Infector Detector: Testing

Aims of Testing

To test and characterise the key characteristics of our system such as the sensitivity of the system to AHL. To do this, we induce the system with known concentrations of AHL input and measure the fluorescence output. Then using a calibration curve the fluorescence was converted into the number of GFPmut3b molecules synthesised, click on the following link for an explaination about how to use calibration curve use the calibration curve].

Results

The results show us the following: The output of GFPmut3b increases with input of AHL The system is sensitive to a range of 5-1000nM AHL The GFPmut3b molecules synthesis stops at ~300minutes. This could be due to steady state or due to no synthesis of GFPmut3b. It is known not to be steady state because the degradation experiment(link) proved degradation is negligible. Interestingly this time is independent of the GFPmut3b molecules produced, showing that the LuxR under the control of pTet is the major source of energy consumption. This highlights the advantages of using the construct 2 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J37032 pLux-GFPmut3b] that does not have the energetic burden of producing LuxR << Implementation | Testing | F2620 Comparison >>
