Water Sample Testing

  • Figure 1: Left to right, water sample from Artisan Courtyard fountain (ASU campus), water sample from Tempe Town Lake and Nuclease free water. The following picture was taken 10 minutes after X-gal, PSV cell lysate (contains full LacZ) and DTT were added to the solution. The following test samples were under buffering conditions. All three samples changed colors but the Tempe town lake water sample reflected a color change 2 minutes after the addition of the reagents.

  • Figure 2: Left to right, Nuclease free water sample, Tempe Town Lake water sample and Artisan Courtyard fountain (ASU campus) water sample. The following picture was taken 10 minutes after X-gal, PUC 19 cell lysate (contains split LacZ fragements) and DTT were added to the solution. The following test samples were under buffering conditions. Faint color change was observed in all three samples.

  • Figure 3: Control Samples. Left to right, water sample from Artisan Courtyard fountain (ASU campus), water sample from Tempe Town Lake and Nuclease free water. The following picture was taken 10 minutes after X-gal, NEB10 B cell lysate (contains omega fragment of LacZ) and DTT were added to the solution. The following test samples were under buffering conditions. No color change was observed.

  • Figure 4: Left to right, water sample from Artisan Courtyard fountain (ASU campus), Nuclease free water and water sample from Tempe Town Lake. The following picture was taken 10 minutes after X-gal, commercial beta gal enzyme and DTT were added to the solution. The following test samples were under buffering conditions. No color change was observed.
