Study of an inducible lysis device in E. coli
In synthetic biological systems, cell lysis can be used to engineer programmed cell death and also to release proteins in extra-cellular environment, when secretion is not feasible. In this work, a promoterless lysis device called BBa_K112808, present in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, was studied. A 3OC6-HSL inducible promoter was cloned upstream of the lysis device and used to characterize it.
