Interlab study - Aim & Results

The goal of the interlab study is to obtain GFP fluorescence data from the iGEM teams all around the world for about twenty constructions. This will permit to observe the result repeatability across technics, strains and teams.

There were two sub-parts in this study:
  • The mandatory one: obtain fluorescence data for three specific genetic devices expressing GFP and compare them.
  • The Extra Credit assignments: we choose to study the entire Anderson library of constitutive prokaryotic promoters (J23100 to J23119).
    This library corresponds to 19 constitutive promoters containing some nucleotide mutations on the -35 and the -10, as shown figure x. The idea is to compare the expression strength of promoters according to mutations, from the maximum amount of fluorescence data in order to have significant results.

The three required constructions shown various fluorescence intensity at OD 600 nm = 0.5, as shown on graph and bar chart below. As shown on corrected GFP fluorescence intensity according to OD 600 nm, the relationship between corrected GFP fluorescence and OD 600 nm is linear that corresponded to the expected profile for a constitutive promoter.

Theoritically constructions I20260 and J3101 were similar, constructions and alignments in sillico matched perfectly. The difference between these constructions lies on the assembly way. However we obtained, as some other teams, significant GFP expression difference.
