Experiments so far

  1. Calibration of the number of colonies obtained at different optical densities.
  2. Transformation of competent E.coli (strain K12Z1) cells with constructs.
  3. Induction of the construct pLac cfp

E.coli cells transformed with the construct pLac cfp were cultured for 10 hours in Luria Bertani medium containing 50mg/ml Ampicillin.

The cells were then transferred into a minimal medium (M9 medium) and were induced with the following concentrations of IPTG. A stock concentration of 100mM was used

Sample 100mM IPTG (ul) 1mM IPTG (ul) Inoculum volume from LB (ul) Volume of M9 added (ml)
pLac cfp (0 uM) - - 3 ul 3 ml
pLac cfp (1 uM) - 3 ul 3 ul 3 ml
pLac cfp (10 uM) - 30 ul 3 ul 3 ml
pLac cfp (50 uM) 1.5 ul - 3 ul 3 ml
pLac cfp (100 uM) 3 ul - 3 ul 3 ml
pLac cfp (1000 uM) 30 ul - 3 ul 3 ml
K12Z1 (Autoflourescence) - - 3 ul 3 ml

Cells were allowed to grow till the optical density was in the range of 0.05-0.1 (early exponential phase) and were imaged using a phase contrast microscope.

Results:

The mean fluorescence of CFP was seen to increase with increasing concentrations of the IPTG.
