Part:BBa_K1709003:Experience

To characterize the CheZ-GFP BioBrick, the fragment containing a RBS was cloned directly after a strong promotor (BBa_J23101). The first figure shows the gel right before ligation.
The colonies were checked by restriction mapping using BcuI and PstI (results not shown). The DNA sequence was also confirmed by DNA sequencing. Results can be provided by email. The presence of colonies expressing GFP proves that the plasmid was designed and cloned correctly.

Further DNA sequencing proved the correct sequence, as designed.

GFP is expressed in the cells. This confirms the correct construction of the BioBrick

Further characterization could be done by transforming the cheZ knockout Keio strain with this plasmid. These cells should then regain their possibility to swim.
