We hae characterized this part transforming it into a BL21 strain. This strain carries insite the chromosome a T7 polymerase under the control of an IPTG inducible promoter. This strain is mostly used for protein expression for protein purification application.

Growth measurements

The measurements had been carried on in a TECAN i-control machine, at 37°C under transcient shaking, for 4h, for several colonies and several range of IPTG concentration. The OD 600nm and the fluorescence of the GFP (exc: 470nm / meas:515 nm) was measured every 5 min, and the ratio of the two was calculated.

The offset values for these curves was adjusted for better visualisation. The values given are in arbitrary units.

First we see an inflexion in the curve, that is due to the stong influence of the IPTG on the metabolism of the cells. Then, this loss it taken up and the bacteria start growing again. We see a clear increase of the fluorescence with the IPTG concentration, that is to say with the quantity of T7 polymerase in the cell
