Applications of BBa_K325909

[http://2012.igem.org/Team:Peking Peking 2012 iGEM team]

We successfully constructed light communication system using this part-luxbrick, and it was the very first time that cells were able to response to very dim bio-luminesence emitted from luxbrick. Also we made supplementary characterization of it.
See our project of light communication, please click [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Peking/Project/Communication here]

To improve the easy-of-use of luxbrick, we created a new part T7-Lux Operon by placing the coding sequence of luxCDABEG genes under T7 promoter, making it easy to be used in other systems. see the detail of T7-lux Operon please click here

Here are the brief results of our light communication system:
The photo below shows that our light sensing cells transformed with our luminesensor BBa_K819005 and corresponding promoter-GFP respond to bio-luminescence quite sensitively. The GFP expression is repressed by bio-luminescence, just like how it is repressed by blue LED light source, indicating that our luminesensor can detect bio-luminescence from luxbrick, enabling cell-cell communication through light.

this photo shows the light emitting cell transformed with luxbrick in our light-communication system.

Figure 2. TOP10 cells transformed with luxbrick from Cambridge 2010 iGEM team

Also we made a short video to show the time course of our light communication system.

We want to express our gratitude to Cambridge 2010 iGEM team for enabling us to realize cell-cell communication through light.

Growth curve of K325909

In 2012 iGEM competition we measured growth curve of K325909 in a E.coli strain dH5α.

The curve shows that induced by the arabinose, the bacteria growth

Check the RAW data of measurement.

We successfully constructed light communication system using this part-luxbrick, and we made supplementary characterization of it.
Spectrum
We measured the spectrum of luminescence produced by luxbrick. As shown in the spectrum below, the luminescence has a maximum intensity at 485nm.

Figure 1. TOP10 cells harboring the luxbrick were cultured in LB medium and induced with L-arabinose at 10^-3M. 10 hours after induction, the glowing cells were measured for spectrum using SHIMADZU RF5301PC Spectrofluorophotometer. (Peking iGEM 2012)

Time course-video
We showed the time course of light emitting process of TOP10 cells transformed with luxbrick in a more visualized way, which is a short video. In the movie, the cells begin to glow 9 hours after induction, and the entire visible glowing process lasts about 10 hours. (Peking iGEM 2012)
