Catechol Assay E. coli Cells
This assay is used to verify that catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (XylE) is converting catechol to the yellow compound 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (2-HMS). For this procedure we used to the newly constructed XylE part. This part contains the TetR promoter the XylE gene and its native rbs site:
- Grow up 2 ml overnight cultures in LB
- Spin the cultures down and keep the supernatant
- Bring the supernatant to a concentration of 0.1 M of Catechol by using a 1M catechol stock solution
- The colour of the supernatant should change to bright yellow very quickly ( about 30 seconds)s
