| - | Our results from the experiments with semi-solid agar confirm that the biobrick does indeed couple itself to the bacterial chemotaxis pathway and modify the bacterial motility pattern by modifying the tumbling frequency. For further information on this conclusion see [https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-p#K343007| Characterization - K343007 - 1. Growth of bacterial culture on semi-solid agar plates (Experiment 1 and 2)]<br> | + | Our results from the experiments with semi-solid agar confirms that the bacteria carrying a plasmid with the biobrick have a altered motility, most likely by an alteration in tumbling frequency, when exposed to blue light compared to the wild type MG1655.<br> |

| - | The videomicroscopy indicates that blue light with a wavelength around 500nm leads to CheA's autophosphorylation being downregulated. This means that the bacterial tumbling frequency gets reduced and the bacteria will spend an increased time in the "run" mode of propulsion. This means that the bacteria will travel further in a certain amount of time, compared to wildtype bacteria. More details can be found here [https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/project-p#K343007| Characterization - K343007 - 2.

| - | The growth assay showed no significant difference between the wild type and the cells transformed with the biobrick.
| + | Computeranalysis of videos recorded of swimming baceria containing this part, indicate that these bacteria have a tendency to swim towards the source of light, when exposed to a light gradient. A trackdiagram was constructed from the gathered data, and swimming bacteria tended to orientate their movement in the direction of the light source. This could mean that blue light acts as an attractant stimulus on the SopII-HtrII-Tar complex. <br><br> |
| - | Regarding the stability of the plasmid, we carried out a stability assay according to protocol [https://2010.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark/protocols#SA_1.1|SA1.1] There was no observeable difference between the cultures plated out on plates with and without antibiotics. From this we conclude that the plasmid does not significantly increase the stress on the bacteria, since they don't seem to lose the plasmid after 5 days. Since this did not happen the plasmid seems to be stable. For a closer look at the results look here:

Biobrick assembly and sequence
We succesfully assembled the biobrick [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K343007 K343007], which consists of the TetR repressible promoter R0040 followed by the ribosome binding site B0034, the coding sequence K343003 and the terminators B0010 and B0012.
This was achieved through "standard" silver assembly and confirmed via sequencing with biobrick verification forward 2 (VF2) and verification reverse (VR) primers.
