PfliC:RBS-eCFP-terminator

eCFP BBa_K3505019uder control of a SCFAs inducible promoter pFLliC BBa_K2924016.

Fig.1:pFliC-eCFP-Terminator

Usage and Biology

This Trancriscription Unit (TU) is activated form SCFAs and more specifically from Butyrate. Exressing the eCFP protein for report gene, representing the activity of the promoter FliC.

Design Notes

The coding sequence was domesticated . We removed BsmBI ,BsaI , BtgZI, BpiI sites in order to be compatible with GoldenBraid and MoClo. The sequence is cloned in BBa_K3505008 and has overhangs compatible for Golden Braid cloning.

Verification of cloning

Experimental Use and Experinece

Fig.1: Adding acetate enabled the expression of eCFP, as pFliC is a SCFA-inducible promoter. We measure emission at 475nm, adding different concentrations of acetate. Our time-points were 0, 4, 8, and 20 hours, while we incubated each culture at 37oC and 210 rpm.

Fig.2:Different concentrations and time-points (0, 4, 8 and 20 hours) of acetate affect cell growth. As time passes there is an increase in the population of bacteria, but as there is an increase of the concentration of the acid, adding 20mM and 200mM acetate seems to prevent cell growth.

Fig.3:. Adding propionate enabled the expression of eCFP, as pFliC is a SCFA-inducible promoter. We measure emission at 475nm, adding increasing concentrations of propionate.. Our time-points were 0, 4, 8 and 20 hours, while we incubated each culture at 37oC and 210 rpm.

Fig.4:Different concentrations and time-points (0, 4, 8 , 20 hours) of acetate affect cell growth. As time passes there is an increase in the population of bacteria, but as there is an increase of the concentration of the acid, adding propionate seems to affect cell growth.
