Anderson J23112-RFP in pSEVA331-Bb

This is Anderson promoter J23112 driving the expression of Elowitz RBS-mFRP in pSEVA331-Bb plasmid backbone (part BBa_K1321300) and is a member of the G.xylinus genetic engineering toolkit (parts BBa_K1321295 - BBa_K1321332). BBa_K1321317 results in a low level of RFP expression in G.xylinus (see Figure 1)., implying that J23112 is a weak promoter in G.xylinus. Further characterization is ongoing.


Figure 1. RFP expression from BBa_K1321316 in G.xylinus igem strain. Top three plates - transformed G.xylinus, bottom - untransformed control. Image taken under blue light box 5 days after transformation. G.xylinus was cultured on HS-agar plates, at 30degC inverted.


























G.xylinus toolkit was designed to ease genetic engineering of cellulose-based biomaterials using the cellulose synthesizing bacterium Gluconacetobacter xylinus (parts Bba_K1321305 and BBa_K1321306). As no registry parts had been tested in G.xylinus, the aim of this toolkit was to determine the parts usable in G.xylinus and to characterize them in this host. pSEVA331-Bb is a non-standard broad host range plasmid capable of replication in G.xylinus and E.coli (a shuttle vector) and was selected because the registry's standard plasmid backbone pSB1C3 can not be used for G.xylinus engineering.

NOTE: Because the registry's standard plasmid backbone pSB1C3 is not capable of replication in Gluconacetobacter species, the G.xylinus genetic engineering toolkit is housed mainly in pSEVA331-Bb. pSEVA331-Bb is a non-standard backbone, which therefore can't be quality controlled by and maintained in the Registry. However, in order to make the G.xylinus toolkit available for the synthetic biology community, Imperial iGEM 2014 team has made it freely available upon request, with quality control provided (see Experience). To request, please contact Imperial iGEM 2014 team.
