Capture Module
UV Experimentation
This experiment was designed in order to know if the UV promoter is working properly.
Procedure:
1. Inoculate by streak 2 Petri dishes with NhaS DNA in pSB1C3 Red bacteria
2. Repeat step 1 but with NhaS DNA in pSB1C3 White bacteria
3. Let them grow during one day in the incubator at 37°C
4. Expose the four Petri dishes to UV irradiation (302nm) during 2 hours
5. Take photos each 10 minutes and wait for results. (You can also take video during the 2 hours instead of the photos)

Viability in salt (experiment 1)
Bacteria transformed with the capture plasmid were inoculated in Petri dishes with different concentrations of salt
All the bacteria containing the NhaS in pSB1C3 (Red and White) survived to a 10% concentration of salt.
None of the control group lived in any concentration of salt.
