We take 5 ml of LB culture ground in which we put a colony of bacteria which contain Ptet-LacI Plac-cI-LacY-GFP plasmid. We examine a drop of it using our fluorescence microscopy setup. In these conditions, the bacteria don’t beam fluorescence. Starting from this moment, we put into the culture ground 1 mM of IPTG every 30 minutes until it is 4 millimolar, checking each time any eventual fluorescence, with negative results. After diluting 1 ml of the previous one with 4 ml of LB, we add IPTG until 1 ml of our new solution is 10 mM, then 20 mM and finally 40 mM. Despite that, no fluorescence is visible. Every time we checked for fluorescence, we used not only the photo camera but also the photomultiplier; every measurement showed a 0.16-0.18 volts offset, despite the bacteria being non-fluorescent: at least, we regulated that offset!
