Design Notes

We cloned a larger fragment that include the promoter, then use another pair of primers to specify clone of the promoter. Therefore we can avoid the length of the unintended bands being too similar to distinct easily. The sequence we cloned has to include all transcriptional factors for the promoter. We use BBa_B0034 as the RBS of the promoter, so we didn't clone the RBS from the genomic DNA.

Source

The ftsQp1 and ftsQp2 promoters are cloned from E.coli K-12 MG1655 genomic DNA.
