Achievement


We have successfully managed to accomplish the following task shown in the table below (Fig.1)

Fig.1 Table of a list of our achievement


We have also managed to successfully construct and evaluate the following BioBrick

Sensory rhodopsin

Tokyo-NoKoGen 2010 created a chimeric sensory rhodopsin with a chemotaxis transducer tar from E. coli (BBa_K225001). We created a blue light sensor, a chimeric sensor rhodopsin, the same sensor domain of rodopsin from Natronobacterium pharaonis (N. pharaonis), and tested to see if the GFP under PompC will show any expression under the light, the light signal received by the sensory rhodopsin. The figure below shows the result. As you can see, we have found that opposing to what we expected, the blue light sensor responded to light by turning off the expression of GFP, and turns on GFP expression in the dark.


The lux operon

BBa_K769011
Promoter(Pbad)-RBS-lux operon-DT


we have cloned the lux operon Photobacterium phosphoreum and expressed it under arabinose inducible promoter, PBad. We have expressed it inside E. coli and evaluated the luminescence at different temperature, at 30 and 20 degrees
