===Tecan Fluorescence Measurement===
 
-
 
-
Protocol used for characterization :
 
-
 
-
1. Grow 5ml of overnight cultures of DH5-alpha cells containing the plasmid with GFP-LVA.
 
-
 
-
2. Resuspend the overnight cultures in 50 ml of LB medium until the OD600 reaches about 0.6.
 
-
 
-
3. Quickly add 0.2 mM of IPTG to the medium and plate that into 96 well plate.
 
-
 
-
4.      To 96 well plate add 180 ul of LB + IPTG as a control, 180 ul of DH5-alpha cells not induced with IPTG, finally add 180 ul of DH5-alpha induced with IPTG. Carry out the aforementioned in duplicates.

-
5. Use the high flow cytometry machine Tecan  to measure the fluorescence every 15 minutes for 8 hours (excitation wv – 485 nm, emission wv- 535 nm )(including shaking = aeration of the cultures 2 minutes prior each measurement)
