Application and characterisation of BBa_K325909


[http://2015.igem.org/Team:Glasgow Glasgow team, 2015] In order to optimise bioluminescence in E. coli we have rearranged lux operon and placed each gene under the B0032 ribosome binding site. To take the step further, we have designed RBS library (BBa_K17254301 - BBa_1725332) for each lux gene and assembled different libraries together to generate new optimised lux operon.

Applications of BBa_K325909

[http://2012.igem.org/Team:Peking Peking 2012 iGEM team]

We successfully constructed <b>light communication system</b> using this part-luxbrick, and it was <b>the very first time that cells were able to response to very dim bio-luminesence</b> emitted from luxbrick. Also we made supplementary characterization of it.
<b>See our project of light communication, please click [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Peking/Project/Communication here]</b>

To improve the easy-of-use of luxbrick, we created <b>a new part T7-Lux Operon</b> by placing the coding sequence of luxCDABEG genes under T7 promoter, making it easy to be used in other systems. see the detail of T7-lux Operon please click here

<b>Here are the brief results of our light communication system:</b>
The photo below shows that our light sensing cells transformed with our luminesensor BBa_K819005 and corresponding promoter-GFP respond to bio-luminescence quite sensitively. The GFP expression is repressed by bio-luminescence, just like how it is repressed by blue LED light source, indicating that our luminesensor can detect bio-luminescence from luxbrick, enabling cell-cell communication through light.

Figure 1. The treatment to each group (upper) and resulted responses of light sensing cell (lower)


This photo shows the light emitting cell transformed with luxbrick exploited in our light-communication system.

Figure 2. TOP10 cells transformed with luxbrick from Cambridge 2010 iGEM team


Also we made a short video to show the time course of our light communication system.

<b>See the detail of our light communicaiton system, please click [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Peking/Project/Communication here]</b>

We want to express our gratitude to Cambridge 2010 iGEM team for enabling us to realize cell-cell communication through light.

As a part of our project, we set out to investigate the conditions which affect the output of the LuxBrick. As we are using various elements from this Biobrick, we believe that is cornersome to know how we may increase its output by modifying the conditions that affect its behaviour.

We set out to understand diverse factors that could be influencing the total bioluminescence yield of the brick. Some of them have direct relation with some of the aspects of our project. These factors are: Glucose concentration, Growth state at time of induction, Cell mass and Temperature. You can read the fundamentations of the experiment and our interpretation of the results [http://2012.igem.org/Team:UC_Chile/Results/LuxBrick here]. Here you'll find detailed the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:UC_Chile2/Protocols#Characterization_Protocols characterization methods] we used in this experiment.

<P><B>Growth curve of K325909</B>

In 2012 iGEM competition we measured growth curve of K325909 in a E.coli strain dH5α. Growth curve of K325909.jpg

The curve shows that induced by the arabinose, the bacteria growth

We successfully constructed light communication system using this part-luxbrick, and we made supplementary characterization of it.
<b>Spectrum</b>
We measured the spectrum of luminescence produced by luxbrick. As shown in the spectrum below, the luminescence has a maximum intensity at 485nm.

Figure 1. TOP10 cells harboring the luxbrick were cultured in LB medium and induced with L-arabinose at 10-3M. 10 hours after induction, the glowing cells were measured for spectrum using SHIMADZU RF5301PC Spectrofluorophotometer. (Peking iGEM 2012)


<b>Time course-video</b>
We showed the time course of light emitting process of TOP10 cells transformed with luxbrick in a more visualized way, which is a short video. In the movie, the cells begin to glow 9 hours after induction, and the entire visible glowing process lasts about 10 hours. (<b>Peking iGEM 2012</b>)
