| − | Use a constitutive promoter (BBa_J23110), RNA thermometer (BBa_K3733011), strong RBS (BBa_B0034), toxin HepT (BBa_K3733010), and a strong transcriptional terminator Lambda t1 transcriptional terminator (BBa_K864601). Will express the HepT toxin below 28 ℃ to commit suicide.

| |
| − | <p>
| |
| − | This composite part is one of temperature-based suicide schemes for the engineered bacteria functioning in mammal intestine. It was designed to lead bacteria to commit suicide as they are leaked into the environment (at low temperatures) but do not affect the growth of engineered bacteria in intestine (at high temperatures).

| |
| − | To verify the function of this composite part, we transferred it into <i>E.coli</i> DH5α. Meanwhile, we also transformed blank plasmid (only with <i>ori</i> and <i>cmR</i>) into DH5α as control group. We incubated engineered bacteria at 37 ℃ and 28 ℃, taking the bacteria with blank plasmid as control. As the <b>Figure 1</b> shows, medium of experimental group shaked at 28 ℃ is more limpid than ones shaked at 37 ℃; however, in the control group, the medium shaked at 28 ℃ is almost as turbid as ones shaked at 37 ℃.

| − | We also plotted the quantitative growth curves at 28 ℃ in this suicide scheme. We got OD<sub>600</sub> data changing over time by culturing our engineered bacteria and control bacteria in an automatic microplate reader for 12 hours. Compared with controls, the growth of our engineered bacteria was inhibited obviously(<b>Figure 2</b>).

| |
| − | To further verify the temperature sensibility of this composite part, we reput bacteria cultured at 28 ℃ into an oribital shaker at 37 ℃ overnight. Compared with themselves, the medium becomes turbid observably at 37 ℃, which means this part could make engineered bacteria kill themselves at 28 ℃ and let them survive at 37 ℃, working as expected(<b>Figure 3</b>).

This is an aerobically initiated promoter that initiates transcription of subsequent sequences under microaerobic and aerobic conditions. The mechanism is based on the fact that Fnr takes over the promoter sequence under anaerobic conditions, competes with RNA polymerase for binding sites, and thus prevents the transcription of subsequent sequences. However, under microaerobic and aerobic conditions, Fnr protein does not bind to the sequence, and thus can continue the subsequent transcription.
