Genetic toggle switch for PezT expression

Our GroEL-PezT biobrick shall enable heat-inducible cell lysis. Conducting heat induction would release our miRNA2911 production which was triggered by light before. One major problem here is an activation of the GroEL promotor and thus PetZ caused cell lysis at normal temperature; therefore not reaching sufficient miRNA product. To stabilise our cell lysis event, we can employ a gene regulatory network called the genetic toggle switch [1]. It consists of a double negative feedback loop leading to a bistability network with memory function. This means the following:
