The BEST device has a fresh look with NEW fancy labels.

Thank to the external resistors provided by Anthony and Peter the first polarisation and power curve are now available.

Dr Huete-Ortegafrom Oroboros has kindly agreed to test the cell suspensions of 6803 in the BEST device (CH2,3,4 and the n.c. CH1) in the O2K High-Resolution FluoRespirometry. This test was been particularly relevant as the night before the BEST device was kept outdoor at sub-zero temperature in Innsbruck (Austria). The result are shown in the figure below. Blue traces are the oxygen concentration and red traces are the rate of oxygen variation in pmol/(s * mL).

The conducted test suggests that Synechocystis in the BEST units (CH2,CH3 ad CH4) are able to consume (dark) and generate (light) oxygen. Therefore, there are alive. 2019-03-05 (Tuesday, Innsbruck, Austria).

The microscopic photos obtained by Prof Aleko Miho and his students on 
the cell suspension from che CH1-CH4 of the BEST device show a 
substantial mono culture of photosynthetic cells.
Many thanks to Prof Aleko Miho and Madalena Kola for taking and analyzing the photo (Optical microscope  Motic BA310, with the Motic camera (CMOS 1/2" 3MP – 2048 x 1536 pixel), objective 100x).
