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], shown below.

We imaged two channels: one experimental channel injected with an emitter strain (RFP constitutive) and a receiver strain (pT7-T7polyermase-GFP); the other is a control channel injected with only the receiver strain. The receiver strain contains the T7 autoloop, which will gain a strong fluorescence when activated.
