The measurements suggest that a heat shock period of 10 minutes significantly increases the production of GFP, while a heat shock period of 5 minutes leads to a similar GFP production level as the untreated cells. Furthermore, the production of GFP shows a decreasing trend after 3 hours suggesting that the heat shock promoter was only activated for a certain time period.

BioBrick Characterization

Effect of Heat Shock Temperature

DH5α cells containing HSP-GFP were incubated at 4°C, 25°C, 42°C, and 45°C separately for two hours. Measurements of the fluorescence level of GFP were taken using the plate reader at 20 minute intervals and were averaged over a 1 hour interval. The vertical axis is raw fluorescence units normalized by OD600. Normalized value of 4°C at t=0 was subtracted from all the values to show a relative difference.

Effect of Heat Shock Temperature.png


This experiment data suggests that heat shock promoter activity increases with heat shock temperature.

Effect of Heat Shock Duration

DH5α cells containing HSP-GFP were heat shocked at 42°C for 0 min (kept at room temperature), 5 min and 10 min separately. Measurements of the fluorescence level of GFP were taken using the plate reader at 15 minute intervals and were averaged over a 1 hour interval. The vertical axis is raw fluorescence units normalized by OD600.

Effect of Heat Shock Pulse Duration.png

The measurements suggest that a heat shock period of 10 minutes significantly increases the production of GFP, while a heat shock period of 5 minutes leads to a similar GFP production level as the untreated cells. Furthermore, the production of GFP shows a decreasing trend after 3 hours suggesting that the heat shock promoter was only activated for a certain time period. DH5α cells contained in the images below-visualized by an optical microscope with a GFP-specific filter- were incubated at 42°C for 10 minutes.
