Biobricks

The list of all the biobricks that we used are on the iGEM registry which can be found here.

Below you can see two short videos in which we added different kinds of E.D Frosti to supercooled (-6°C) ultrapure “milli-Q” water (Millipore Corporation). The first video (GFP-control), is a control: when E.D. Frosti constitutively expressing a GFP construct is added to the supercooled water, it does not freeze. In the second video (INP), E.D. Frosti contains a constitutively active Ice-Nucleating Protein producing biobrick ( BBa_K584027). When we added this to the supercooled water, it froze immediately.

-biobrick, but that did not receive a lactose (IPTG) stimulus. Although our GFP-characterization of this biobrick showed that the promoter is not leaky, the water still freezes.
-This can have several causes, two examples are: the coupling of the <i>INP</i> gene to the promoter makes the system leaky. It is also possible that there is a very low (basal) expression of the <i>INP</i> gene and that this small amount of INP is enough to induce ice nucleation.
