After discussion, we chose to use B. subtilis 168and E. coli BL21as our host. B. subtilis 168 is a model for gram positive toggle switch.

Phyperspank is a constitutive promoter  for gram positive when the repressor protein, LacI is not present. When present, LacI bound to Phs, inhibiting the expression of the promoter.

PxylA is repressed by xylR. Xylose would bind to xylR and cause PxylA to express the protein downstream.<br>We express xylR under the effect of Phs and express LacI under the effect of PxylA. Thus, when one promoter is active, it repress the other promoter. When PxylA is active, it express SboA, the spermicidal protein. It also express LacI which inhibit the other promoter, Phs.
