The Experiments
Testing Individual Composite Parts
- Prepro Parts
We made parts of the format {promoter}{rbs}{prepro}{phoA}{term}. The promoter we used was {pBad}, and we tried 3 different ribosome binding sites with each prepro. We plated the bacteria we transformed on two plates, both with p-nitrophenyl phosphate, but one had arabinose and one did not. We screened successful rbs/prepro combinations by looking for combinations which caused blue colonies on the plate with arabinose and white colonies on the plate without arabinose. This could also be done in liquid culture. In preparation for later composite parts, we made sure that the {rbs}{prepro} part was an intermediate when making our construction tree.
