1. 1. 1. Uncolored part is [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002] alone.
2. Culture and observe results

Results

Green region: sender=LuxI, Red circular region: sender=Las I.

0 h

4 h (Lux I GFP detected)

8 h (Lux I GFP and Las I GFP detected)

LuxI GFP is detected at 4h following mixing while LasI GFP is detected after 8h, thus successfully demonstrating time-delay depending on the sender used.

Demo Experiment ~Receivers~

Varying bacterial numbers: method

1. Receiver(T9002) pre-incubation
   1. Receiver:[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002](BW)was

cultured in 2mL LB-Amp (37°C,12h)

1. 1. Pre-incubated Receiver([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002

BBa_T9002](BW))was plated so as to produce about 1000 colonies.

1. Sender(S03623) pre-incubation
   1. Sender:[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW) was

cultured in 50mL centrifuge tubes in 10mL of LB-Amp (37°C,12h)(2 tubes)

1. Sender Wash
   1. Centrifuged 2 tubes containing

1. 1. Added 10mL LB-Amp to each tube.
   2. Repeated wash twice.
2. Creating bacterial plates
   1. LB-Amp pre-cultured Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623

BBa_S03623](BW)) tube 2(100μl)was mixed with LB-Amp(9.9ml) and diluted 100-fold. 10ml of this solution was mixed with LB-Amp-agar(50°C)(10ml) and created Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW)) containing bacterial plate-2.

1. 1. LB-Amp pre-cultured Sender solution-2(10μl) and LB-Amp(9.99ml)

was mixed to dilute 1000-fold。10ml of this solution and LB-Amp-agar(50°C)(10ml) was mixed to create Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW)) containing bacterial plate-3

   1. Receiver([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002](BW))

colony was transfered to a nitrocellulose filter and placed on each of Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW)) containing bacterial plate (1~3) and Sender-absent negative control plate (t=0). Determined the time required for the colonies to fluoresce depending on the bacterial concentration (100 and 1000-fold dilution).

1. Method to detect fluorescence
   1. Plates cultured at 37°C were exposed to UV (312nm) light once

every 30 minutes to observe GFP fluorescence.
