New basic part
We chose PctA-Tar hybrid as our best new basic part. This part serves as the proof of
concept in the LBD replacing strategy for our S.Tar platform. PctA is a chemoreceptor
found in the bacterium P. Aeruginosa which mediates chemotaxis toward amino acids and
away from organic compounds. The PctA-Tar hybrid was conducted previously in the literature
and tested for chemotaxis response to attractants but not to repellents. Our experiments
show that the hybrid receptor sensitive to the PctA repellent, organic components. This
property is significant and can be used in various applications including detection of
polluted water. To learn more please check our Proof of concept page and the PctA part
,K1992001, in the registry.
