                                       We observe that with the RiboJ sequence, the fluorescence intensity has dramatically risen at 14th hour. We also compare the fluorescent at 3rd, 6th, and 9th hour. The fluorescence of the strain that contains RiboJ is more than that does not contain RiboJ. We can conclude that by adding the RiboJ sequence to the construct, the expression of fluorescent protein is increase. We can also could conclude that riboJ could also strengthen the signal and increase the specificity of the downstream gene of it. We improve the P<sub>gadA</sub> part so the difference of the surrounding pH condition can be observed more easily.
