We decided to create and developed a biological circuit in which the TRANS-repressor, in absence of IPTG, can inhibit the synthesis of LacI repressor protein, warranting the production of GFP:

To test the ratio between the production of an high copy number plasmid (PSB1A2) and a low copy number one (PSB3K3), we assembled two circuits. The open loop GFP circuits are realized with a 1429 promotor and the standard biobrick I13504.

One colony from each plate was picked up and let grow overnight in LB medium at 37°C. One milliliter for each of the two samples was collected by O/N cultures and spinned at 6000-8000 rpm for three minutes. The supernatant was harvested and the pellet resuspended. Slides were prepared for the fluorescence bacteria image acquisition.

In order to estimate the difference in strength of the two promoters J23100 (2547) and J23118 (1429), we realized two circuits. Both were composed by an open loop GFP mounted on an high copy number plasmid (PSB1A2), the only different element was the promoter.

From the registry of standard parts we learnt that the strengths of J23100 and J23118 are respectively 2547 and 1429, so the ratio between them is about 1.8. Experimentally we have achieved the value of 1.2; for this reason we can say that this prove has gone well.
