'Method'
Aspartate synthesis
E.coli K12 transformed with CdP-R.B.S-AspA-d.Ter (BBa_K1342001) previous cultured with cadmium in LB medium (250μM) in 37℃ for 12hr at 120rpm. Adjust Cell mass (OD1.0) and therefor centrifuged 4000rpm for 20 min. Cell pellets ware activated in synthesis medium in 37℃ for 2hr at 120rpm/min.

SDS PAGE
・Preculture E.coli holding a plasmid containing a target gene or nomal E.coli.
・Measure OD600 0.6-1.0
・the expression of fusion protein by isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG) and Cd2+ soln.
・Transfer a sample a 200 µl in a microcentrifuge tube
・Centrifuge at 13,000rpm for a minute at 4℃
・Discard supernatant quantitative
・Store pellet at -20 °C
・Thaw pellet and resupend in Sample Buffer (100 µL 1xSample Buffer per samples)
・Heat for 5 minutes at 98 °C
・Centrifuge at 13,000rpm for 10 minutes at 4℃
・Transfer supernatant to a new microcentrifuge tube
・Analyze samples by SDS-PAGE.(Use 20 µL per samples)
Chemotaxis Assay Using Capillary
Chemotaxis of a bacterium such as E.coli is assayed by measuring the number of organisms attracted into a capillary tube containing an attractant.
Protocol
Preculture JM109 using tripton broth (Incubate 50rpm/min 30℃ 12hr) Check motility under the microscope.Diluting the E.coli culture 100 times. (tripton broth:E.coli culture＝20mL:200㎕)Incubate 50rpm/min 30℃ (until log phase)500㎕ into two tubes.Centrifuge two tubes in low speed. (25℃ 10min in 3400G)Throw away the clear top of liquid.Add wash medium(500㎕)Resuspending pellets softlyDo 5~9 againAdd chemotaxis medium(500㎕)Resuspending pellets softly.Check motility under the microscope.E.coli chemotaxis medium into chamber preparation(100㎕)Prepare the positive and negative control capillary.（1㎕ of 10mM aspartate chemotaxis medium and chemotaxis medium into capillary.）Two capillary into chamber preparation.90mim 30℃ incubationDilute the chemotaxis buffer in capillary`s liquid 100 times.Prating to LBmedium.37℃ 12h incubation.Counting the colony.Finish
