To explore the questions on BioBricks characterisation, we planned the construction of the following strains:

The P_AOX1 strains are basically different combinations of variants of only three DNA elements: the P_AOX1 promoter, the RFP reporter protein and the modified Mxr1p transcription factor (aforementioned on Detecthol. Thanks to Life Technologies, the strain B1 and the Mxr1p modified and minimum were synthesised and this enabled the possibility of construction of all other strains.

Comparing the fluorescence time delay and intensity between strains Control 1, A1, and B1, we will be able to check the strength and the response velocity of the device with modified P_AOX1 and the efficiency of codon-optimization on RFP for P. pastoris. The comparison between control strains 2 and 3 with A2 and B2 will draw the picture of PAOX1 behaviour with the modified Mxr1p transcription factor with the same variables from the last comparison, but also testing if the shorter version of Mxr1p—consisting in the sequence for the N-terminal 400 amino-acids from Mxr1p—cited on literature [2] will work properly.
