Design Notes

pBAD has been intensively investigated by previous iGEM projects and has tight regulation upon downstream genes. It is the most suitable promoter for regulating toxin genes and preventing their toxic effects because glucose can be used to repress its activity. Codon optimization was performed for the expression of the gene in E. coli.
