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. The values were obtained by integrating the light output obtained between 300 and 500 min after injection of D-Luciferin.
