Acid response of CFA mutants . Time points taken every 30 minutes. Cells were resuspended in a LB pH of 3 to be acid

  • shocked. CFA was induced with 1 mM

IPTG at indicated times before shock. Cells were grown at 37˚C at 250 rpm, n=3 average shown. Top- Number of cells from optical density. Bottom-growth rates of cells over time.

  • Correlation between increased acidity and decreased

number of cells

  • With ample induction time there is a decrease in cell

lysis compared to our uninduced control

  • This suggests CFA is responsible for this shift
  • Ensure CFA is being expressed
  • Alter pH range
  • Sample more frequent time points
  • Test the response to alkali conditions
  • Assess vitality of cells
  • Run a prolonged culture
  • Scaled up
