The results of our first p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNPB) assay shows that LC-cutinase appears to behave as an esterase, increasing the absorbance at 405 nm over time. We set up the run with both cutinase regulated by a constitutive promoter (BBa_J23101) and the inducible pBad promoter (BBa_K206000) in the MG1655 strain of E. coli. We also included a negative control of BBa_J04450 in MG1655 and another negative control of the PNPB buffer with LB instead of cells. The plot below displays the absorbance at 405 nm of each sample with the OD of the PNPB buffer control subtracted.
We attempted to redo the previous run while measuring OD 600 as to find the OD 405 per cell of each sample.
