In E. coli the curli-producing system is organized in two divergeant operons with the genes
 
-
csgA, csgB and csgC on one side and csgD, csgE, csgF and csgG of the other one. So to
 
-
achieve the first approach of the project, it is necessary to begin by the creation of three "sub-
 
-
parts": the first one would be the part with the sole promoter PrcnA, the second would be the
 
-
part with the genes csgA and csgB and final one would be the part with the genes csgE, csgF
 
-
and csgG.

The synthesis of this first DNA part (the cobalt-inducible promoter Prcn-csgBAEFG, which is
 
-
designed to induce formation of a biofilm and to promote cell adhesion) was conceived as as a
 
-
competition between two methods: a completely synthetic approach, and a "manual" method
 
-
involving PCR steps followed by ligations. <br/>

-
              <li style="line-height : 1.5em"> The second approach was to made it directly at the bench, this approach included three
 
-
steps: first the amplification by PCR of each of the sub parts, second a mutagenesis
 
-
step to remove all the natural internal EcoRI sites located in the sub parts, and finally
 
-
the ligation of these parts.</li>

Both approches were initiated at the same time, and if the second one allowed us to obtain
 
-
PCR amplifications of the correct size (see figure) and a complete Prcn-csgBAEFG
 
-
construction, unfortunately sequencing analysis revealed unexpected mutations that were not
 
-
removed before reception of the whole part made by Genecust. In brief the "click and order"
 
-
strategy wins the race !
