Measurement of the OD600 of liquid culture

When the OD600 has reached 0.6 or more, the volume of culture has been divided into 3 erlenmeyers:

1 erlenmeyer without light exposition, 37°C
1 erlenmeyer with light exposition, 37°C
1 erlenmeyer with light exposition, room temperature
Measurement of the OD600 every hour

3 culture on 5have shown a bacterial development

Colony - A6

Colony - F1

All colonies exhibits same profile under same condition of light exposition and temperature. When the temperature is favorable for a bacterial development, the light activation of pDawn leading to the production of toxin is weak and do not impact a lot the growth of the population of bacteria. But at room temperature (RT°), the induction for protein synthesis is high enough to stop bacterial development

Two things lack to this experiment:

  • A longer time to measure if the population of bacteria could really decrease
  • A control at room temperature without light exposition to compare it evolution of OD 600 to the grey curve
