Timer
A timer was added to the total circuit in order to control the peptide production. The timer is inactivated when there is no S.aureus detected and activated in the opposite case. The timer consists of two main parts: the pTet promoter and the pcI promoter.
As seen in figure 1, the first part of the timer is the pTet promoter. As long as there is no S.aureus, the pTet promoter is on. To be more specific, if pTet promoter is on, then there is no CI produced that can lead to the repression
