- Results of ON measurements: The graph shows the GFP intensities over time for the different supernatants and one AI-1 concentration (c = 1 nM). The GFP induction is much lower for the supernatants in comparison to the AI-1. Other tests with lower AI-1 concentration have to be performed to determine the AI-1 production rate. http://213.133.109.83/igem/fileadmin/Results/kill_2/img/october/081008-sender_Activity_test_GFP_sup_besch_small.jpg
