Modelling

The block diagram shows the module where GFP expression is control by cstA promoter; the expression is triggered under low glucose concentrations.


In the models the environmental sensitive promoters (cstA) is activated by carbon starvation stress, then the mRNA encoding T7 RNA polymerase is transcribed, whose protein binds the T7 promoter driving the expression of the the reporter output (GFP).
