Design Notes

We constructed and improved standard BioBrick Parts about quorum sensing systems and modified the systems in prokaryotic microorganisms for usage in S. cerevisiae (Yeast). The LuxR gene is constitutively expressed, while the activation of Lux Promoter requires the signaling of N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone (AHL). Therefore, mCherry is activated in the presence of AHL.
