Applications of BBa_K515107

Characterisation

This part (BBa_K515107) has been characterised in a number of aspects to test its properties as a reporter. The tests describe this part in terms of thermostability, photostability and photoconversion.

Thermostability

Photostability

Photoconversion

Photoconversion using confocal microscope

This part has been used as a reporter for observation of bacterial uptake into the roots of the plants. Due to its photoconvertible properties, it allows to monitor the metabolic activity of the bacterial cell once uptaken into the root. Dendra was converted from 486nm excitation and 505nm emission wavelength, to 558nm excitation and 575nm emission wavelength using single photon exposure. Conversion was achieved after exposure to 405nm wavelength using laser. Photoconversion was completed after about 15 rounds of bleaching at 50% laser intensity with the pinhole set to 3 airy units.
