Part:BBa_K1412001
Endow the E.coli engineered strain(CL-1) the ability of chemotaxis
What it is
Composite part enables the chemotaxis of our engineering bacteria could be regulated by IPTG and L-Arabinose; pBAD and pLac promoters control the expression of Lac I and CheZ.
What it does
when L-Arabinose is added, pBAD promoter is activated, expressing Lac I, inhibiting the expression of CheZ. When IPTG is added, IPTG combines with Lac I, forming a complex, thus relief the inhibition and the CheZ express, make the ability of chemotaxis recover.
How to use it in their project
Use IPTG as an inducer and L-Arabinose as an inhibitor to take control of the chemotaxis of the engineering bacteria.
Experimental data

By adding chloramphenicol of different concentrations.Team XMU2014 found the best Chemotaxis as the concentration is 50μg/ml
