Design Notes

Potential cell-cycle dependent promoters in Escherichia coli and their sequences were identified from literature (Quiñones 1997) and isolated using Colony PCR. We developed our constructs for assay by ligating these PCR products in front of BBa_E0840, which consists of RBS BBa_B0030, reporter BBa_E0040 (mut3b GFP), and terminator BBa_B0015.

This construct performs effectively in E. coli; functionality in other organisms has not been tested.
