No review score entered. Rice iGEM 2016

For the 2016 Team Rice project, we wanted to build a biosensor in E. coli with 2009 UCL London's mNarK promoter upstream of one of our photoacoustic contrast agents, so that fluorescence would increase in anaerobic conditions. Because of time constraints, we were only able to obtain characterization data for the construct that contains mNarK fused to iRFP670. Interestingly, our experiment indicated that the purging of oxygen was not effective in inducing transcription as originally expected.

Fig 1. Results of part assay (construct output iRFP670) in aerobic, and anaerobic conditions -- oxygen was purged with nitrogen gas. Results are averaged over 8 samples that ran simultaneously in a single experiment.
