Repressor switch

Based on the system of iGEM team Slovenia 2012, we adapted de repressor system. The objective is to reproduced a simplex circuit in a Lactobacillus chassis.
The main goal of our xenobiotics biosensor is to detect organochorides in different concentration in order to activated a correct answered. When the concentration is high Gal4 DBD could add to UAS and activated linA, a protein wich degrades pesticides, and at the same time express a repressor protein wich inhibits the activity of the promoter that controled the kill switch system. When the concentration decrease, there is not enought UAS activity in the linA system so the peptides that kill the bacteria starts to be produced.
