Design Notes

Because this is a positive regulator (it ceases transcriptional termination in the presence of F- ions), it was decided that it should be placed upstream of a direct reporter. In this case, lacZ was used as our reporter.

  • Many thanks to the Breaker lab at Yale University, who provided us with the original lacZ reporter construct, as well as a strain of bacillus subtilis that had had its fluoride riboswitch knocked out.
