Hya promoter and Superfolded GFP

Introduction

The hya promoter is encoded in the genome of K-12 MG1655 E.Coli bacteria. Upon external acidification it is activated and induced transcribtion of hydrogenase isoenzyme 1. This enzyme can then catalyze reversible oxidation of hydrogen.

As a proof of principle we inserted the hya Promoter in front of BioBrick BBa_I746916 which encodes superfolded GFP. Then the induction was tested by transforming cells with the construct, innoculating them in media with different pHs and finally measure their GFP expression with a plate reader and looking at their fluorescence under the microscope.
