We measured fluorescence by flow cytometry 3 hour after addition of 100nM 3OC6HSL to confirm R0061, which is an existing BioBrick promoter repressed by LuxR/3OC6HSL complex. ===Introduction=== We characterized the strength of this promoter which has never been done before in BioBrick in order to design new promoter base on this data. In the Artificial Cooperation System, we inserted chloramphenicol resistance coding sequence to this promoter. Thus, this promoter plays an important role in Artificial Cooperation System. ===Results=== The result is shown in fig.○. The expression of GFP with 3OC6HSL dropped to 1/3 comparing with the expression without 3OC6HSL. ===Conclusion=== We confirmed that 3OC6HSL repressed luxR repression promoter, R0061, as expected. ===Materials & Methods=== We constructed K395101 combining R0061 and K121013, which is a promoter-less gfp reporter (rbs-gfp-ter-ter) on pSB6A1. S03119 is a LuxR generator which is repressed by TetR. In this experiment, we don’t use TetR, therefore, S03119 functions a LuxR constitutive generator. The backbone of S03119 is pSB1A2, which is a high copy plasmid, so we changed the backbone from pSB1A2 to pSB3K3. We used a fusion of PlacI^q (I14032) to gfp (K121013) as a positive control and used promoterless gfp (K121013) as a negative control.
