Concept
Swimmy Bacteria -- the E.coli freeze and gather when they are caught by red light.
red light on -> stop
red light off -> move
Control the E.coli's movement with light!
Design
to stop the e.coli by light, we needed a part that stop the e.coli, and combine this with a light receptor that UCSF made it last year.
there was some ways to stop the e.coli running:
- making a chemaera with chemotaxis receptor and light sensing receptor
- stop the motor protein's expression(motB protein: from last year's parts)
- controling chemotaxis
etc
we chose to control chemotaxis. We've found out, from the paper(..see refrences), the chemoreceptor that fix the e.coli tumble. it is a fragment of the chemoreceptor "Tsr" (a serin receptor)from aa 290 to 551. we call this tsr-cw(or tsr290).
Experiments
we made the new part rbs-tsrcw by PCR and made a new BioBrick (BBa_J29049).
Swarm Plate Assay
first we wanted to make sure this parts will work, so we put it suffix in the OmpC-promotor& araC-promotor. we found the OmpC promotor (R0082) was not working good, so then we used the araC promotor. -- results under construction --
Capillary Assay
we wanted to see if the tsr-cw is working good with this assay,too. we're waiting for the results...

light cannon
- 10/15 we wrote a picture at the solid media.(not finished yet) also we changed the arabinose concentration at the liquid media.
- 10/14 the Fluorescent lamp was the best light. we could see the on/off clearly in the solid media. we found that the thin media is better than the thicker one.
- 10/11 we changed the arabinose & S-gal's concentration & the light sorce to find the best condition.
swimmy
- 10/15 tried the capiraly assay to see chemotaxis. also we washed the e.coli and observed it with the microscope(but it was kind of hard)
- 10/11 we're finding the suitable media to observe the E.coli's movement(chemotaxis).
- 8/23 we made the tsr gene parts by PCR & discussed about the locked Tsr mutants.
