+ | The measurements obtained by the sensor indicate that at higher glucose concentrations the biolumiscence of the cells decreases. However, experimental data obtained by plate reader is contradictory. (<html><a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:UC_Chile2/Characterization#Glucose_concentration" target"_blank">Check here for data</a>) We believe that the sensor was not sensitive enough to measure light intensity differences between the flasks. Also there was a lot of noise in the measurement as you can see in this rough graph of the data.</html> | ||
