E. Coli Fluorescing Red at Cold Temperature Senor

E. Coli Fluorescing Red at Cold

Temperature Senor Prm +I12007

.B0032

Team: E Cool ITina Khoury

Jeremy GerbigKerwin DunhamDerek 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.


Transform the bacteria.

Grow the transformed bacteria.

Isolate & check plasmids. Gel Electrophoresis

Protocol cont… Combining biobrick parts by digestion & ligation.


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
