Description

Input: L-Arabinose Output: Light (orange)

pBad/araC I0500 mutated version of Luciferase/LRE K325210

---

Description
This part is based on part BBa_K325219. Two site-directed mutagenesis events have been carried out on the luciferase, an Asn286 Ser mutation was used to create part BBa_K325209 which is the green wild-type luciferase. Then a Ser286Asn mutation was used to create a orange bioluminescence.
