Notes on various promoters:

OmpA: Among the strongest promoters in E. coli (1, cited in 2).


XylS/Pm system

pBAD

  • Inducible by l-arabinose
  • Wild-type E. coli show heterogenous (all-or-nothing) induction upon addition of arabinose.
  • Strains for homogenous induction by arabinose have been developed.
  • Subject to catabolite repression.
