NowGFP-golB (FRET DONOR) This part is a composite part composed of a green fluorescent protein (NowGFP) and a golB protein along with its own constitutive promoter, RBS and terminator with a spacer between the two genes. This composite part serves as the donor part of the FRET mechanism employed in this project. With the golB binding to gold atoms and the NowGFP giving off fluorescence to excite acceptor proteins.
High Potential Iron Sulphur Protein (HiPiP)This part is a composite part composed of a green fluorescent protein (NowGFP) and a golB protein along with its own constitutive promoter, RBS and terminator with a spacer between the two genes. This composite part serves as the donor part of the FRET mechanism employed in this project. With the golB binding to gold atoms and the NowGFP giving off fluorescence to excite acceptor proteins.
pH resistance EcoliThis part is a composite part composed of a pH_resistance gene. With its own constitutive promoter, RBS and a double terminator, the part is designed for the E.coli to provide pH resistance to enable it to survive in the bio-mining environment
pH resistance EcoliThis part is composed of a High potential iron-sulphur protein (HiPIP) with its own constitutive Promoter, RBS and double terminator. This part in addition to the Tetrathionate Hydrolase part enable the bacteria (E.coli) to liberate the gold from its ore similar to the way the Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans achieves this goal.
