Conclusion

We have demonstrated that our module (BBa_K729008) shows an increase of GFP expression compare with BBa_K200018 due to the presence of T7 RNA polymerase and T7 promoter in the module.

The improvement made suggest that any gene place downstream T7 promoter are very likely to show high-yield protein expression.

In the future, we would also like to test the buoyancy of our cells by determining their relative density. Cells will float or sink based on their density relative to the density of the solution surrounding them. Hence, by using different concentration of salt solutions, and observing the buoyancy of cells, a quantitative gauge of cell buoyancy can be determined.
