After transformation, the amberless E. coli cells containing both the synthetase/tRNA pair plasmid and the amber T7 RNAP/GFP plasmid were assayed for their ability to express GFP upon irradiation with 365 nm light in different intervals of time. The cells were irradiated for 0 minutes, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes in order to observe the temporal control of GFP expression. | After transformation, the amberless E. coli cells containing both the synthetase/tRNA pair plasmid and the amber T7 RNAP/GFP plasmid were assayed for their ability to express GFP upon irradiation with 365 nm light in different intervals of time.

This additional growth was necessary to allow the "decaged" T7 RNAP to polymerize mRNA transcripts of the GFP coding sequence. |
