These fragments were joined together with [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23119 BBa_J23119] in a backbone with kanamycin resistance following the RDP Assembly method. This strong constitutive promotor from the Anderson Promoter Library was chosen because methanol conversion should be possible at every stage of bacterial growth. | These fragments were joined together with [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J23119 BBa_J23119] in a backbone with kanamycin resistance following the RDP Assembly method.

The overlapping region for the annealing of the parts were created by BsaI digest. |
For shorter parts like promoters, we ordered oligos that could be annealed to form short RDP parts. The fragments were mixed in an adequate ratio, and cooled down from 80 °C to room temperature in a linear gradient. | For shorter parts like promoters, we ordered oligos that could be annealed to form short RDP parts.
