Cell Strains and Media Components

Escherichia coli strain DH10B were made chemically competent following a standard protocol and were used to clone the pSB-AraC-pBAD and pSB-LacI-pLAC elements. Additionally, High Efficiency chemically competent DH10B E.coli were purchased from New England Biolabs for assembly of the Acs cellulose-producing operon, which was codon-optimized for expression in E.coli and synthesized by GenArt. Both strains were grown overnight in liquid cultures (supplemented with specific antibiotics), or on semi-solid LB-Agar plates, provided with the specific antibiotic, as listed on the table below.

Luria Broth Miller (LB) and LB Agar were purchased from ????, prepared using standard protocols and used throughout the experimental procedure. During characterization, Acs-containing strains were supplemented with 1% D-glucose, 0.1% Arabinose and 0.5mM IPTG.

Chemicals

Congo Red was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Steiheim, Germany) and diluted in 1x PBS to a concentration of 350uM. The final Congo Red concentration used during system characterization steps was 20uM.

Construct Assembly

Cloning of pSB-AraC-pBAD

The AraC and pBAD elements were obtained by PCR, using the Biobricks BBa_K325108, BBa_K325218 and BBa_K325219 as DNA templates, all of which follow the standard structure showed on the image below (left hand side, add legend, add figure number). The primers used during this procedure were as follows:

  • Forward: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG
  • Reverse: GCTAGCCCAAAAAAACGGGTATGGAG

The amplified elements were DpnI-treated following a standard procedure (New England Biolabs), and were subsequently submitted to a purification step (Qiaquick PCR clean up, Qiagen) prior to self-ligation. Three different template concentrations were tested during ligation (specifically 3ng, 7.5ng and 15 ng), and were incubated at room temperature for 1h+. The ligation mix was then transformed into chemically competent DH10B E.coli using a standard chemical transformation protocol and plated out on Chloramphenicol-specific LB plates.
