LacZ reporter

  1. Ligate LacZ coding region to gentamycin RBS part. (Done?)(1 day)
  2. Transform and select for appropriate construct using Kan/Gen plate. (Done?)(1 day + overnight)
  3. Liquid culture, miniprep and screen via restriction digest (EcoRI and SpeI), digest double terminator (P1 1G) simultaneously (EcoRI and XbaI) (overnight + 1 day)
  4. Make glycerol stock of RBS-LacZ containing cells. (same day)
  1. Ligate the RBS-LacZ construct into double terminator plasmid. (same day)
  2. Transform ligation and select for construct using Gen/Amp plate. (1 day + overnight)
  3. Liquid culture, miniprep and confirm using EcoRI/Pst digest (overnight + 1 day)
  4. prepare glycerol stock (same day)


This construct can then be ligated to appropriate promoters for use as a test harness with the substrate 3,4-cyclohexenoesculetin--D-galactopyranoside (S-Gal). For information on conditions see supplementary info from the following paper:

Test harnesses needed:

  • OmpR promoter: Ligate to promoter (3 days) and express in Envz+ cells under osmotic stress (time?)
  • Red light system: Above construct in Envz- cells with red light system
  • Blue light system: Ligate to Promoter responding to ComA (3 days), in Envz- cells constitutively expressing ComA and Blue light receptors (time?)
  • AND gate: Use above construct in Envz- cells constitutively expressing Blue light receptor and Red light receptor with ComA expression under the control of OmpR promoter. (time?)
