  • We have find any colonies for I763015 + J04031;
  • Miniprep for:

- I7633005 + J04031;

-S0100 + J04031;

-I763028.

  • Control digestion for I763028.
  • M9 Medium and lactose stocks preparation.
  • Testing our devices

We take 5 ml of LB medium in which we put a colony of bacteria which contain the Ptet-LacI Plac-cI-LacY-GFP plasmid. We examine a drop of it using our fluorescence microscopy setup. In these conditions, the bacteria doesn’t beam fluorescence. Starting from this moment, we add into the LB medium 1mM of IPTG every 30 minutes until it reaches 4mM , checking each time for any possible fluorescence, with negative results. We then try another option: after diluting 1ml of the original solution with 4ml of LB, we add IPTG until this solution reaches 10 mM, then 20 mM and finally 40 mM. Despite that, no fluorescence is visible. For this reason we then test single parts of the plasmid. We take three populations of I763028 bacteria and one of Plac-cI-GFP bacteria. We add 1mM of IPTG to every population to check for fluorescence. We see the three I763028 populations produce a photomultiplier output between 5.55 and 5.61 Volts, while the Plac-cI-GFP population results more fluorescent giving a 5.91 Volts output. Every time we check for fluorescence, we use, as said, not only the photo camera but also the photomultiplier. Every measurement shows a 0.18 Volts offset due to environment light and a 1.30 Volts offset due to the excitation light at 501 nm. Since we know GFP gives a maximum of fluorescence when excited at 501 nm, we decide to go on with this wavelength despite the offset (a change of excitation wavelength reduces both the offset and the signal).
