Introduction

The group proposed to discuss and investigate the working range of the parts and devices of our system

• The proposed variables to investigate are:
  i) Concentration of activator
  ii) Time
  iii) Temperature

Characterization of Parts

We are interested in characterizing the parts

i) Lactose/IPTG sensitive Promoter pLac [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_R0010 BBa_R0010]

ii) Iron Sensitive Promoter pFe [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_I716014 BBa_I716014]

iii) plsrA-YFP
The characterization is carried out by ligating the desired promoter with the Green Fluorescence protein: [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0240 BBa_E02040]

• For the pLac BBa_R0010, it is already available in the form we desired in the registry as [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_J04430 BBa_J04430]

The FLx800™ Fluorescence Microplate Reader

The FLx800™ Fluorescence Microplate Reader was available for our use courtesy of Division of Bio-engineering lab. It was purchased from BioTek and for more information about the reader, you can refer to [http://www.biotek.com/products/product_detail.php?pid=117 The FLx800™ Fluorescence Microplate Reader]

The FLx800™ Fluorescence Microplate Reader has a computer software KCJunior that was installed in a computer adjacent to the reader for collection and processing of data from our samples.
