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
