GFP with strong constitutive promoter, RBS and terminator
Indroduction
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. This mutant represents a series of mutations resulting in enhanced maturation and emission [1]. It is expressed under control of the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100, strong RBS BBa_B0030 and terminators BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012.
This part is based on the part BBa_E0840, with an additional promoter. This part belongs to the following part collection, consisting of GFP under five consitutive promoters with different strengths:

Construction
This part is based on the part BBa_E0840, which already contains RBS, GFP gene and terminators. By means of PCR we added the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100. Two PCR reactions were performed with the following primers (Table 1).
Table 1: Primers used to add promoter to GFP BioBrick.

To prevent annealing of the primer containing the promoter (J23100-E0840_FW), to the BioBrick prefix, a preliminary PCR was performed with a forward primer not containing the BioBrick prefix (E0840_FW) (Figure 1).
Characterization
In order to validate the fluorescence of the gene product, a fluorescence spectrum was measured at the excitation wavelength of 488 nm. The spectrum was recorded in a plate reader and for comparison, the results were normalized by dividing by the OD600.
