#[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0062:Experience Experience] - '''Promoter (LuxR/3OC6-HSL regulated), BBa_R0062:''' the promoter's EC<sub>50</sub> could be shown to be dependent on the amount of regulator [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0062:Experience LuxR (BBa_C0062)] in the system by using the three different constitutive promoters [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23100:Experience BBa_J23100], [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23109:Experience BBa_J23109], and [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23111:Experience BBa_J23111] for the production of LuxR. The amount of regulator also demonstrated an influence on the promoter's basal expression or leakiness. Additionally, [[Team:ETH_Zurich/expresults#Quorum_Sensing|it could be determined]] that the promoter can also be activated by the regulators [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0179:Experience LasR (BBa_C0179)] and [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0171:Experience RhlR (C0171)] thus showing crosstalk with these two quorum sensing systems. <html><br><br></html>

#[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1541009 Main Page] - '''sfGFP under riboregulated promoter (RhlR/C4-HSL, RR12), BBa_K1541009:''' this riboregulated promoter construct contains the quorum sensing promoter [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_I14017 BBa_I14017] which can be activated in presence of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0171:Experience RhlR (BBa_C0171)] and the homoserine lactone C4-HSL, the product of the enzyme reaction catalyzed by [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0170 RhlI (BBa_C0170)], succeeded by the gene for sfGFP.

#[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1541000 Main Page] - '''Riboregulated Promoter (LuxR/3OC6-HSL, RR12y), BBa_K1541000:''' this riboregulated promoter construct contains the quorum sensing promoter [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0062 BBa_R0062] which can be activated in presence of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0062:Experience LuxR (BBa_C0062)] and 3OC6-HSL, which is the product of the enzyme [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0161 LuxI (BBa_C0161)]. However, the original promoter by itself shows high leakiness.
