Fluorescence can be observed in bacteria exposed to small concentrations, as 0.01µg/ml and 0.02µg/ml, but has low intensity. Fluorescence levels presents medium intensity in the higher concentration as consequence of cell death. Fluorescence intensity increased more than 480% in 0.2µg/ml concentrations, compared to fluorescence intensity from 1µg/ml, even in cell growth reduction, demonstrating its efficiency to induce mer promoter. | Fluorescence can be observed in bacteria exposed to small concentrations, as 0.01µg/ml and 0.02µg/ml, but has low intensity.

Applications of BBa_E0840
BBa_E0840 is commonly used to quantify the function of transcriptional control devices.

We made an inverted version of this part, BBa_K313007, with the use of PCR.
GFP in the reverse direction are especially useful as outputs of genetic switches in which the coding regions of GFP are inverted by the recombinases.

We used this biobrick part to build a Hg biosensor! This part worked so well! The graph represented on Figure 1 shows the fluorescence emitted by DH5-alpha transformed with BBa_K1355002 induced by different Hg concentrations in function of the time:
Figure 1. GFP fluorescence intensity in the four given times, at mercury chloride concentrations of 0 µg/ml, 0.01 µg/ml, 0.02 µg/ml, 0.1 µg/ml, 0.2 µg/ml, and 1 µg/ml. Fluorescence can be observed in bacteria exposed to small concentrations, as 0.01µg/ml and 0.02µg/ml, but has low intensity. Fluorescence levels presents medium intensity in the higher concentration as consequence of cell death. Fluorescence intensity increased more than 480% in 0.2µg/ml concentrations, compared to fluorescence intensity from 1µg/ml, even in cell growth reduction, demonstrating its efficiency to induce mer promoter.

Our miniprep, double and single digests worked as expected. We used this biobrick for building two of our parts (BBa_K182100 and 'BBa_K182101). We experienced very satisfactory cloning with high efficiency of transformants. The sequencing was correct. We discovered that all the bacteria containing this biobrick were releasing fluorescence even though there was no promoter upstream. The level of fluorescence observed was dependent on the plasmid copy number. We noticed that colonies displayed a visible, yellow-green colour, therefore selection was very easy. |

Characterization
Transcriptional control of GFP generator
All three transcriptional control devices were quantified using BBa_E0840.
We successfully designed, constructed and tested transcriptional control devices for constitutive, stationary phase dependent and exponential phase dependent protein production (A-C). To test and verify function of our three transcriptional control devices, we assembled each control device with the GFP protein generator BBa_E0840 and monitored the fluorescence of E. coli cultures with each device over time. For each device, we plot the change in fluorescence per unit time (normalized GFP synthesis rate) versus the cell density (OD600nm) (D). The constitutive transcriptional control device produced a high GFP synthesis rate irrespective of cell density. The stationary phase transcriptional control device produced a low initial GFP synthesis rate which increased with culture cell density. The exponential phase transcriptional control device produced an initially high GFP synthesis rate which dropped off as cell density increased. Data shown are averages of triplicate measurements of cultures grown from three individual colonies of each device. Error bars are the standard deviation of the three individual cultures.
