Cry11Aa (Strep tag) + deGFP Device

PR1 - RBS - Cry11Aa(Strep tag) - RBS - deGFP - T500 Terminator

This plasmid was planned on a pBEST plasmid backbone. It contains larvicidal activity, as it containing toxic subunit of the bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) pBtoxis plasmid which is toxic to mosquitoes larva.

The plasmid was constructed using gibson assembly, then was incorporated into E.coli BL21 and DH5a using Heat shock, and into serratia marcescens 274 using electroporation.

Characterization
