<p>Expression of ''mRFP'' (monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein) was used to analyze expression levels. To evaluate the effect of connecting pTEF1 to pSUC, two different versions were made: pTEF1-pSUC2-''mRFP'' and pSUC2-''mRFP''. Both constructs were integrated into the genome of ''S.cerevisiae'' CEN.PK2. The fluorescence of the clone with integrated pTEF1-pSUC2-''mRFP'' (TEFSUC) and the clone with pSUC2-''mRFP'' (SUC) was compared with wild type CEN.PK2 (WT).

Expression of mRFP (monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein) was used to analyze expression levels. To evaluate the effect of connecting pTEF1 to pSUC, two different versions were made: pTEF1-pSUC2-mRFP and pSUC2-mRFP. Both constructs were integrated into the genome of S.cerevisiae CEN.PK2. The fluorescence of the clone with integrated pTEF1-pSUC2-mRFP (TEFSUC) and the clone with pSUC2-mRFP (SUC) was compared with wild type CEN.PK2 (WT). The first sample of TEFSUC, SUC and WT was cultivated for 2 hours in YPD. The results from fluorescent microscopy are shown in figure 1-4.

2 hours of cultivation in YPD (after overnight preculture) showed no visible RFP fluorescence. A reason for this could be that 2 hours is not enough to give a significant drop in energy levels to relieve the repression of pSUC2.

A new sample of TEFSUC, SUC and WT was cultivated for 6 hours in YPD. The results from fluorescent microscopy are shown in figure 5-8.

Now there is a clear difference between TEFSUC and SUC. TEFSUC gives several highly fluorescent cells while SUC only shows slightly higher fluorescent compared to WT. This indicates that the repression of pSUC2 is reduced which allows expression of mRFP through the high expression promoter pTEF1.

Another fluorescence measurement was performed on the same sample after 23 hours of cultivation. The results from fluorescent microscopy are shown in figure 9-12.

This demonstrates that the concept of serially could work, but further evaluation could include measuring of fluorescent levels to determine quantitative difference in expression.
