<!--<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><b><u>Fig. 1: Growth Curve of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α Strains Following Culture Optical Density of 600 nm</u></b>.</p>
 
<br>
 
<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-->. The viable count of each of the cultures gave a mean of 1.33×10<sup>8</sup> cfu/mL (<b>Table 2</b>). It can therefore be concluded that an <i>E. coli</i> DH5α culture at an OD<sub>600</sub> = 0.244 corresponds to approximately 1.33×10<sup>8</sup> cfu/mL. Considering the previous OD<sub>600</sub> (0.021), there is approximately a 10-fold increase in OD<sub>600</sub> which corresponds to nearly a 100-fold increase in viable cells.</p>

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).
