Inducible Bacillus Promoters
Fig. 1: Luminescence measurements of the promoter PliaI with induction with different concentrations of Bacitracin.
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.
