Protocols

Protocol of chip-based XFP degradation rate detection in E.coli.

First of all, E.coli will be measured after shaking to about OD2.0(600)in the chip which was washed by plasma water, vacuum pumping. The bacteria liquid was pushed into the chip, letting the cells enter the small triangle. Then use the constant flow pump culture medium into chip (the laboratory constant temperature, can not guarantee the training environment, 37°E. coli slower growth). The medium speed is about 200ul/h. Finally we test the data after yeast fulled in the triangles.Using the IPTG medium, the new RFP expression was stopped and we can regard the lights as degradation tags' efficiency.

Protocol of Enzyme - labelled meter detecting the fluorescent protein intensity

First of all, take a certain amount of bacteria liquid, recovery to around OD0.6(600), ensuring the bacteria in the logarithmic growth phase. Diluted and then the bacteria transferred to 96 well plates, measured their fluorescence intensity. Red fluorescent protein using an excitation wavelength of 584nm, and its emission wavelength is 607nm.When measuring, we first detect the OD600 of each strain, removing the factor of bacteria number difference. Thus the fluorescence intensity cannot be altered by bacteria quantity. Then the measurement mode switching for measurement of fluorescence, fluorescence intensity.

The BGI-ATCG iGEM 2013 team is a huge and diversity group consists of undergraduate from ten universities. Our team members’ major is really different, such as biotechnology bioinformatics, physical and even mathematics. Our work is partly assigned into each group made up by the students from the same university, which you can find in the group part in this page. And you can also browse about who and how everyone contributed to the project in this page. We really appreciate all our advisors and instructors that have assisted us throughout this project, without whom the project could not been carried out. We would also like to thank all everyone else who has helped us to achieve our project through put up advice or providing DNA, seeds, or other materials.
