Experiments
Microscopy:
- pT luxI Cfp imaging done at various induction levels but OD was too high
- K12Z1 imaging done at various induction levels
- 1st Open loop trial Experiment DONE (Auto fluorescence, pT.luxI.C (at AI OD 2 and 0.2))
FACS:
- Auto fluorescence at inductions [0,1,10,25,50,100] done in triplets
- pT.luxI.C fluorescence at inductions [0,1,10,25,50,100] done in triplets
- Fluorescence due to M9 solution (Control)
Analysis
Microscopy:
pT LuxI.C: Subtract K12Z1 and plot CFP,YFP,RFP vs aTC concn
Red : K12Z1 Fluorescence values at different aTc induction levels
Green : pT.luxI.C Fluorescence values at different aTc induction levels
Blue : pT.luxI.C - K12Z1 Fluorescence values at different aTc induction levels
Linear and log space
Mean and Standard Error Plots at all induction levels

Inference
aTc being an antibiotic may have adverse effects on the cell at high concentrations such as 100 ng/ml. Growth rate is reduced and cells are killed. These factors may in turn affect the expression of the fluorescence gene which may lead to a drop in mean fluorescence intensity at high concentration levels.
