Plasmid pKs::DGAT expression in E. Coli

We tried to see TG with NR died on E. Coli cells transfected with pKs::DGAT, an IPTG-inducible promoter. We tried different growth media containing more or less oleate, that should in theory increase TG synthesis.

Results : we don't see the inductible effect of IPTG. We can think that :

  • Either the fluorescence without IPTG is due to a leak of the promoter
  • Either DGAT is not induce in presence of IPTG, and the fluorescence we see is only a background.
