Interlab
This year the HZAU-China iGEM team participated in the interlab held by iGEM official. The determination of this year
is to obtain the transcription strength of a series parts by measuring fluorescence of these parts in DH5a E. coli.
Compared with the last year, this year we need to measure eight parts altogether, and this experiment not only provides
valuable data for the development of synthetic biology but also is a treasure experience for our lab.
Protocol & Results
All experiments conducted are under the guidance of official protocol. After experiments, we filled in form and sent
back the result to measurement at iGEM dot org intime. The detailed results are as following.
the measurement of calibration factor;
The first step of this year is to know the transformation efficiency of our plate reader, because we need to transform
our relative quantification into absolute quantification.
The procedure is as following. Add 100 uL of LUDOX solution into 3 wells of 96-well-plate and add 100 uL of sterilized water
into another 3 wells of 96-well-plate. Measuring the OD 600 by using Bio-Tek Synergy 2 plate reader.
Standard fluorescence measurement
To make our data feasible to be compared with data from other teams, we also measured the standard curve of fluorescence.
The procedure is as following. The supplied fluorescence powder are all suspended into 1mL PBS to final concentration
as 50uM, then series diluted into gradient concentration as 25uM, 12.5uM, 6.25uM,3.125uM until 50*2^-8 uM. By using
plate reader, a standard curve of fluorescence is obtained.
after communication with other teams, we attempted to preculture luciferase at 42°C for 4 hour to get a more stabilize
result, the result is as following
Compared with previous results, the latter experiment shows a more reliable data so the latter one is used to the following
experiment.
Cell measurement
At last we need to measure the promoter strength of supplied 8 parts. The OD 600 and fluorescence strength is obtained
at the same time to get data of mean fluorescence per cell.
The tested parts are as following:
- Positive Control (BBa_I20270)
- Negative Control (BBa_R0040)
- Test Device 1 (BBa_J364000)
- Test Device 2 (BBa_J364001)
- Test Device 3 (BBa_J364002)
- Test Device 4 (BBa_J364003)
- Test Device 5 (BBa_J364004)
- Test Device 6 (BBa_J364005)
