BBa_25UQFFQ8 Basic part. N-terminal region of csgA, derived from Birnbaum, Daniel P et al., 2021. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25uqffq8
BBa_25SEZAYP Basic part. F14 linker, as described in Birnbaum, Daniel P et al., 2021. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25sezayp
BBa_259GV1IH Composite part. This is the csgA-sazCA fusion protein, derived from Birnbaum, Daniel P et al., 2021, and BBa_K4665120. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-259gv1ih
BBa_25A8Q07G Composite part. This is the entire csg-sazCA operon, which works to transport and secrete the curli fiber with the sazCA attached to csgA. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25a8q07g
BBa_25J7AMCD* Composite part. This is the pET_csg-sazCA_Amp plasmid we used for our experiments. It produces the csg-sazCA fusion protein. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25j7amcd
BBa_25A80I7T* Composite part. This is the pET_csg(H6)_Amp plasmid we used for our experiments. It produces curli fiber with a His-tag. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25a80i7t
BBa_25QC0VIK* Composite part. This is the curli and urease plasmid we designed for experimentation. https://registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25qc0vik

*These plasmid constructs were synthesized by a third party, but all experimentation was performed by the team.
