Interlab study

Introduction

Simultaneously of our projet, we participated at the Interlab Study 2015 the purpose of this study is to collect fluorescent data from three different constructions with the collaboration of different iGEM teams which came from around the world. We worked with E. coli as chassis, and the 3 constructions

  • BBa_J23101 + BBa_I13504
  • BBa_J23106 + BBa_I13504
  • BBa_J23117 + BBa_I13504

were cloned in the reference plasmid: PSB1C3 at 7th July. Controls used are the same constructions, without the BBa_I13504.

Preparation of the constructions

All constructs used were transformed into DH5α strain at 16th July. First of all, we rehydrated the different BioBricks and transform them into cells. After this step we used the standard assembly protocol we inserted BBa_I13504 as suffix. The different DNA fragments containing promoters were cut with SpeI and PstI enzymes, and BBa_I13504 with SpeI and XbaI. We ligateed them using T4 DNA Ligase. The third last wells correspond to our 3 constructs. We observe 2 bands at 2000bp and 900bp corresponding to the expected size for the digested fragments. The identity of our 3 constructs was confirmed by electrophoresis.

Preview

After taking our different colonies from the LB plate, we put them on UV lamp. The construction with BBa_J23101 had the strongest fluorescence, but the construction with BBa_J23117 shown the same fluorescence as the control.

Our bacteria were put in 5mL LB in 25mL glass tube. Kept at 37°C over night with 150rpm (position with angle in Unitron INFORS HT Incubation Shakers. In the morning we dilute our samples to obtain à 0,1 DO (it take one hour to pass all the control in the cytometer). For the first test, it appeared that bacteria cultures were overgrown, and we observed two times the DO max so we obtain a duplicate of our sample.

Protocols

Measuring

In first place we used a flux cytometer PARTEC Cyflow CUBE 6 All controls correspond to the exact constructions without BBa_I13504 The dark color curves correspond to the controls, the light ones tothe constructions tested. The blue one, with the other blue and the green with the other.

IMAGE 3/07: the different sample were analyzed at DOmax

IMAGE 30/07: We tested another biological replicate, with DO:0.6 and DOmax, The black picks are LB test.

We observe that promoter J23101 allows a 10 fold induction of fluorescence compared to J23106. Moreover J23117 has a curve response comparable to the control.

TECAN infinite 200 Pro multimode reader

Test to obtain the best excitation/emission We observed with flow cytometry results that the maximum of fluorescence is obtained with J23101+GFP in stationary phase, we used these conditions to setup the experiment.

IMAGE Excitation 465nm to obtain the best emission wavelength

IMAGE We fixed the emission wavelength at 520nm and process to obtain the best excitation wavelength

Fluorescence Top Reading Tableau

OD600#0,5 (between 0,4 and 0,55) 300 µl of each sample were taken out and put on a 96-well plate (flat transparent bottom, black wall) to measure fluorescence. IMAGE

We observe a pic of fluorescence with J23101+I13504, and a less one with J23106+I13504. But with the last one J23117+I13504 we observe a result like the negative control.

Results

We see that the construct J23101 is the strongest of our 3 promoters. J23106 showed a lowest fold induction response, and the J23117 showed the same response as the different controls. And this result was obtain with the two different methods (flux cytometer and microplate reader) When the electrophorese was done, we saw that the construct J23117+I13504 was insert in PSB1C3, but it appears that the activity of this promoter was really low or was null.

Tecan utilisation:

we use only LB without chloramphenicol and we suspect a contamination of our samples.

This time, we use LB and chloramphenicol because the plate has just a protection and we suspect a contamination of our samples. We depose in inch well 300µL We analyse the OD and fluorescence's variation (the excitation and emission wave lenght were choose after a scan in the process to obtain the best results)

For each sample we use 3 different colonies, we depose 2 times each colonies (12x8 plate).
