After validating the system in the laboratory strains <i>Escherichia coli</i> Top10 and <i>E. coli</i> Nissle 1917, we confirmed that the system indeed works as a thiosulfate sensor, as intended. By linking <i>thsR</i> with <i>sfgfp</i> (BBa_K2507008), chromoprotein genes (BBa_K2507009, BBa_K2507010, BBa_K2507011) or the violacein producing operon vioABDE (BBa_K2507012), this system can respond to thiosulfate by producing a signal visible to the naked eye, either under normal or UV light, such as sfGFP, chromoproteins (spisPink-pink chromoprotein, gfasPurple-purple chromoprotein, amilCP-blue chromoprotein) or a dark-green small-molecule pigment (protoviolaceinic acid).

TtrR
Background
E. coli-codon-optimized TtrS(BBa_K2507002) and TtrR (BBa_K2507003) are two basic parts which are derived from the two-component system of the marine bacterium Shewanella baltica. TtrS is the membrane-bound sensor kinase (SK) which can sense tetrathionate outside the cell, and TtrR is the DNA-binding response regulator (RR).
