Experimental Results
Testing of Or as a Promoter
The backbone of the radiation sensor in our project relies on the operating region Or, and the two promoters one on each end of Or. In order to test the function ability of the of the pr promoter we attached a part called mcherry, which has rfp to the promoter. We used the TECAN in our lab to measure the fluorescence of our samples over time. The data collected while the samples were in exponential growth was used to determine a rate of expression of the rfp. Compared to the control, the rate of fluorescence was much higher in our test subject, about 4227 compared to 418 (fu/OD600nm). This suggests that the promoter on Or is functional.
