Cell Viability Experiment with Voltage

This experiment is designed to investigate the BL21 viability when voltage is applied. This is necessary for the voltage sensor experiments in our project. The protocol of the following experiment can be found here.(hyperlink to https://2013.igem.org/Team:Hong_Kong_CUHK/protocol)

The difference in optical density (OD) before and after experiment determines the number of cells that grow during the experimental period.

The results show that the control group, BL21 E.coli without pSB1C3+RFP transformation survive better when voltage is applied as they are shaken in the incubator (25°C). On the other hand, the experimental group, BL212 E.coli with pSB1C3 + RFP shows a lower survival rate when voltage is applied and shaken inside the incubator (25°C).

Despite of the voltage being positive or negative, both groups show higher survival rate when lower magnitude voltage is applied, as shown on the graph.
