Inoculations of GFP Constructs (58 tubes)

After making our constructs, we inoculated cultures from previous transformations that have successfully expressed the fluorescent protein.

1.P-Lambda-R--LacI--GFP (no deg tag)
  1. 3 tubes in each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 0 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  2. 3 tubes of each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 100 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  3. RESULTS:
2. P-Lambda-R--LacI--GFP (DAS)
  1. 3 tubes in each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 0 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  2. 3 tubes of each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 100 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  3. RESULTS:
3. P-Lambda-R--LacI--GFP (LAA)
  1. 3 tubes in each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 0 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  2. 3 tubes of each cell type (DH10, Keio Wild, Keio ClpP) induced with 100 uM IPTG (plain LB)
  3. RESULTS:
4. Plain LB, DH10 cells in plain LB, Keio Wild cells in plain LB, and Keio ClpP cells in plain LB 5. RESULTS:
  1. 10/17: The GFP constructs were brought to the plate reader at Georgia Tech. Although cells were grown in the liquid culture, they did not fluoresce.

Data from the Plate Reader


All of the GFP constructs as liquid cultures.

Troubleshooting for Lack of Proper Tube Labeling


We plated our constructs in all three cell types(DH10, Keio Wild, and Keio ClpP) on Kanamycin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, and Ampicillin. We were testing to verify what backbones the plasmids were in. As the image shows, our cells grew in most of the plates resistant to the specific antibiotics. We are in the process of figuring out how we obtained these results, but we hypothesized that our cells contain constructs with all the vectors with backbones resistant to those antibiotics.
