Characterization of the T7 signal amplification leakage in E. Coli

We characterized T7 autoloop in E. Coli, when hosted in the plasmid pSB1C3 (the K606036 part). The idea was to see if the system was leaky inside a synthetic biology plasmid, that is to say, a plasmid holding 4 terminators before any construct.

We found out that there is a leakage, but it is small. The cells in which the positive feed back look is activated stop deviding and glow with a very strong signal. Here are the images commented
