Constitutively expressed chromoprotein aeBlue

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

Usage and Biology

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