E. coli dxs (lac promoter without lac inhibitor)

This part contains the dxs gene derived from E. coli (BBa_K118000) controlled by the lac promoter and has a strong RBS. The part was build to increase the flow through the MEP (methylerythritol phosphate) pathway, and to test whether Dxs derived from E. coli or B. subtilis increased the flow through the MEP pathway the most in E. coli.

+This part contains the ''dxs'' gene derived from ''E. coli'' ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K118000 BBa_K118000]) controlled by the ''lac'' promoter and has a strong RBS. The part was build to increase the flow through the MEP (methylerythritol phosphate) pathway, and to test whether Dxs derived from ''E. coli'' or ''B. subtilis'' increased the flow through the MEP pathway the most in ''E. coli''.
-Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to examine the expression profile of a similar part (BBa_K1088008) with linker-GFP attached to the end of Dxs derived from ''B. subtilis''. The part was examined in the K-12 MG1655 (natural levels of LacI) and KG22 (overexpression of LacI from chromosome) strains. The experiment proved that overexpression of LacI is required for repression of the lac promoter (and therefore also control of the regulation).
