<p align="justify"> The 3a assembly with the promoter did not work at all (left picture above). We yielded mostly just red colonies and the few that were white were wrong, never having the promoter with MazF. After many attempts with either the pSB1C3 or our own Bacillus vectors, we chose to directly transform the 3a assembly into ''Bacillus subtilis'' in hope that it would cope better with the toxin and/or the promoter would be less leaky. This was though sadly too late to finish before Amsterdam. But maybe the story will be told to an end at Boston.<br></p>
