Our Design

How CHOP works:
- Using the ΔcrcB E. coli strain, which can accumulate fluoride intracellularly
- The Riboswitch detects fluoride
- Fluoride activates the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase enzyme
- Which allows for the growth of bacteria on agar plates with the antibiotic chloramphenicol
