Nanotube-assisted diffusion of T7 polymerase in Microfluidics

Experimental Scheme

In order to test whether our Bacillus subtilis T7 emitters & receivers can form nanotubes when mixed, we mix them in microfluidic system modified from Jeff Hasty's recent paper [1]. We imaged two channels: one injected with an emitter strain marked by RFP and a receiver strain; the other channel filled with only the receiver strain. The receiver strain contains the T7 autoloop, which will when activated by T7 polymerase
