fimB (wild-type)

Materials and Methods

1. Construction

All the samples were DH5α strain with antibiotic resistance to ampicillin and kanamycin.

(1) PBAD/araC_fimB(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + fim switch[default ON](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3)
(2) PBAD/araC_fimB(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + fim switch[default OFF](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3)
(3) pSB6A1 + fim switch[default ON](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …positive control 1
(4) pSB6A1 + fim switch[default OFF](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …negative control 1
(5) PBAD/araC_fimB(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + J23119_rbs_gfp(pSB3K3) …positive control 2
(6) PBAD/araC_fimB(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + rbs_gfp(pSB3K3) …negative control 2

2. Assay protocol

1. Prepare overnight cultures for 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 %) 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 %).
3. Incubate the cells at 37 ℃, shaking at 180 rpm until the observed OD590 reaches 0.4 (Fresh Culture).
4. After the incubation, take 1 mL of the samples, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
5. Remove the supernatant.
6. Add 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
7. Remove the supernatant.
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.
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 %) 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)
※ As for C and D, the suspension were added only in medium ① and ④.
12. Incubate the samples at 37 ℃, shaking at 180 rpm for 6.5 hours. (Measure OD590 of all the samples every hour.)
13. After the incubation, take the samples, and centrifuge at 9000x g, 1min, 4℃.
14. Remove the supernatant.
15. Add 1 mL of filtered PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and suspend. (The ideal of OD is 0.3)
16. Dispense all of each suspension into a disposable tube through a cell strainer.
17. Use flow cytometer to measure the fluorescence of GFP. (We used BD FACSCaliburTM Flow Cytometer of Becton, Dickenson and Company.)
