===Purpose 1:===
 
-
To check if LacI hybrid promoter is activated by AHL and repressed by LacI.
 
-
===Purpose 2:===
 
-
To obtain parameters of LacI hybrid promoter for computational simulation.
 
-
 
-
===Samples: ===
 
-
<br>1. pTrc99A + [LacI hybrid promoter – GFP] (LacI+)
 
-
<br>2. pBR322 TetR + [LacI hybrid promoter – GFP] (lacI-)
 
-
<br>3. pTrc99A + [placQI – GFP] (placQI is constitutive promoter)

-
<br>'''Repressor LacI expression:'''
 
-
<br>pTrc99A expresses LacI
 
-
<br>pBR322 TetR does NOT express LacI
