*Inoculate a culture from a single bacterial colony in LB growth medium containing appropriate antibiotic.
*Incubate at 37oC for 15 hours in a shaker.
*Remove cultures from shaker and dilute by a factor of 10, by adding 1ml of culture into 9ml of fresh LB medium.
*Incubate at 37oC for 2 hours in a shaker - '''<font color = green>This returns cells to exponential phase</font>'''
*We have a stock AHL solution of 1000uM
*Serial dilute to give final 1ml stock concentrations of 1000uM, 100uM, 10uM, 1uM, 100nM, 10nM, 1nM (check the -20oC Freezer as these may be already made up).
*Add the following to eight different labelled ependorf tubes (remember to add the AHL last):

*Test GFP output for known concentrations of AHL and generate a trasfer curve.

*We assume that GFP and AiiA have the same rate of transcription so the transfer curve can be use to characterize the sensing part of the predator.

Motivations

  • Test GFP output for known concentrations of AHL and generate a trasfer curve.
  • GFP is in place of the AiiA gene.
  • We assume that GFP and AiiA have the same rate of transcription so the transfer curve can be use to characterize the sensing part of the predator.
