Characterize the efficiency of pTetR (R0040) with chemotaxis

BBa_K1412014: pTetR-RBS(1.0)-CheZ-TT

This part consists of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotaxis cheZ] gene which can express CheZ protein make E. coli tumbling or swimming straight. In this light, we linked different promoters before cheZ gene. Then we can characterize the efficiency of promoter via measuring the migration distance positively associated with the expression strength of CheZ protein.

Usage

When we want to characterize the activity of promoter which have not been measured, we usually connect the promoter with GFP, then measuring the fluorescence intensity of GFP. In our project, We linked those three parts: BBa_K1412000, BBa_K1412014 and BBa_K1412614. Then we transferred those gene circuits into E. coli (cheZ knocked out), coated plates, and cultured on semi-solid medium to measure the migration diameter of E. coli parallelly. We verified whether the activity of pLac and pTetR we measured were consistent with which had been measured[1][2] in the beginning. If so, it means that our method is the feasible and we can use this method to characterize the activity of pBAD.
