Arabinose inducible Reflectin A1 generator allows for a titratable expression of the protein. The reflectin gene is under the control of the pBAD promoter [[Part:BBa_I0500 I0500]], which is tightly controlled by two factors:
*'''L-arabinose''' monosaccharide taken up by the cell from the medium, which acts as an ''inducer''. 
*'''AraC''' protein included in the I0500 biobrick, which acts an a ''repressor''. 
Therefore, the araC-pBAD system offers regulatable control of gene expression in the presence of the inducer and highly repressed in the absence of the inducer. 
In order to obtain a linear titratable relation between the concentration of arabinose in the medium and the level of reflectin expression, a special strain of bacteria [http://cgsc.biology.yale.edu/Strain.php?ID=111773 BW27783] needs to be used.
