As shown in <strong> Figure 1, </strong>the DNA samples for both the experiments with strong gene expression and the negative control show similar growth rate | As shown in <strong> Figure 1, </strong>the DNA samples for both the experiments with strong gene expression and the negative control show similar growth rate. The results indicated that the effect of overloading cells on growth rate was insignificant. However, all the samples showed an unexpected growth pattern as they did not have a sign of reaching to a steady state. The phenomenon might be due to insufficient number of OD measurements, further investigations might be needed. Also, after approximately 235 minutes, the growth rate of all the DNA samples suddenly increased and were not consistent with the previous rates. This might due to contamination of the DNA samples which promote the growth of the cells. | ||
