Description

This page describes the relationship between Arabinose concentration in the medium with light output. We used a [http://www.bmglabtech.com/products/microplate-reader/instruments.cfm?product_id=2 FLUOstar OPTIMA] microplate reader to quantify the light output. Protocol and plate reader settings used are given below.

Data

Figure 1 - Transfer function of BBa_K325219. The data points represent the mean of 3 individual measurements. The corresponding error bars represent an interval of twice the standard deviation centred around the mean value.
