Making Marimos

Fig1. Scheme of final gene cuircuit for Bacteria Marimo.

Parts Construction

Because we found that FliC code includes restriction enzyme(EcoRI,SpeI,PstI) which is used in Biobrick, we divided into plasmid of FliC and one of signal, and aimed the double transformation.

FliC-His generator

Experiment

Fig2.Ligation Strategy
  • We regulate the expression of His-tagged FliC by lux promoter. Namely, if LuxR is expressed, bacteria can express FliC via Quorum Seinsing.
  • Because the Quorum Sensing device is on ColE1-type vector, we need to export the FliC unit into the plasmids with compatible origins such as p15A.

Results

First attempt to import FliC-His generator into p15A vector (see Fig).
Communication units are on ColE1 type plasmids.
To make this stickly FliC construct compatible with communication circuits, this is an absolute necessity.....
