Preliminary Smell Test I (André)

Experiment description

  • We would like to know the amount of time it takes to produce the final volatile compound.
    • I added SA (2mM) and IA-OH (10mM) to 5mL pre-grown Indole KO cultures.
    • Cultures containing J45100 and J45220 were further incubated at room temperature (25C)
    • Cultures containing J45120, J45170, and J45200 were further incubated (with vigorous shaking) at 37C
    • After 240 min (4hrs), I continued the experiment with just the J45200 in order to determine the amount of time it took the cells to stop producing the scent (either because the cells have reached stationary phase, started dying, etc.)
J45100 J45120 J45170 J45200 J45220
15 min smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells faint smell of banana; smell of IA-OH lingering IA-OH greatly overpowering
30 min slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent very slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells noticeable smell of banana, stronger than at 15 min IA-OH greatly overpowering
60 min slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent noticeable mint smell; normal IKO-smell prevalent smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells powerful banana scent IA-OH greatly overpowering
90 min slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent noticeable mint smell; normal IKO-smell prevalent smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells strong banana scent IA-OH greatly overpowering
120 min slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent noticeable mint smell; normal IKO-smell prevalent smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells strong banana scent banana smell is faint; IA-OH smell prevalent
240 min very slight hint of mint; normal IKO-smell prevalent faint mint smell; normal IKO-smell prevalent smells pretty bad, i.e. like regular Indole KO cells weakened banana scent IA-OH smell prevalent

Conclusions

  • osmY is probably not correctly assembled in the BioBrick (J45140).
  • Some smell is obtained from cells that are incubated at 25C, indicating that ATF1 protein is present in a sufficient amount after overnight culturing.
  • Smell is obtained much more quickly when incubation is resumed at 37C as opposed to 25C. This is likely because the ATF1 protein present in the overnight culture is supplemented by increased protein production at 37C.
  • Because smell (banana) was detected after only 15 min of incubation at 37C (J45200), this means that sufficient IA-OH enters the cells within 15 minutes of addition.
