Cytotoxicity:
This Biobrick is one part of the pathway, which leads to caffeine (the BioBricks BBa_K801074 and BBa_K801075 are further needed). We investigated the toxicity of caffeine and found out, that the growth of yeast strains was inhibited at concentrations of 10 mM. Caffeine with a concentration of 100 mM even showed a lethal effect on yeast cells. Lower concentrations of caffeine (range of micro molar) did not show any growth inhibition or effect.
