Each sample was run according to manufacturers protocol.</p><h2>Result</h2><p>The results were received as a geometric mean(GM) of the four samples for each device via adjusting the fluorescence peak area to fit the peak When no clear peak could be observed the area was adjusted via a non-fluorescent cells peak, so that max 0.5% of non-fluorescence was included in the mean . The GM of all devices were normalized to J23101-B0032-GFPs value to convert the measurement to relative promoter strength(RPU). The data from the registry was also converted to RPU in order to compare the results. The standard deviations of the samples were calculated and included as error bars in the bar plot, figure 1.</p><img src=""><p><i>Figure 1: Promoter strengths in RPU. Blue bars are measured fluorescence, orange is registry values converted to RPU.</i></p><h2>Sequencing data</h2><p>Unfortunately there was no budget available for sequencing. Each clone 1 of the overnight culture used for the FACS-measurements was chosen to be plasmid prepped and then digested with EcoRI and PstI. 5µl of digestion together with 1µl of purple loading dye was run at 110V at gel electrophoresis, results shown in figure 2. Generuler 1kB from Thermo Fisher Scientific was used as a reference.</p><img src=""><p><i>Figure 2.187 and 188 show insert lengths at around 800bp. The expected length is construct( 758bp)+prefix(22bp)+suffix(21bp)=801bp for these constructs since they contain mtagBFP. All other constructs show bands at around 900-1000bp. The expected length for all GFP constructs is (919bp+prefix(22bp)+suffix(21bp)=962p. Note that construct 142 is provided in pSB3K3 which is why there is also a longer backbone-band.</i></p>'; |
