=== <p>Stability assay</p> ===

<br>
−
<p>Stability assay through growth in liquid culture was performed with both inserts in the IDT supplied backbone. 1 mL of LB with ampicillin (25 ug/ml) was inoculated with one single colony in eppendorf tubes in 10 replicates for each part. In order to allow 10 generations of growth, a 1:1000 dilution was made of the overnight culture and incubated for 24 h. The colour comparison was done through visualization of centrifuged cultures and by analyzing the color intensity we could deduce the stability of the chromoprotein-encoding plasmid. </p>

This year iGEM Guelph was working with BBa_K2669002 as a reporter protein. When working with this chromoprotein in <i>E.coli</i> BL21(DE3) under the control of [[BBa_K3189001]], we found that stronger colour was produced at lower temperatures compared to higher temperatures. In Figure 2 pigment intensity was compared between two temperatures, 25°C and 37°C. It is clear form these images that at 25°C the colonies have a darker colour compared to colonies grown at 37°C. This is evidence that AmilCP produced from [[BBa_K2669002]] is more stable at 25°C compared to 37°C thus allowing it to build up in the cells longer before degradation resulting in darker pigmentation of the colonies.

<p> Already after 10 generations it was clearly visible that the color intensity was better distributed in the cells containing the plasmid with the IDT optimised AmilCP sequence, since all of the colonies had a large color intensity while the cells with the plasmid containing the original AmilCP sequence had a larger variation in color intensity. This indicates that the stability of the cells containing the plasmid with the IDT optimised AmilCP sequence is greater than those with the original AmilCP sequence.

Applications of BBa_K2669002


The construct BBa_K3189015 containing the chromoprotein amilCP (BBa_K2669002) under the control of BBa_K3189001. When the system is induced with 100 ng/mL of tetracycline, a dark blue colour is produced (Figure 4 and Figure 5). This shows BBa_K3189001 is able to function with different reporter proteins other than just gfp.

This year iGEM Guelph was working with BBa_K2669002 as a reporter protein. When working with this chromoprotein in E.coli BL21(DE3) under the control of BBa_K3189001, we found that stronger colour was produced at lower temperatures compared to higher temperatures. In Figure 2 pigment intensity was compared between two temperatures, 25°C and 37°C. It is clear form these images that at 25°C the colonies have a darker colour compared to colonies grown at 37°C. This is evidence that AmilCP produced from BBa_K2669002 is more stable at 25°C compared to 37°C thus allowing it to build up in the cells longer before degradation resulting in darker pigmentation of the colonies.
