Correlation between GFP expression and cell density

In order to know how the expression amount of signal molecules is related to cell density, we use GFP as the intermediate variable between the two variables. First, we determined the function of GFP according to the population of bacteria. Here, we have constructed the part with BioBricks R0040 and E0840. After ligating them together, we measured the amount of GFP expression and corresponding OD values and then worked out the correlation curve using Origin 7.5.

  • From the figures above, we can draw the conclusion that the expression of GFP generally takes on a linear function of OD when the OD600 is between 0.2 to 0.9.


Function Test

  • After successfully cloning GFP(LVA),we want to test its function.We ligate it with lac promoter R0010,a strong RBS B0034 and teminator B0015. We transform the plasmid with these parts to E.coli strain TOP10 and induce the GFP express with 0.1mM IPTG.

  • We have constructed some sequence with the purpose of testing whether the RNA polymerase can transcribe the target gene. For instance, we have built the following parts:
  1. R0040-E0840;
  2. R0040-B0034-C0070-E0840;
  3. R0040-B0034-K082004-E0840;
  4. R0071-E0840.


As expected, the plasmid containing the first three sequences can generate green fluerescence while the view field remains dark when the bacteria contain the fourth sequence.
  • The recombinase system is successfully constructed. The two pictures below show the results.The left one is Cre+GFP ,and the right one is lox71+GFP+lox66. They both have good performances.Co-transformation will be done next.
