The Pitt iGEM 2015 team (Group: iGEM15_Pitt (2015-09-18)) characterized this part in NiCo21(DE3) cells (a BL21(DE3) derivative). This part exhibits significant leaky expression due to the lac operator present in high copy number. For applications where leaky expression is deleterious, this part does not work. However, it produces easily quantifiable GFP which can be useful in many applications. Finally, we did not expect RFP fluorescence in NiCo21(DE3) or DH5a cells, since neither of them have amber suppressors, and none was observed.

Five pH gradients were set and fluorescence intensity was measured in five media. In each group of experiments, we repeated six times. The relative fluorescence intensity was obtained by dividing the average fluorescence intensity of the six groups by the optical density. We take the relative fluorescence intensity as dependent variable and the pH value as independent variable, and get the broken line diagrams of six points. Three different broken lines were obtained according to the different experimental time. It can be seen that the trend of relative fluorescence intensity is basically the same at different time points. The relative fluorescence intensity tends to decrease in the region with pH less than 6; it is basically stable in the region with pH 6-8; and it tends to increase in the region with pH greater than 8. In our opinion, the expression effect may be better in acidic or alkaline environment; another possibility is that our experimental measurements deviate in the environment of pH 6-8.
