2.6 Genetic circuits built in this study
2.6.2 Plasmids
For E. coli and B. subtilis studies, we used or built the plasmids listed in Table 2.1. Plasmids were always propagated in E. coli DH5α at 37◦C unless stated otherwise in
the plasmid notes (for instance, temperature sensitive replicons). The R6k origin of replication plasmids were propagated in an E. coli DH5α λpir strain to allow them to replicate[133]. Plasmids were usually constructed in DH5α and characterised in E. coli MG1655 or BW25113 strains[12].
