| − | <p align="justify">We produced some Curdlan compared to non transformed strain of <i>DH5α</i>. We analyzed data with a student test to prove our results are significant. The theoretical concentration obtained in the Control condition corresponds to the non significant measure (background signal).

| |
| − | <p align="justify"> LB medium has an unknown glucose concentration contained in yeast extract whereas in M63 medium we have controled this parameter. We suppose that LB glucose concentration is higher than in the second medium. That will be explain the difference between these two conditions. </p>

| |
| − | <p align="justify"> Part 1. To verify <i>OsmY</i> promoter is only active in the stationary phase, we realized Curdlan quantitative analysis every hour of a culture in LB medium. The switch of temperature for the culture is linked to the transition in stationary phase.
| |
| − | <br>→ As we can see, Curdlan appears after the switch at 27°C. So, <i>OsmY</i> promoter is active in stationary phase only. <b>(Fig.7)<b></p>

| |
| − | <p align="justify">A substance is optically active or has a rotatory power when it deflects polarization plane of light from an <i>α</i> angle. This rotatory power is related to the presence of one or more asymmetric carbon within the molecule. All sugars (except dihydroxyacetone) are chiral molecules, so they all have a rotatory power. This property allows the polarimetric determination of sugars in pure solution thanks to the law of Biot. </p>
| |
| − | <p align="justify"> There are two types of optically active substances:
| |
| − | <br>✵Those which deflect polarization plane of light from an <i>α</i> angle to the right. The measured angle is positive and the substance is in dextrorotatory form.
| |
| − | <br>✵Those which deflect polarization plane of light from an <i>α</i> angle to the left. The measured angle is negative and the substance is in levorotatory form. </p>
