Introduction

Background

Many teachers and iGEM Headquarters says that reliable and repeatable measurement is a key component to all engineering disciplines. But to be honest it's difficult for laboratories all around the world to measure something in the same standard, so iGEM developing a robust measurement procedure for green fluorescent protein (GFP) every years to lead the team all over world could measure it.

It's the fourth year for iGEM to require teams which participate in finishing the interlab work. And GFP is a most widely used.

"All of the 2017 iGEM teams are invited and encouraged to participate in the Fourth International InterLaboratory Measurement Study in synthetic biology. We're hoping this study will get you excited for iGEM and help prepare you for the summer!" says by iGEM Headquarters. Actually, for us the interlab work not only to make fun but the more important part is that it can lead different laboratory to normalize their measure methods and machines so that we can use data from other lab easily, which will benefit our experiment and project a lot.

We all glad to participate in such significant international work with those friendly workmates all around world.

Discussion

At first time, when we decide to transform plasmid into E.coli, what interesting is that we find device 1 can't growth in 170ug/ml or in 90ug/ml chloramphenicol at the same time we know exactly this plasmid is a high express one. Based on figure 3, we find that the growth curve of E.coli (except device 1) are all similar to the front part of S-Curve of Logistic regression, but it was strange that the two colony of device 1 seems don't change obviously in bacterial density which is different with other colonies. We conjectured this phenomenon came from the extremely high expression quantity of GFP which already produce severe cytotoxicity. As a result the growth of device 1 is very slow and can't growth in high concentration of chloramphenicol.

In figure 4 and figure 5, we analyzed the relationship between fluorescence and Abs 600. Then find that the promotor of GFP in device 1 actually is strongest in 8 plasmid which as 5 times as positive control, device 2 and device 4. The expression of GFP in device 5 seems very low, only one-tenth of positive control.

Also, we find that if the sampling time overlong, the E.coli growth will be restrain because of long time of low-temperature stress, in this suitcase, the growth of bacteria density is very slow and unparalleled in two colonies.
