Materials and Methods

Construction

All the samples were DH5alpha strain with antibiotic resistance to ampicillin and kanamycin.

(1). PBAD/araC_fimE(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + fim switch[default ON](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3)
(2). PBAD/araC_fimE(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + fim switch[default OFF](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3)
(3). pSB6A1 + fim switch[default ON](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …positive control 1
(4). pSB6A1 + fim switch[default OFF](wild-type)_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …negative control 1
(5). PBAD/araC_fimE(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + J23119_rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …positive control 2
(6). PBAD/araC_fimE(wild-type) (pSB6A1) + rbs_gfp (pSB3K3) …negative control 2

Assay protocol

1. Prepare overnight cultures for each sample in 3 mL of LB medium containing ampicillin (50 microg / mL), kanamycin (30 microg / mL)　and glucose (final concentration of mass of glucose is 1.0 %) at 37 ℃ for 12h.
2. Make a 1:100 dilution in 3 mL of fresh LB containing Amp, Kan and glucose (final concentration of mass of glucose is 1.0 %).
3. Incubate the cells at 37 ℃, shaking at 180 rpm until the observed OD590 reaches 0.4 (Fresh Culture).
4. After the incubation, take 1 mL of the samples, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
5. Remove the supernatant.
6. Suspend the pellet in 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
7. Remove the supernatant.
8. Suspend the pellet in 1 mL of LB containing Amp and Kan, and centrifuge at 5000x g, 1 min, 25 ℃
9. Remove the supernatant.
10. Suspend the pellet in 1mL of LB containing Amp and Kan.
11. Add 30 microL of suspension in the following medium.
① 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of sterile water
② 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 500 microM　arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 5 microM)
③ 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 1 mM arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 10 microM)
④ 3 mL of LB containing Amp, Kan and 30 microL of 2 mM arabinose (final concentration of arabinose is 20 microM)
※ As for (3) and (4), the suspension were added only in medium ① and ④.
12. Incubate the samples at 37 ℃ for 6 hours, shaking at 180 rpm. (Measure the OD590 of all the samples every hour.)
13. After the incubation, take the samples, and centrifuge at 9000x g, 1min, 4℃.
14. Remove the supernatant.
15. Add 1 mL of filtered PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and suspend. (The ideal of OD is 0.3)
16. Dispense all of each suspension into a disposable tube through a cell strainer.
17. Use flow cytometer to measure the fluorescence of GFP. (We used BD FACSCaliburTM Flow Cytometer of Becton, Dickenson and Company.)

Supplemental experiments

Assay protocol

1. After the assay of “Arabinose dependent FimE expression”, miniprep cell culture ((1)-①, (1)-③, (2)-①　and　(2)-③) of leftover as here.
(https://parts.igem.org/Help:Protocols/Miniprep) 2. Turn on water bath to 42℃.
3. Take competent DH5alpha strain from -80℃ freezer and leave at rest on ice.
4. Add 3 µl of each plasmids in a 1.5 ml tube.
5. Put 25 µl competent cell into each 1.5 ml tubes with plasmid.
6. Incubate on ice for 15 min.
7. Put tubes with DNA and competent cells into water bath at 42℃ for 30 seconds.
8. Put tubes back on ice for 2 minutes.
9. Add 125 µl of SOC medium. Incubate tubes for 30 minutes at 37℃.
10. Make a 1:5 dilution in 150 µl of fresh SOC medium.
11. Spread about 100 µl of the resulting culture of LB plate containing kanamycin.
12. Incubate LB plate for 14-15 hours at 37℃.
13. Set the plate reader to measure GFP.
14. Scan the each plates with the plate reader. (We used FujiFilm FLA-5100 Fluorescent Image Analyzer from FUJIFilm Life Science.)
15. Analyze the scanning data by changing the scale type (Bezier) and adjusting the range. (We analyzed by using the software, Multi Gauge ver. 2.0 from FUJIFilm Life Science.)
16. Counted out the all colonies and those with fluorescence.
17. Prepare three overnight cultures for each sample in 3 mL of LB medium containing kanamycin (30 microg / mL) shaking at 180 rpm for 12h.
18. Miniprep each samples and ask DNA sequencing of each samples for Biomaterial Analysis Center, Technical Department.
