For artificially induction of our molecular detection constructs we simluated the presence of ''P. aeruginosa'' by use of IPTG or 3-oxo-C12 HSL. | For artificially induction of our molecular detection constructs we simluated the presence of ''P. aeruginosa'' by use of IPTG or 3-oxo-C12 HSL. | ||
- | A minimal pipetting volume was desired for induction, because initial experiments showed that diffusion of the inducers through the chip hindered formation of distinct spots on the chips. | + | A minimal pipetting volume was desired for induction, because initial experiments showed that diffusion of the inducers through the chip hindered formation of distinct spots on the chips. Due to the pipetts available the lowest volume we could pipett was limitted to 0.2 µL . |
Sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the [https://2014.igem.org/Team:Aachen/Parts#partsK1319042 K1319042] construct were able to detect IPTG concentrations down to 1 mM (0.2 µL), so were sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the REACh constructs. | Sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the [https://2014.igem.org/Team:Aachen/Parts#partsK1319042 K1319042] construct were able to detect IPTG concentrations down to 1 mM (0.2 µL), so were sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the REACh constructs. | ||
Sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K131026 K131026] construct were able to detect HSL concentrations down to 500 µg/mL (0.2 µL). Further more, detection of growing ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'' cells based on secreted HSLs was possible using the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K131026 K131026] construct. A detailed description including pictures of the experiments leading to the findings mentioned above can be found in the [https://2014.igem.org/Team:Aachen/Project/2D_Biosensor#biosensorachievements Achievements] section. | Sensor cells based on ''E. coli'' BL21, which incorporated the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K131026 K131026] construct were able to detect HSL concentrations down to 500 µg/mL (0.2 µL).
