Characterization
Figure 1/2 shows the trends of each bacteria in the LCBC-system. We got the data through the enzyme-labelled instrument and analyzed it to get the figure. The y-axis is the number of cells, and the x-axis is fluorescence intensity. There are two kinds of E.coli. One kind of E.coli carried sfGFP on the genome. The other kind of E.coli carried RFP on the genome. Cells were individually cultured in the LB medium for 12 hours before common inoculated in 12-well plates in LB medium in the first 13 hours. Figure 1 shows the different fluorescent intensity of E.coli under the light of 640-650 nm wavelength for the first 13 hours and the light of 460-465 nm wavelength for the next 12 hours.Figure2 shows the different fluorescent intensity of E.coli under the light of 640-650 nm wavelength for the first 13 hours and the light of 530-535 nm wavelength for the next 12 hours.
Figure 3/4 shows the change in the ratio of two bacteria in LCBC system. We used CLSM to observe and process data. The second row shows the ratio of the two bacteria which have been exposed to the light of 640-650 nm wavelength for 12 hours and then to the light of 460-465 nm wavelength for the same time. The third row shows the proportion of the two bacteria which have been under the light of 640-650 nm wavelength for 12 hours and the light of 530-535 nm wavelength for another 12 hours.

Overview
By referring to relevant literature, we found that a not gate (LacI and LacO) can be added on the basis of BBa_K3127998 to extend its application. Green fluorescent protein can be expressed under dark conditions, but not under light conditions. The extended function of BBa_K3127998 meets the requirements of our project this year, and we hope it can help iGEM teams in the future.
(Note: BBa_K3127998 is different from the repressor used in the references, but its function and principle are basically the same. CI is used instead of PhlF for convenience of description.)
We transformed the plasmid carrying BBa_K3127998 into E. coli DH5α, and then selected the correct transformants in the chloramphenicol resistance plate. Pick a single colony and inoculate it into a resistant medium for overnight culture. Pick a small amount of bacterial liquid with an inoculation needle and streak it on a resistant plate, and culture for 2 days under light (natural light) and dark conditions.
Using a fluorescent stereo microscope to observe a single colony, the results showed that the colony cultured under dark conditions had weak fluorescence, and the colony cultivated under light conditions had strong fluorescence, which was consistent with the characterization results of 2019 SDU-China. At the same time, we also proved that white light can be used instead of blue light to induce BBa_K3127998.
PBBA uses IPTG-induced promoter, and GFP expression levels are basically the same under light and dark conditions.
OptoLAC1, OptoLAC2 and OptoLAC3 were fused with different degradation tags after LacI, and we could obviously observe the difference in the expression level of GFP in light and darkness, and at the same time meet the target of high expression of target gene in darkness, and almost no expression of target gene in light.
