Constitutively expressed chromoprotein amilGFP

The device consists of a strong promoter (BBa_J23100) combined with a RBS (BBa_B0032) and the encoding region of the chromoprotein amilGFP. This results in a constitutively high expression of amilGFP.


Usage and Biology

During cultivation, the chromoprotein amilGFP is expressed and stored intracellularly. The yellow color of the protein can be seen by the naked eye, thus the chromoprotein can be used as a reporter or selection marker to distinguish cells easily.

The yellow color of eforRed cannot only be seen by the naked eye but it also fluoresce when excited. Thus it can be used to identify cells with fluorescent microscopy or FACS. For further information as well as absorption and emission spectra see experience page
