Summary

During this week the samples from the previous plate reader were retrieved and prepared for blotting against both GFP, and the 6-His - Tag of ChrB.

Then add different chromate salts and also probe the system with other substances, e.g. other heavy-metal salts.

After 16h of incubation at 37°C with agitation at 200rpm, each sample was subcultured into 5 ml of fresh, equally supplemented LB and cells were grown for 2 hours more. 1 ml of the subculture was then retrieved and pelleted. The pellet was resuspended in 1 ml PBS. 100 µl of these samples was mixed with 100 µl laemmli buffer, and the sample boiled for 10 min. The indicated volume of each sample was loaded on a SDS gel (12% acrylamide). pSB1C3, and pUniprom were included as a negative control, and P<i>manA-gfp</i> as a positive control. The blot against 6-His – ChrB was without success and is not shown. No chromate of any kind was added to the medium previous to this blot, hence no expression of GFP was expected.
