Construction intermediate

Usage and Biology

The phage λcam was used to establish lysogens of E. coli strain DH10B carrying rcsA induction devices in pSB1A2. Using the Caltech iGEM [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Protocols/rcsA_Lysogen_Induction rcsA lysogen induction protocol] and then [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Protocols/Titering titering] the resulting phage on wild-type E. coli, the series of devices S04080 (no promoter), K137129 (weak RBS B0033), K137118 (medium RBS B0032), K137114 (strong RBS B0034), and K137117 (strong RBS B0034 plus constitutive cI expression) produced the following concentrations of plaque forming units (pfu/mL).

Increasing the RBS strength increased the background lysogen induction without changing the dynamic range (ratio of pfu/mL induced vs. uninduced). Adding constitutive cI expression increased the dynamic range roughly 3-fold, lowering background leakiness without significantly lowering the induced expression.
