Stress sensor precursor (LacI+pLac+mCherry)
This is our system without the rrnB P1-promotor. Because this construct lacks a downregulated promotor in front of it, LacI will not be syntethized, and in response, pLac will not be downregulated of LacI. Since pLac is not downregulated, mCherry is going to be present whether the cells are stressed or not. Our experiments indicate that the stress sensor precursor is put together the right way.
This construct could in theory be used for any kind of biosensor. The only thing needed is a promotor that gets downregulated by the chemical one would want to detect.
