Applications of BBa_I718002

  • We transformed DGAT gene in pBluescript SK minus vector (Stratagene) (ampicilline resistance and pLac promoter) (pKS::DGAT) into E.coli chemically competent (DH5alpha). We used Nile Red fluorescence dye in the medium (5µg/mL medium) to observe lipid inclusions in different conditions (0.4mM IPTG induction in LB medium with or without sodium oleate 2mM).

- Line 1 represents E.coli transformed with pKS::DGAT; and Line 2 the negative control (E.coli transformed by part B0015).
- Columns 1 and 2 are LB medium without sodium oleate supplementation; columns 3 and 4 are LB with sodium oleate supplementation (2mM).
- Columns 1 and 3 are without IPTG; columns 3 and 4 with IPTG induction (0.4mM).

We can observe lipid inclusion into E.coli transformed by pKS::DGAT with IPTG induction. With or without adding oleate we do not observe significant differences.

  • We could think that only dead cells are fluorescent (DGAT could kill the cells) but with cell death marker (green) we can see that cell death is not increased with DGAT.
