===Usage and Biology===
 
 
Whilst waiting for the parts designed for our project to be synthesised, we wanted to get into the lab and familiarise ourselves with the equipment and techniques. Our supervisor suggested we practised transforming, growing and expressing proteins in bacteria with fluorescent proteins. These are relatively non-toxic to bacteria and easy to visualise which allows for conformation of transformation and protein expression. During training on the imaging flow cytometer, we noticed some unusual results. These are presented below and are our bronze medal contribution to the iGEM registry.

mPapaya

Usage and Biology

mPapaya is a constitutively fluorescent protein with an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and an emission wavelength of 541 nm. mPapaya is derived from Zoanthus sp. The excitation and emission spectra are presented below.

Whilst waiting for the parts designed for our project to be synthesised, we wanted to get into the lab and familiarise ourselves with the equipment and techniques. Our supervisor suggested we practised transforming, growing and expressing proteins in bacteria with fluorescent proteins. These are relatively non-toxic to bacteria and easy to visualise which allows for conformation of transformation and protein expression. During training on the imaging flow cytometer, we noticed some unusual results. These are presented below and are our bronze medal contribution to the iGEM registry.

Expression of sfGFP (Pedelacq et al., 2006), mCherry (Shaner et al., 2004) and mPapaya1 (Hoi et al., 2013) was under control of the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100, combined with the strong RBS BBa_B0034 and terminated by the double terminator BBa_B0015. The gene was carried on a medium copy number plasmid with ampicillin resistance and transformed into E. coli DH5𝛼. 5 mL cultures were grown at 37 C, 200 rpm for 18 h. Cell morphology was investigated using an Image Stream Mark II (Amnis-Luminex Corp.) Imaging Flow Cytometer configured with Bright Field (white light), Side-Scatter (785 nm) and either GFP (excitation laser 488 nm, emission 533/55 nm), RFP (excitation laser 592 nm, emission 610/30 nm) or YFP (excitation laser 488 nm, emission 702/85 nm).

Imaging Flow Cytometry data was graphically analysed using specialised software [4]. The software can graphically represent the distribution of labelled cell populations, which can then be gated (selecting the region of cells to be analysed). Only the main population of cells were gated, with the outliers and speed beads used to calibrate the Flow Cytometer being disregarded.
