Design Notes
Plasmid Map
We did not run into any major design considerations after analyzing our construct using Gene Designer. Our inspiration for this project stemmed from the literature suggesting that AI-2 is a quorum sensing pathway, that could possibly allow control of bacterial growth(see reference 1).
Source
The genetic sequence of the LsrR gene was sourced through the UniProt database. Other parts were sourced through DNA 2.0 under the plasmid name pD444-CH.
