Caracterisation of BBa_K257023

Overnight cultures of BBa_K257023 were diluted 1/100 in LB or M9 medium supplemented with varing amont of FeNO3 and Na Citrate. Fluorescence and OD were assessed in a Tecan plate reader. Fluorescence divided by OD is ploted.

The low Fluo/OD at high FeNO3 concentration can be explained by the taxicity of FeNO3. Note that the best response to Na Citrate is obtained with 1mM FeNO3.

We've got a control on LB medium : fluorescence is weak. With a concentration of 30mM (Na citrate or Fe citrate), we have the same level of induction of pFec. We can explain this because of the relative toxicity of the Fe(NO3)3 we use to get Fe citrate. Besides, for this amount of citrate, we can expect Fe to be entirely chelated by the citrate. Nevertheless, we demonstrate the induction of Fec promoter.
