Design Notes

The promoter and RBS of the circuit are optimized for protein expression in B. subtilis. However, further codon optimization might be needed to achieve the full potential for expression level.

The P2 promoter shows a high background expression in E. coli, but the detection device should function as intended in B. subtilis, as previous research showed that the same design works in closely related gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus megaterium)[5]. However, we don't have enough time to test this design.

As the host bacteria changes, Spn1s_LysRZ may not work for B. subtilis. Thus, another self-lysing enzyme should be used as a substitution to let the circuit function in B. subtilis.

For the initial version designed for the expression in E.coli, see BBa_K4593020.

Source

LysDZ25 is from bacteriophage DZ25[1], LysGH15 is from Bacteriophage GH15[2], and ClyC is a hybrid endolysin with CBD of LysPALS1 and EAD of LysSA12[3]; Spn1s_LysRZ is from bacteriophage SPN1S[4].

The QS system is from the S. aureus genome, contributed by iGEM07_Cambridge.
