This part is an assembly of different constructs, which then yield a final plasmid, able to self lyse <i>Escherichia coli</i> cells. It is a construct based on the Quorum sensing system, which induces cell lysis upon synthesis of the quorum sensing molecule acyl homoserine lactone. Upon synthesis of this by the <i>LuxI</i> gene, it will bind to the regulator LuxR and then to the promoter pLux, which will activate synthesis of the lysis protein E from the bacteriophage phiX174E.

luxI_luxR_Plux_E

This part is an assembly of different constructs, which then yield a final plasmid, able to self lyse Escherichia coli cells. It is a construct based on the Quorum sensing system, which induces cell lysis upon synthesis of the quorum sensing molecule acyl homoserine lactone. Upon synthesis of this by the LuxI gene, it will bind to the regulator LuxR and then to the promoter pLux, which will activate synthesis of the lysis protein E from the bacteriophage phiX174E.


Usage and Biology This construct can be used to regulate cell density. Compared to the wildtype cells, cells harbouring this plasmid grow slower. Observation of their growth shows a remissive exponential phase, reaching the stationary phase with a lower cell density compared to wild type celly.
