We built two integrative plasmid backbones for Synechocystis PCC. 6803.
Constructs for Synechocystis
Using our plasmid backbones we proceeded to build our constructs for Synechocystis (LuxAB & LuxCDEG)
Characterization in Synechocystis
Transformation
We used our plasmid backbones to transform Synechocystis PCC. 6803.
Transformation with pSB1C3_IntK (BBa_K743006):
Transformation with pSB1C3_IntS (BBa_K743010):
Verification of constructs
We proceeded to verificate the integration of the constructs in Synechocystis.

During the Latin America Jamboree, we had a chat with a couple of judges and a student, David Olarte, on how to induce Synechocystis with n-decanal.
David sent us some work he had done on luminescence assays in cyanobacteria. Following his methods finally we were able to see light emition.
