EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION
Motivation
The experiment was performed to measure the 3OC6-HSL concentration due to the synthesis of homoserine-lactone by 3OC6-HSL generators in saturation phase of the cultures growth.
Methods
According to Protocol 3 the experiment was performed in LB on the following signalling parts:

- <partinfo>pSB1AK3</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300009</partinfo> (negative control)
Supernatants were properly diluted in order to evaluate the production of 3OC6-HSL of the low copy number parts.
RESULTS
The 3OC6-HSL concentrations of several cultures were evaluated:
Part | 3OC6-HSL concentration [uM]
|
<partinfo>BBa_J61002</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300030</partinfo> | ~0.4
|
<partinfo>BBa_J61002</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300028</partinfo> | ~0.02
|
<partinfo>BBa_J61002</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300025</partinfo> | ~0.1
|
<partinfo>BBa_J61002</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300027</partinfo> | ~0.002
|
<partinfo>pSB4C5</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300030</partinfo> | ~0.005
|
<partinfo>pSB4C5</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300028</partinfo> | ~0.002
|
<partinfo>pSB4C5</partinfo> - <partinfo>BBa_K300025</partinfo> | ~0.003
