            <p>1. We constructed and submitted our Detection circuit and Safety circuit that serve as a glucose sensor and function the suicide system.</p>

            <p>3. We characterized the relation between the glucose concentration and RFP fluorescent intensity; furthermore, the <a href="/Team:NCKU_Tainan/Model_Fitting_Theory">prediction formula</a> to quantify the amount of glucose in a urine glucose level was derived.</p>

            <p>5.We built <a href="/Team:NCKU_Tainan/Hardware">functional prototypes</a> to let our U.coli work in a real world condition</p>

 

            <div class="title-line" id="Detect">Glucose Detection</div>

 

            <p>The goals for our Detection circuit are to detect and indicate the presence of urine glucose with promoter PI. To measure the precise level of urine glucose, we need to look at the fluorescence intensity of RFP.</p>

 

 

            <p><b>Figure 1:</b> We induce our U.coli detection circuit with urine samples containing different glucose level and measure the fluorescent intensity kinetically at different timepoints.</p>

 

            <h5>Characterization of glucose induced RFP expression</h5>

            <p>Within the preliminary test, we induced our U.coli to function our Detection circuit. After 12 hours, the glucose concentrations are 0,5,15,30,60 mM/L </p>

 

            <p><b>Figure 2:</b> PI_RBS_RFP_TT transformed in <i>E.coli</i> BL21 DE3. After 12-hour induction with final glucose concentration of : 0,5,15,30,60 mM/L, the fluorescence is observed under excitation ray of 470 nm and with the filter “LEE filter 019”</p>

 

            <p>To further quantify the fluorescent intensity, and simultaneously the growth curve of U.coli, we used final glucose concentration of: 0,5,15,30 mM/L to induce our U.coli for 8 hours with total volume of 20 ml, and measure the fluorescent intensity at excitation/emission wavelength 562nm/599nm and OD600 for growth curve.</p>

 

 

            <p><b>Figure 3:</b> above is the growth curve and fluorescent intensity, the experiments were done in <i>E.coli</i> BL21 DE3 in modified M9 medium, the cell were cultured in modified M9 medium for 2 hours and  glucose of final concentration: 0, 5, 15, 30 mM/L were add to induce the expression of RFP. The fluorescent intensity were measured every 2 hours, after total time exceeds 10 hours, experiments with 5, 15, 30 mM/L glucose  has 2~4 fold induction compared to control 〈0 mM/L〉. The presence of glucose also affects the growth curve of our U.coli compared to control, but the growth curves of 5, 15, 30 mM/L does not show significant difference.</p>

 

            <h5>Proof of Concept: Differentiating diabetic urine with normal</h5>

            <p>To proof that our U.coli serves the purpose to differentiate between diabetic and normal urine samples, we calculated the average prediction interval for fluorescent intensity on each glucose concentration. The upper control limit is considered as the threshold of “positive”. When the fluorescent intensity in a urine sample surpasses the upper control limit, we can refer to the urine sample as diabetic urine. Furthermore, the diabetic test on U-KNOW has sensitivety : / spreciticity : </p>

 

            <p><b>Figure 4:</b> the 95% prediction interval of glucose positive 〈5mM/L〉urine sample 〈green〉and glucose negative〈0.1mM/L〉 urine sample〈red〉，the two intervals can be separated after T&gt; 101 mins. To verify the function, by applying the upper limit of the 95% prediction interval of glucose negative urine sample〈red〉as the “diabetic threshold“, we performed a test to clarify whether our U.coli can differentiate diabetes from control. At time T= 101mis with n= 84,  our result shows sensitivity= 95% and if we delay the testing time to T=120mins, the sensitivity will be 100%.〈n=84〉, which proved that our U.coli do Differentiate diabetic urine with norma</p>

 

            <p>To further elaborate our proof of concept, we have a <a href="/Team:NCKU_Tainan/Model_Statistics_Analysis">statistical calculation</a></p>

 

            <h5>Proof of Concept: Prediction and Quantifying the amount of urine glucose</h5>

            <p>After successfully differentiating diabetic urine sample with control, we aim to measure the amount of glucose in urine sample. Thus, we used final glucose concentration of: 0,1,3,5,15,30,45 mM/L to induce our U.coli for 12 hours in 96 well and measure the fluorescent intensity at excitation/emission wavelength 562nm/599nm, the difference of fluorescent intensity between each group were significant at T (time) = 8hr.

            </p>

             <p><b>Figure 5:</b> fluorescence intensity with 95% confidence interval after 8 hour induction with final glucose concentration 0,1,3 5,15,30,45 mM/L, all differences between each group shows statistical significance with P &lt; 0.05, proving that out U.coli do differentiate urine sample containing various amount of glucose, ranging from 0~45 mM/L.</p>

               <p>Based on the results above, we derived a <a href="/Team:NCKU_Tainan/Model_Fitting_Theory">prediction formula</a>, to calculate the urine glucose concentration 〈C〉</p>

             <img src="/wiki/images/3/36/T--NCKU_Tainan--project-modeling-fitting-image5.jpg" alt="fig6 result">

               <p>To verify the formula, we performed a test to clarify whether our U.coli can predict and quantify the concentration of urine glucose. </p>

               <p>Reuslt: with n=63, the average recovery rate is 104%〈95% ~114%, which proved that our U.coli do predict and quantify the concentration of urine glucose</p>

 

 

 

 

 

              <p>Promoter pBAD, is activated by arabinose and repressed by glucose. When activated the downstream lysis gene, it can lyse and kill the U.coli. In a preliminary safety circuit test, we induced our U.coli 3 hours with the following condition and kinetically measured the OD 600 as the indicator of bacteria concentration</p>

 

 

 

              <p><b>Figure 8:</b> pBAD-RBS-lysis-TT transformed in <i>E.coli</i> BL21 DE3, was culture for 6 hr and transfferd〈1%〉to modified M9 meduim containing different concentration of arabionse and glucose, and OD600 was measured kinetically by 96well plate reader. Compared to control, arabinose significantly inhibited the growth of U.coli after time T&gt;50 mins. In addition, when glucose and arabinose are both present, glucose will repress the growth inhibitory effect of arabinose, making the cells continue to growth. Still, compared to control, the growth rate is slightly decreased by arabinose, even with the presence of glucose.</p>

               <p>To further validate the effect of our Safety circuit, we performed a CFU assay.
