Making delayed-LuxR mutants
From 2009.igem.org
Experiments
- luxR gene was mutated by error-prone PCR using Mn2+(Joyce, 1996) and cloned it into a pUC vector.
- This library was transformed into XL10-Gold, and the plasmid was mini-prepped to get an plasmid library (pUC-[luxR]).
- The plasmid library was transformed into XL1-Blue harboring pAC-plux-gfp, which will glow green when an active LuxR was present.
- We screened for the fast/dull mutant of LuxR, and collected the clone's plasmid.
