In this set of experiments the promoter [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 pRhl] was tested for potential crosstalk. In the top left position we observe the induction of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 pRhl] by C4-HSL bound to the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0171 regulator RhlR]. The switching behaviour was observed at a C4-HSL concentration of 1 μM. In the case of 3OC12-HSL binding the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0171 RhlR regulator] and subsequently the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 promoter pRhl]insignificant crosstalk has been observed. Severe crosstalk was observed in the case of 3OC6-HSL binding the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0171 RhlR regulator] followed by induction of [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 pRhl]. The transition occurred at a concentration of the inducer molecule of 1 μM but compared to the reference curve a lower value of fluorescence per OD was observed (1000 a.u.). Another case of crosstalk with the [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 pRhl] was detected with 3OC12-HSL binding to the corresponding [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_C0179 LasR regulator] followed by inducing the promoter [http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0071 pRhl]. Here switching occurred at a concentration 1 nM of 3OC12-HSL and reached fluorescence per OD of 750 a.u.. This is approximately 0.5 fold the value of the fluorescence per OD shown by the reference curve indicated in green.
