Part:BBa_K2598059

bmst1

This part is the coding sequence of bmst1 submitted by Paris Bettencourt 2014 (BBa_K1403009), which can catalyze production of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid. Methyl salicylate has a wintergreen smell. It laso produces floral smell (Methyl benzoate) from Benzoic acid.

Characterization

Figure 1 shows the relationship between the wavelength of light exposed on liquid medium and the intensity of BFP, GFP and RFP E. coli expressed from left figure to right figure respectively. We got the data through flow cytometer and analyzed it to get the figure. The y-axis is the number of cells, and the x-axis is fluorescence intensity. And every color is E. coli that grows for 8 hours under the light of the corresponding wavelength. We can see E. coli has the highest blue fluorescence expression under blue light from the left graph. And We can also see E. coli has the highest green and red fluorescence expression under green light and right light from the middle and right graph respectively. So this figure proves that our system and our parts can work well.

Characterization

Figure 2 shows the relationship between fluorescence intensity and excitation wavelength. The x-axis is wavelength of 10h illumination. The solid medium gradually emerged and the y-axis is RGB figure of fluorescence in illuminated solid medium. This curve illustrates how our system responses to different excitation wavelength, which perfectly meets our expectation. So this figure proves that our system and our parts can work well.

Characterization

Figure 3 shows colors we got from the solid medium exposed under light, in which E. coli producing fluorescent protein grows. When E .coli producing fluorescent protein are exposed under uniform light of single wavelength, the solid medium gradually emerged corresponding colors. And using color picker, we get many pure colors with predominant continuity.
