Verification of Not-Gate.

Usage and Biology

We transformed this biobrick into E. coli to regulate expression of genes. With the growing of bacteria, AHL accumulates. While the concentration of AHL reached the threshold value, the expression of NeuA, NeuB and TetR would be activated. Then TetR shut down the expression of amcyan in downstream.

Figure 1. The composite part we assembled.

Characterization

Blank E.coli BL21(DE3), engineered E.coli BL21(DE3) with this biobrick were cultured in microplate reader 37°C, 220 rpm for 10 hours and detected OD600, fluorescence intensity (458 nm excitation light, 489 nm emission light) every 10 minutes.

Figure 2. Changes of fluorescence intensity / OD600 over time.

The result shows that in the early growth stage, transformed bacteria expressed amcyan fluorescent protein continually. When the group density reached the threshold value, the expression of amcyan fluorescent protein began to be blocked up.
