Part:BBa_K1412001
Endow the E.coli engineered strain(CL-1) the ability of chemotaxis
What it is
Composite part enables the chemotaxis of our engineering bacteria could be regulated by IPTG and L-Arabinose; pBAD and pLac promoters control the expression of Lac I and CheZ.
What it does
when L-Arabinose is added, pBAD promoter is activated, expressing Lac I, inhibiting the expression of CheZ. When IPTG is added, IPTG combines with Lac I, forming a complex, thus relief the inhibition and the CheZ express, make the ability of chemotaxis recover.
How to use it in their project
Use IPTG as an inducer and L-Arabinose as an inhibitor to take control of the chemotaxis of the engineering bacteria.
Experimental data
More information in linking page of the following pictures.
By adding chloramphenicol of different concentrations. Team XMU2014 found the best Chemotaxis as the concentration is 50μg/ml
Team XMU2014 set the concentration of chloramphenicol at 50ug/ml, by adding IPTG of different concentration levels, Team XMU2014 found that when the concentration of IPTG lies between 0.02 and 0.075,the chemotaxis diameter is better than the others.
Team XMU2014 set the concentration of chloramphenicol at 50μg/ml and the concentration of IPTG at 0.025mM, and found the minimum inhibition concentration of Ara is 0.2% and best inducing concentration is 0.02%.
Team XMU2014 set the concentration of IPTG and Ara on the plate at 0.025mM and 0.02% deliberately, then choose two points 0.5cm (up) [1cm (down)] away form each other on the plate. Team XMU2014 achieved the goal of command the CL-1 to form hyperbolic curve by doting 0.25mM IPTG（√） and 1% Ara （X）on the two points deliberately.
