Then, the calibration curve was obtained by using the same amount of <partinfo>BBa_T9002</partinfo> culture (200-X ul) induced with X ul of inducer solution at the proper concentration. To maintain the same experimental conditions, the inducer was diluted in the supernatant of a negative control (i.e., <partinfo>BBa_B0034</partinfo>). |
**Fluorescence and absorbance were measured after 30 min from the induction with a Tecan Infinite F200 microplate reader and, using the information provided by the calibration curve, the amount of 3OC6-HSL present in every supernatant was evaluated (each reported fluorescence value was corrected with the O.D.600 of the culture). | **Fluorescence and absorbance were measured after 30 min from the induction with a Tecan Infinite F200 microplate reader and, using the information provided by the calibration curve, the amount of 3OC6-HSL present in every supernatant was evaluated (each reported fluorescence value was corrected with the O.D.600 of the culture). | ||

The goal is the estimation of the critical O.D.600 value (O.D.start) at which the Scell significantly increases. Because Scell is a very noisy signal, a threshold value which takes into account the noise variability was proposed and it is described below. | The goal is the estimation of the critical O.D.600 value (O.D.start) at which the Scell significantly increases.

Two different signals, measured from independent samples of the same non-fluorescent culture in the same experiment, are considered: C1 and C2. The fluorescence signal of C1 and C2 (F_C1 and F_C2 respectively) can be thought as the addition of a “real signal” and a noise component. | Two different signals, measured from independent samples of the same non-fluorescent culture in the same experiment, are considered: C1 and C2.

F_C1 and F_C2 have the same expected value and the same standard deviation, since they are two independent realizations of the same aleatory process: in fact, they are two time series acquired from the same cultures in the same growth conditions by the same instrument. | F_C1 and F_C2 have the same expected value and the same standard deviation, since they are two independent realizations of the same aleatory process: in fact, they are two time series acquired from the same cultures in the same growth conditions by the same instrument. | ||
