Mercury ions detector device


We used the biobrick (BBa_E0840) available on iGEM database since 2004 to connect to our “essential bio brick” (BBa_K1355001) and - together - form a system capable of bio detection mercury in bacteria, represented below:

In the presence of mercury, MerR protein will bind to it and MerT, MerP and the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) protein will be expressed and bio detection starts! MerP and MerT proteins are responsible for the transport of mercury from the periplasm to cytoplasm and GFP will act as a reporter alerting the presence of mercury in the middle and higher is mercury’s concentration, higher will be GFP expression. And if there isn’t mercury on medium, MerT, MerP and GFP synthesis will be repressed by MerR repressor protein.
