Promoters
 
For expressing genes in L. lactis, promoters are needed. Together with the standard RBS (BBa_B0034) and the standard double terminator (BBa_B0015) they get genes transcribed and translated. The set of promoters that is used for the L. lactis toolbox is the promoter collection that was BioBricked by the Uppsala iGEM team in 2013. The promoters originate from L. lactis and have first been described by Jensen and Hammer in 1998.1 The promoters were placed in front of a fluorescent marker in L. lactis, so their relative strength is known.
