Long Description: We plan to develop a system that can sense a low level of nitrate in water by using a mutant of nitrate-inducible fnr coupled with the narG promoter. While normally only inducible under anaerobic conditions, a single silent mutation to convert leucine-28 to histidine can allow the fnr gene to operate under aerobic conditions. The fnr gene acts as a promoter for narG, which can send a PoPs-out signal to a GFP reporter. Previous studies have shown that the mutated form of fnr can sense nitrate at as low as 0.1 uM.

The promoter itself does not contain any BioBrick restriction enzyme sites, so this part is in accordance with BioBrick Standard 10.
