Applications of BBa_K1033250

Utah State used this fluorescent protein in their 2015 for a project engineering Lactococcus lactis to detect and fight against phi31 phage infection. It was not tested in L. lactis but did display function in E. coli when paired with three L. lactis promoters. (see Figures 1 and 2).
