For this experiment with used the Escherichia coli K12 TH1269 strain (hipA7) which is a high persistence mutant. We evaluated the persistence frequencies of untransformed TH1269 strain and Escherichia coli MG1655 controls. This experiment was made in LB medium, supplemented with Ampicillin (100 ug/mL) for ensuring plasmid maintenance, when cultures reached stationary growth phase (ON). Bacterial cultures were incubated at 37 C and 200 rpm.

For this experiment with used the ''Escherichia coli'' K12 TH1269 strain (''hipA7'') which is a high persistence mutant. We evaluated the persistence frequencies of untransformed TH1269 strain and ''E. coli'' MG1655 (wild type) as controls. This experiment was made in LB medium, supplemented with Ampicillin (100 ug/mL) for ensuring plasmid maintenance, when cultures reached stationary growth phase (ON).

As seen, our part functions as expected. Due to the leakage of lactose promoter, HipB antitoxin is endogenously expressed even without IPTG and the presence of BBa_K831009 part along can reduce persistence frequencies in ''Escherichia coli'' strains.

Inducible HipB antitoxin under the control of lac promoter

HipB is the antitoxin of the HipAB toxin-antitoxin (TA) module. HipB neutralizes the toxin effect of HipA due to protein-protein interactions.

Functional characterization

As HipB neutralizes the induction of persistency caused by HipA7 in this strain, we induced our strain with IPTG at different concentrations and evaluate the persisters frequencies implementing an original protocol for persister cells isolation based on lysis (S. Cañas et al., Manuscript in preparation).

For this experiment with used the Escherichia coli K12 TH1269 strain (hipA7) which is a high persistence mutant. We evaluated the persistence frequencies of untransformed TH1269 strain and E. coli MG1655 (wild type) as controls. This experiment was made in LB medium, supplemented with Ampicillin (100 ug/mL) for ensuring plasmid maintenance, when cultures reached stationary growth phase (ON). Bacterial cultures were incubated at 37 C and 200 rpm.

As seen, our part functions as expected. Due to the leakage of lactose promoter, HipB antitoxin is endogenously expressed even without IPTG and the presence of BBa_K831009 part along can reduce persistence frequencies in Escherichia coli strains.
