The MWSU/Davidson iGEM 2009 team sequenced this promoter isolated from cells that had grown for several weeks when we obtained gel results indicating that the part might be too large. The team found that there was a 35 bp spontaneous insertion within this promoter directly before the suffix. We believe that the ''E.coli'' cells may have mutated the promoter to silence its activity in an effort to conserve energy and select against an attribute that did not necessarily improve its fitness.

The MWSU/Davidson iGEM 2009 team sequenced this promoter isolated from cells that had grown for several weeks when we obtained gel results indicating that the part might be too large. The team found that there was a 35 bp spontaneous insertion within this promoter directly before the suffix. We believe that the E.coli cells may have mutated the promoter to silence its activity in an effort to conserve energy and select against an attribute that did not necessarily improve its fitness. Here is the 35 bp insertion:
