As part of IGEM 2006, the Edinburgh team attached this part to a lacZ' reporter gene and observed activity in the presence of arsenate. When lactose was included in the growth medium, lactose hydrolysis by LacZ, followed by lactose fermentation, resulted in a considerable pH drop in the presence of arsenate at concentrations as low as 5 ppb arsenic (0.067 micromolar). Effects typically required around 5 hours incubation in the presence of arsenate to become manifest, longer at arsenate concentrations below about 0.2 micromolar. In other work using xylE as a reporter gene, we have observed a similar time course, with around 5 hours induction required for an obervable increase in reporter gene activity.
