<h3>BioBrick cloning</h3>
 
<p>To confirm the presence and correct size of the BioBricks we are submitting, all samples were run on an agarose gel. The constructs tested were ORF-314, the stf gene, the tfa construct, the P(Cat)-TetR construct, the TetR-controlled tfa circuit and the the cI-Cro circuit. We carried out a predictive model of the agarose gel electrophoresis using Snapgene before comparing our results to the prediction.</p>

<!--<p>The growth kinetics of E. coli DH5α had to be established if experiments involving infection with λ-bacteriophage and characterizing a potential signal in living cells. It was important for the study to also quantify the number of viable cells with relation to the optical density of the culture.</p>

<p>Growth kinetics was initially studied using 50 mL cultures. <b>Fig. 1</b> shows the growth kinetics of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α & derivative strains containing plasmids from the <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/InterLab_Study">InterLab</a> study.  The growth curve shows that the <i>E. coli</i> strain that contains the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device grows at a slower rate than the other strains investigated. At 220 minutes the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α P1 strain has a significantly lower OD<sub>600</sub> than the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α (P=0.023). <i>E. coli</i> DH5α remains significantly higher in OD<sub>600</sub> than <i>E. coli</i> DH5α with the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device (P=<0.001)<!---->. The only difference between the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α & <i>E. coli</i> DH5α positive control device is observed at 280 minutes into the growth curve (P=0.016) where the positive control has a higher OD<sub>600</sub>. The multiple comparison table showing P values can be viewed in <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/Results/Table_S1"><b>Table S1</b>.</a></p>.

<p><b><u>Fig. 2: Growth Curve of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α Strains Following Culture Optical Density of 395 nm</u></b>.</p>
+
<br>
+
<p>In order to investigate if there could be a point in the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α growth curve in which a signal from the GFP could be detected by absorbance, the growth curves were also conducted using the major absorption peak of GFP (wavelength 395 nm)<!--(REF!)-->. The growth curve data for the culture optical density is displayed in <b>Fig. 2</b>.</P>
+
<p>When comparing the data point of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α strains, there appears to be a significant increase in culture OD<sub>395</sub> in the <i>E. coli</i> cells with the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device (P<0.001). This apparent signal is only present between 60-100 minutes of growth. When comparing the positive control & <i>E. coli</i> DH5α1, there is no significant difference between the data sets at 60 or 100 minutes (P=1 for both time points). A small potential signal is observed from the oositive control <i>gfp</i> expression device at 280 minutes (P=0.012) & 300 minutes (P=0.006). This significance is lost after 300 minutes (P=0.262). See <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/Results/Table_S2"><b>Table S2</b></a> for more details. In order to verify these results & to test for the feasibility of scaling down to a 96-well microtitre plate assay, a 10 hour growth curve was conducted in a 96-well microtitre plate (see <b>Fig. 6-8</b>).</p>

<p><b><u>Fig. 3: Viable Count of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α After 60 mins</u></b>.</p>
 
<br>
 
<p>In order to assess how many viable cells correspond to different optical densities, a viable count was conducted on <i>E. coli</i> DH5α1 at 60 minutes (<b>Fig. 3</b> & <b>Table 1</b>), 175 minutes (<b>Fig. 5</b> & <b>Table 2</b>) & 225 minutes (data not shown due to high level of contamination).</p>
 
<p>Considering the OD<sub>600</sub> of the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α1 cultures at 60 mins, triplicate cultures were OD<sub>600</sub> = 0.029, 0.01 & 0.025<!--0.021 mean-->. The viable count of each of the cultures gave a mean of 2.57×10<sup>6</sup> cfu/mL (<b>Table 1</b>). It can therefore be concluded that an <i>E. coli</i> DH5α culture at an OD<sub>600</sub> = 0.021 corresponds to approximately 2.57×10<sup>6</sup> cfu/mL.</p>

<p>At 175 minutes into growth, the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α1 cultures had OD<sub>600</sub> of; 0.255, 0.216 & 0.262<!--mean = 0.244-->.

<p>All data analysis tables for the OD<sub>601</sub> growth curves are in; <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/table_S3">Table S3</a>, <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/table_S5">Table S5</a> & <a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Birkbeck/table_S6">Table S6</a> for 0-200 minutes, 220-420 minutes & 440-580 minutes respectively. Comparing the growth of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α containing P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device with the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α, there is no significant difference between the two cultures at 80 minutes (P=0.943), however, at 100 minutes there is a very highly significant difference between the 2 strains of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α (P<0.001). The OD<sub>601</sub> of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α containg the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device remains at a significantly lower that the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α untill 400 minutes (P=0.441).</p>

Comparing the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device with <i>E. coli</i> DH5α, at 0 minutes there is a highly significant difference between the two cultures fluorescence (P=0.005). This significance is observed until 100 minutes (P=0.427). There is an insignificant difference between the two cultures until 160 minutes (P<0.001). At 220 minutes into the growth curve, the fluorescence between P1<i>gfp</i> expression device is insignificant (P=0.277) with significance being observed at 240 minutes (P=0.001). The fluorescence of P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device remains higher than the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α culture.</p>
+
<p>Comparing the positive control <i>gfp</i> expression device with <i>E. coli</i> DH5α, at no point in the growth curve does the fluorescence of the positive control <i>gfp</i> expression device increase above that of the <i>E. coli</i> DH5α culture. Even at 580 minutes of culturing the positive control does not increase in fluorescence above the <i>E. coli</i> <i>E. coli</i> DH5α (P=0.677).</p>
+
<p>Comparing the P2-<i>gfp</i> expression device with <i>E. coli</i> DH5α, Initially there is no significant difference between the two cultures in fluorescence (P=1). There is a highly significant Increase in fluorescence from P2 at 180 minutes (P=0.007). At 200 minutes, there is no significant difference in fluorescence observed between P2 + <i>E. coli</i> DH5α (P=0.146). Insignificance of fluorescence between the two cultures is observed until 500 minutes of culturing (P=0.038). The fluorescence from the P2-<i>gfp</i> expression device remains significantly higher than <i>E. coli</i> DH5α throughout the rest of the growth curve.</p>

<p>Comparing the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device with the positive control <i>gfp</i> expression device there is a significantly higher fluorescence from 0 minutes (P=0.034) & 20 minutes (P=0.038). At 40 minutes of culturing there is no significant difference in fluorescence (P=0.164). At 60 minutes the P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device has a significantly higher fluorescence than the positive control (P=0.017). The significance is not observed at 80 minutes (P=0.849). There is no significant fluorescence from P1 compared to the positive control until 180 minutes (P=0.009). No significance is observed between the two promoters until 340 minutes where P1 has a higher fluorescence (P=0.019). The P1-<i>gfp</i> expression device has a higher fluorescence compared to the positive control at 360 minutes (P=0.024) and becomes insignificant at 380 minutes (P=0.245) where it remains insignificant for the result of the culturing time.</p>
+
<p>Comparing P2-<i>gfp</i> expression device with the positive control, there is no time point where the P2-<i>gfp</i> expression device has a statistically higher fluorescence than the positive control <i>gfp</i> expression device.</p>
+
<p>When comparing the data sets for the P1 & P2 <i>gfp</i> expression devices, there is no significant difference until 60 minutes (P=0.021).

BioBrick Cloning Results

Click here to see the results from testing the constructs ORF-314, stf gene, tfa construct, P(Cat)-TetR construct, TetR-controlled tfa circuit and cI-Cro circuit.


To confirm the presence and correct size of the BioBricks we are submitting, all samples were run on an agarose gel. The constructs tested were:

  • ORF-314
  • the stf gene
  • the tfa construct
  • the P(Cat)-TetR construct
  • the TetR-controlled tfa circuit
  • the cI-Cro circuit

All samples were initially digested with two of the four standard iGEM restriction enzymes (XbaI, EcoRI, SpeI and PstI) and expected fragment sizes calculated (Fig 1a and 2a). Success of the cloning was then determined by comparing actual band sizes to the predicted values (Fig 1b and 2b).
