To test this device several setups for smell tests where made. In the graph shown here the samples were incubated for 24h at 37°C. Methyl salicylate (MS) has a wintergreen odor and can be detected by scent. 11 people smelled each sample independently of one another and answered if they could smell MS or not. For more details on the experimental setup and a discussion of the results see ADD LINK. Chorismate was added to test the salicylate production ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J45320 BBa_J45320]) and salicylate to test the wintergreen odor generator ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J45120 BBa_J45120]).

To test this device several setups for smell tests where made. In the graph shown here the samples were incubated for 24h at 37°C. Methyl salicylate (MS) has a wintergreen odor and can be detected by scent. 11 people smelled each sample independently of one another and answered if they could smell MS or not. For more details on the experimental setup and a discussion of the results see ADD LINK. Chorismate was added to test the salicylate production (BBa_J45320) and salicylate to test the wintergreen odor generator (BBa_J45120).

The KU Leuven iGEM 2013 team tried to perform a qPCR on this part. It was impossible to remove the original plasmid DNA, after RNA isolation, even after several attempts with different DNase treatments. This problem is probably due to the fact that this part was provided in a high copy number backbone. If you want to perform a qPCR yourself, we recommend you to clone this part in another backbone or in the genome itself.
