<li>PhtpG1-mRFP <u><b>can work in different genetic backgrounds</b></u>. Interestingly, the stress reporter was robust in all three strains of <i>E. coli</i> that it was tested in: DH5α, BL21 (DE3) and BL21 Star (DE3).</li>

<li>PhtpG1-mRFP is <b><u>robust in different temperatures</u></b>. However, at low temperatures i.e. 25°C, more time is expected to allow for growth to stabilize/increase steadily before readings follow an expected trend. Given that PhtpG1 is a promoter that is involved in heat-shock response (and that requires heat-shock response sigma factor (σ32)), higher temperatures would be expected to activate the promoter to a greater extent (Ceroni et al., 2018). </li>

<li>PhtpG1-mRFP appears to be <b><u>sensitive to the size of constructs that is introduced</u></b> into the cell. The highest levels of mRFP was consistently found to be generated in test construct Set-up C (see Figure 6), in which the large de novo plasmid<sup>a</sup> was expressed, followed by test construct Set-up E and F expressing the moderately sized FNS<sup>a</sup> protein, and the lowest being in test construct Set-up A, in which only GFP was expressed<sup>a</sup>.</li>

HicA
This part contains the toxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. HicA is a probable translation-independent mRNA interferase.
