Test

Eppendorf tubes are used to contain the liquid.

Two filters were tested:

Four sets

  • Control: M9 medium with E-coli
  • Test: M9 medium with E-coli overexpressing TagGFP2

M9 medium is used because it has low autofluorescence.

  • reduce background light intensity: right filter
  • increase green light intensity
  • increase the sensitivity of the circuit
  • enlarge the area of fluorescent
