The GPD-GFP strain's profile did not vary much over the course of the induction regardless of the media it was originally cultured in. However, the GAL-GFP strain experienced a comparably notable shift in the numbers of cells expressing higher levels of GFP when the strain was shifted into SC-galactose media. This profile shift was stronger when the strain was originally cultured in SC-raffinose instead of YPD (dextrose) media, which is expected since dextrose is known to more strongly repress the GAL promoter.]]

Fluorescence Analysis of GFP expression as regulated by GPD and GAL Promoters

The GPD promoter (BBa_K517000), GAL promoter (BBa_K517001) and GAL1 promoter with Kozak sequence (BBa_J63006) as characterized by their regulation of the expression of a GFP reporter.

Fluorescence Analysis of GFP expression as regulated by GPD and GAL Promoters: S. cerevisiae yeast strains containing either the GPD-GFP, GAL-GFP or GAL+Kozak-GFP construct were cultured overnight at 30 degrees Celsius in either YPD (dextrose), SC-raffinose or SC-galactose media. These were diluted 1 in 10 in their respective media and grown for 3 hours at 30 degrees Celsius into log phase. The cells were then spun down and samples were collected at 0 hours. The remaining cells were resuspended in SC-galactose media and left to grow at 30 degrees Celsius for 3 hours. The cells were spun down again and samples were collected at this 3 hour time point. The samples were fixed in paraformaldehyde and visualized under a fluorescence microscope under the GFP and DIC settings. Acquired images were then color-combined with red representing DIC and green representing GFP.
