To express bioluminescence under circadian oscillation it was essential to identify the ideal promoters that could yield highest substrate concentrations at the exact time our biolamp is on i.e. by night.
 
-
 
-
Based on literature (ref) we found that suitable promoters to start our model were sigE (sll1689), Transaldolase (slr1793) and Cytochrome aa3 (sll1898).
 
-
 
-
Therefore, in the following section we explain how to model the oscillation in terms of product generation under three circadian promoters: sigE (sll1689), Transaldolase (slr1793) and Cytochrome aa3 (sll1898).

Product generation by promoter
 
-
 
-
From known sigE (sll1689) production data we could build up a model using MatLab software.  (Please check our script!).
 
-
 
-
Basically, what we have after data adjustment is a sine function consistent with the oscillatory nature of the circadian rhythm.
 
-
 
-
Generation = C*sen(2π(t-(peak-6))/12)+1
 
-
 
-
The C parameter was optimized using Excel Solver’s algorithm of least squares.
 
-
 
-
For Transaldolase (slr1793) and Cytochrome aa3 (sll1898) a microarray data was adjusted (using the same algorithm of least squares) to obtain:

And this is the best model because it yields highest substrate concentration at the desired time (12 hr)
