3.Incubate the fresh cultures in 37°C until the OD590 reaches 0.3.

6.Start preparing the flow cytometer 1 h before the end of incubation.
7.Take 200 microL of the sample, and centrifuge at 9000x g, 1 min., 4°C.
8.Remove the supernatant by using P1000 pipette.
9.Add 1 mL of filtered PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and suspend.
10.Dispense all of each suspension into a disposable tube through a cell strainer.
11.Measure fluorescence intensity with a flow cytometer (We used BD FACSCaliburTM Flow Cytometer of Becton, Dickenson and Company).

Discussion

We measured the GFP expression with the four different promoters (Prhl : BBa_R0071, Prhl(RR) : BBa_K1529320, Prhl(LR) : BBa_K1529310, and Prhl(RL) : BBa_K1529300) by flow cytometer. Each promoter was tested in the presence and also in the absence of C4HSL (See Materials and Methods for detailed procedures).
Fig. 2. shows the fluorescence intensity detected by flow cytometer.
Fig. 3. is the extracted data which shows the comparison of the promoters: Prhl, Prhl(RR), and Prhl(RL).
As Fig. 3 shows, when induced by C4HSL, Prhl(RR) promoter showed higher maximum expression level and higher leak than the original Prhl promoter.
Although Prhl(RL) promoter had lower maximum expression level compared to Prhl(RR) promoter, it had the highest induced/not-induced ratio.
This means Prhl(RL) promoter has little leak.
Therefore, we can say that Prhl(RL) promoter is the best improved Prhl promoter due to the advantages of less leak and higher expression level.
