2. Assay protocol
1. Prepare overnight cultures for the each sample in 3 mL of LB medium containing ampicillin (50 microg / mL), kanamycin (30 microg / mL) and glucose (final concentration of mass of glucose is 0.5 percent) at 37 ℃ for 12h.
2. Make a 1:100 dilution in 3 mL of fresh LB containing Amp, Kan and glucose (final concentration of mass of glucose is 0.5 percent).
3.Grow the cells at 37 ℃ until the observed OD590 reaches 0.4 (Fresh Culture)
4. After incubation, take 1 mL of the samples, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
5. Remove the supernatant by using P1000 pipette
6. Suspend the pellet in 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
7. Remove the supernatant by using P1000 pipette
8. Suspend the pellet in 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
9. Remove the supernatant by using P1000 pipette
10. Add 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and suspend.
11. Add 30 microL of suspension in the following medium.
① 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan, glucose (final concentration of mass of glucose is 0.5 percent) and 30 microL of sterile water
② 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 2 mM arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 20 microM)
③ 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 20 mM arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 200 microM)
④ 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 500 mM arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 5 mM)
12. Grow the samples at 37 ℃ for 6.5 hours.
13. Measure OD590 of all the samples every hour.
14. Start preparing the flow cytometer 1 h before the end of incubation.
15. After the incubation, take the samples, and centrifuge at 9000x g, 1min, 4℃.
16. Remove the supernatant by using P1000 pipette
17. Add 1 mL of filtered PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and suspend. (The ideal of OD is 0.3)
18. Dispense all of each suspension into a disposable tube through a cell strainer.
19. Use flow cytometer to measure the fluorescence of GFP. (We used BD FACSCaliburTM Flow Cytometer of Becton, Dickenson and Company.)
