C6-3OXO-HSL -> β-galactosidase activity

This BioBrick is a composition of F2620 with I732019. It was conceived to characterize the construction F2620: check which concentration of its specific quorum sensing signal (C6-3-oxo-HSL) it's able to detect, and how long does it take the bacterium to produce an answer (in this case, the expression of lacZ).

Characterization

We tested this construction by two different methods. Firstly, we seeded the transformed bacteria on a plate with 80ul of X-Gal 1% and 1 ul of C6-3-oxo-HSL 10mg/ml, just to check that it worked. For the proper charaterization we resorted to an ONPG essay. Ortho-nitrophenyl-betha-galactoside is an artificial substrate that turns the liquid media yellow when it's hydrolized by the betha-galactosidase. We measured
