Part:BBa_K2992000

FAST reporter gene

Fluorescence-Activating and Absorption-Shifting Tag Protein (FAST) reporter gene.

Usage and Biology

FAST is one of the few fluorescent reporters available for effective use in anaerobic organisms. FAST is derived from Halorhodospira halophila and has been codon optimised for fluorescence studies in the genus Clostridium. In our project we use FAST as a reporter to demonstrate the activity of our chosen promoters and to assess its suitability as an alternative non-volatile reporter system for predicting neurotoxin production.

Characterisation

This part was used as part of our FAST reporter constructs - BBa_K2992042,BBa_K2992043,BBa_K2992044,BBa_K2992045, BBa_K2992046, BBa_K2992047,BBa_K2992048 - which were characterised using the FAST fluorometric assay....
