E. Coli Fluorescing Red at Cold Temperature Sensor Prm + I12007 . B0032 Team: E Cool I Tina Khoury Jeremy Gerbig Kerwin Dunham Derek Blanchard
Goals • Achieve • E. coli to fluoresce red at low temp (37°C) in presence of Cl or Cl (ts). • Find optimum temp where color change will be found. • ~ 30-37°C • Find optimum concentration of Cl. • Gene originally from coral. • Backup Plan • Use high temp parts to make E. coli fluoresce at high temp instead at low using a different gene. • Expressing high (green) and low (red) temp. genes in one sequence.

What’s new? • The complete complex Biobricks sequence that works! • Combine 3 parts • BBa_I12007 - Promoter • BBa_I13503 - RBS + Gene • BBa_B0015 - Double Terminator Promoter RBS + Gene Double Terminator
Alternate Part • May use double terminator because the first terminator has had problems working according to partsregistry.org • Possible double terminator is BBa_B0015 double terminator(B0010-B0012) 2010 Kit Plate 1 Well 23L, pSB1AK3. According to the website, this part works well.
Protocol • Isolate biobricks out of wells. • BBa_I12007 - Promoter • BBa_I13503 - RBS + Gene • BBa_B0015 - Double Terminator • Transform the bacteria. • Grow the transformed bacteria. • Isolate & check plasmids. • Gel Electrophoresis
Protocol cont… • Combining biobrick parts by digestion & ligation. • BBa_I12007 - Promoter • BBa_I13503 - RBS + Gene • BBa_B0015 - Double Terminator S X & P X & P
Protocol cont…. • Transform bacteria with new recombinant plasmid. • Observe results • Color change dependent on • Temp between ~ 30-37°C • Cl concentration ~ 1x – 10x
