Enviroment

This system will run in a Chemostat. This pice of equipment will keep the cell populations constant and thus keep the pareameters constant throught the course of the experiment. chemostat page

Motivations

  • To see whether oscillations are produced by measuring fluctuating levels of AHL that match our specifications:
  • Stable oscillations for greater than 10 cycles
  • High signal to noise ratio
  • Control over frequency and amplitude

Protocol

  • A formal protocol has not been written.
  • A suggested method was to aliquot the extracellular medium within the chemostat at certain time points and then measure the [AHL] using the T9002/J37016 assay

Results

  • the construct is not yet available
