Lab work

A - Aerobic/Anaerobic regulation system

Objective : characterize BBa_K1155000, BBa_K1155004, BBa_K1155005, BBa_K1155006

1 - Results of liquid culture of Pfnr-RBS-Amil CP-Term in PSB1C3 in aerobic and anaerobic conditions

XiaoJing

In anaerobic conditions, thank to promotor Pfnr, RBS-Amil CP-Term gene is activated and we can see a violet coloration of bacterias.

In aerobic conditions, promotor Pfnr is inactivated, RBS-Amil CP-Term isn't activated and we can't see any coloration of bacterias.
