Team:LMU-Munich/Data/Inducible
The LMU-Munich team is exuberantly happy about the great success at the World Championship Jamboree in Boston. Our project Beadzillus finished 4th and won the prize for the "Best Wiki" (with Slovenia) and "Best New Application Project".

Inducible Bacillus Promoters
The inducible promoter PliaI was evaluated in the reporter vector pSBBs3C-luxABCDE which contains the lux operon . This is why the promoter activity leads to gene expression and to the production of the protein luciferase. The luminescence of this protein can be measured with the plate reader Synergy2 (Biotek) (Fig.1).

The inducible promoter PliaIwas also evaluated with the reporter vector pSBBs1C-lacZ which contains the lacZ reporter gene (Fig.2). Promoter activity leads to the expression of the β-galactosidase which directly correlates to the promoter activity. The β-galactosidase assay of the inducible Bacillus promoter PliaI was repeated three times. Data show one representative result.
