We want to make a Coli Touch!
We try to construct a bacterial `touch panel’ which is colored by the pressure.
We name it Coli. touch.
- why pressure ?
- In iGEM, genetic circuits responded by various inputs -- for example, heat, small molecule, and light -- have been constructed. However, a pressure-responsive genetic circuit had not been constructed yet. Therefore, we constructed a pressure responsive circuit using a pressure-inducible promoter.
- Pressure inducible promoter - Plac
- The affinity of LacI for the lac operator is known to decrease due to a tetramer to dimer transition of LacI
