Engineering bacteria to solve the Burnt Pancake Problem-3

Owed by ---is shown at the top. In this arrangement, cannot drive expression. Simultaneous inversion of both segments converts into ; the promoter is directed towards so that expression is turned on. (B, inset C) White light photograph of colonies ~18-hours after cotransformation with BPP plasmid and HinLVA. (D, inset E) mRFP protein production visualized under ultraviolet light (solid white arrow) indicates a simultaneous flip of two adjacent pancakes that placed in the reverse orientation adjacent to -. Some colonies do not glow red (open arrow), indicating a lack of double segment flipping or subsequent conversion into other arrangements that lack expression (, ).Copyright information:Taken from "Engineering bacteria to solve the Burnt Pancake Problem"http://www.jbioleng.org/content/2/1/8Journal of Biological Engineering 2008;2():8-8.Published online 20 May 2008PMCID:PMC2427008.
