Device1;
Sensing formaldehyde and then producing GFP
In frmRAB operon, which origin is chromosome of Escherichia coli, frmAB is normally repressed by frmR. But, when formaldehyde exists, frmR loses its inhibitory and frmAB is expressed. Repressing activity of frmR is shown quantitatively.(2)
This device is composed of frmR gene, its promoter and GFP gene.
By using this device, we can visualize formaldehyde with GFP.

fig1. a) When formaldehyde doesn't exist, frmR represses upstream promoter. In this state, transcription is stopped and GFP isn't produced. b) When formaldehyde exists, it makes frmR lose activity. Then promoter is released from frmR's repress and begins to produce GFP.
