Parts

For the construction of our parts, we made use of the IDT synthesis offer. This way we were able to generate our required parts in a fast and efficient way. All of the parts were designed containing the coding sequence, RBS, promoter and terminators, if applicable. Therefore, all of the parts we used are composite. The different basic parts comprising the composite parts are documented seperately, although they do not exist induvidually. In the case of a constitutive expression, the promoter is included in the biobrick itself. For the inducible expression, however, we made use of a plasmid backbone containing a Lac-promoter and the LacI gene, which encodes for the Lac repressor. Consequently, these parts themselves do not contain a promoter. Additionally, using PCR rather than synthesis, we constructed a small collection of GFP expression devices, based on an existing biobrick.
