Usage and Biology

Our sensor for chromium detection consists of chrB the repressor and the chromate specific promoter chrP. The promoter is regulated by the chrP, used for in vivo characterization , which binds Cr-ions. Behind the promoter is a sfGFP for detection of a fluorescence signal.

In vivo we could show that the addition of different concentrations of chromium have different effects to transcription of sfGFP.

e used this repressor for our chromium sensor. Originaly its from Ochrobactrum triti ci5bvl1. We codon optimized it for use in E.coli. It is essential for our chromium sensor device BBa_K1758310. In combination with BBa_K1758312,BBa_K1758314 This part is used as our in vivo cerates our chromium sensor.

Results

Our sensors were cultivated in the BioLector. Due to the accuracy of this device we could measure our sample in duplicates.

Adjusting the detection limit
Time course of the induction of a chromium biosensor with sfGFP for different chromium concentrations in vivo. The data are measured with BioLector and normalized on OD600. Error bars represent the standard deviation of two biological replicates.
Adjusting the detection limit
Fluorescence levels at three different stages of cultivation. Shown are levels after 60 minutes, 150 minutes and 650 minutes. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates.

Our data lead to the conclusion that in a cell based system it is possible to detect chromium. In contrast to our expectations with higher chromium concentrations we got lower fluorescence levels. These observations needed further investigation.
