As our goal was to experimentally manipulate gene expression in response to ambient iron, we first needed to investigate how changing the iron concentration in the medium affected E.coli growth. We quantified growth of E.coli strains containing either the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:Evry/Sensor">aceB-GFP iron sensor</a> or the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:Evry/Inverter">aceB-lacI+PL_lacO-RFP Fur inverter</a> grew at a range of iron supplementations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 uM iron. The growth results show a statistically insignificant decrease in growth at higher iron concentrations for the sensor strain (Fig 1A) and no affect for the inverter strain (Fig 1B).

Results

As our goal was to experimentally manipulate gene expression in response to ambient iron, we first needed to investigate how changing the iron concentration in the medium affected E.coli growth. We quantified growth of E.coli strains containing either the aceB-GFP iron sensor or the aceB-lacI+PL_lacO-RFP Fur inverter grew at a range of iron supplementations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 uM iron. The growth results show a statistically insignificant decrease in growth at higher iron concentrations for the sensor strain (Fig 1A) and no affect for the inverter strain (Fig 1B).
