Results

Team-Chiba-demo-mihon.gif 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)wascultured in 2mL LB-Amp (37°C,12h)
    2. Pre-incubated Receiver([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002](BW))was plated so as to produce about 1000 colonies.
  2. Sender(S03623) pre-incubation
    1. Sender:[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW) was cultured in 50mL entrifuge tubes in 10mL of LB-Amp (37°C,12h)(2tubes)
  3. Sender Wash
    1. Centrifuged 2 tubes containing([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002](BW))at 20°C,3600rpm for 6min and discarded supernatant.
    2. Added 10mL LB-Amp to each tube.
    3. Repeated wash twice.
  4. Creating bacterial plates
    1. LB-Amp pre-cultured Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW)) tube 1 (10mL) was mixed with LB-Amp-agar(50°C)(10ml)to produce sender containing bacterialplate-1.
    2. 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.
    3. LB-Amp pre-cultured Sender solution-2(10μl) and LB-Amp(9.99ml)was mixed to dilute1000-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
  5. Lifted with nitrocellulose
    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).
  6. Method to detect fluorescence
    1. Plates cultured at 37°C were exposed to UV (312nm) light once every 30 minutes to observe GFP fluorescence.



Testing different receivers-methods

  1. Receiver&sender pre-culture

  4. Lifted with nitrocellulose
    1. Each Receiver colony was transfered to a nitrocellulose filter and placed on a Sender([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623](BW)) containing bacterial plate (1~3) or a sender-absent negative control plate(t=0) to observe how receiver type affects the time taken for the colonies to display visible fluorescence.
  5. Method to detect fluorescence
    1. Plates cultured at 37°C were exposed to UV (312nm) light once every 30 minutes to observe GFP fluorescence.
