Characterization: Colicin activity test

After adjustment of the OD of the different cultures (killer, reference killer, prey), mixtures of different rations were done and transfered to a 96 well plate for ON measurement after following schemes

Results of the colicin activity test

081023-bar diagram ratios 3conc.png

The bar diagrams above show, that in case of a mixture ratio of 1:1 even for uninduced killer cells (i.e. a AHL concentration of 0 nM) a killing affect can be observed. In case of an AHL concentration of 250 pM, the lowest mixture ratio of killer:prey leading to an observable killing effect seems to be 1:50. That means, at an AHL concentration of 250 pM, one single killer cell is able to kill 50 prey cells. In case of an AHL concentration of 25 nM, this threshold rations rise up to killer:prey = 1:100. That means, for a higher induction level of the killer cells, the killing efficiency, i.e. the amount of released colicins, rises. For a mixture ration of killer:prey = 1:500 even at a AHL concentration of 25 nM no killing effect could be observed.

081023-P-K 100-1 growth curve.jpg

The figure above shows the GFP vs time and OD vs time curves for prey:killer and prey:reference respectively, each at a mixture ratio of 100:1. The figures for prey:killer (GFP as well as OD) shows, that there is an observable killing effect for the AHL concentrations of 750 pM and above. For the concentrations 500 pM and lower, no killing effect could be observed, that means, the GFP and the OD respectively rise in the same matter, than they do for the prey:reference curves. This is due to a continuous growth of the prey cells (expressing GFP) because of a lack of colicin in the media. According to this results, the threshold AHL concentration for an observable killing effect in the case of a prey:killer ratio of 100:1 seems to be between 500 pM and 750 pM (see dose-response curve for this prey-killer ratio below).

Sender activity test

Constitutive sender and amplifier ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15030 BBa_I15030]) activity test

  • over the day:
    • 7x Inoculation of 8 ml TB media with 160 µl from sender ONC
    • 7x Inoculation of 8 ml TB media with 160 µl from amplifier ONC
    • Inoculation of 7 ml TB media with 7 ml from GFP-receiver ONC
    • every hour (starting at t = 0 h until t = 7 h)
      • Measurement of optical density (OD) of ONC dilutions
      • Two different adequate dilutions of the diluted ONC were plate on LB Agar plates for cfu determination
      • Creation of supernatant of the measured probe by sterile filtration (storage of the supernatant at 4 °C)
  • evening: Measurement of the amount of produced AHL in the supernatants of the different timepoints
    • each: 400 µl of the respective supernatant + 400 µl fresh TB media + 200 µl T9002 cells
    • reference: T9002 cells + different concentrations of AHL
    • plate scheme:
