Discussion Points
  • rbc may be too strong a promoter for use in the proposed construct
  • test the strength of RBC and explore if it is leaky by creating a lacZ/GFP fusion protein
  • use the fusion protein plasmid from SC, use amplifier to get the RBCL promoter, cut out the fusion site and put into pCC1383. -> 'It can be made into a biobrick if it works.'
  • expression of lux as controlled by lac may not be enough without available lactose
    • question: Is lactose membrane permeable for S. PCC6803? [http://cyano.genome.jp/cgi-bin/cyorf_view.cgi?ORG=syn&ACCESSION=slr1202 YES] PCC6803 encodes two lactose permease proteins, lacF and lacG.
    • may need to find a membrane permeable substance that can bind to the lac promoter

Krystle: bacterial export system, soluble proteins

Discussion Points
  • it will be best to focus on pilA and slr2016, signal sequences that have already been experimentally confirmed

Margaret: synthetic plasmid biobricks
