  • Result of transformation: the positive control was highly successful, with hundreds of colonies, but no colonies were present on the plate transformed with the BioBrick DNA indicating some problem with the DNA elution. Need to check that we got the method right.
  • Ordered primers for dxs, appY and glgC. There are no forbidden restriction sites in the first two, so primers with full prefix and partial suffix were ordered to clone as EcoRI-SpeI fragments, but glgC has two EcoRI sites which will have to be mutated out. We therefore had a choice of cloning it initially as a XbaI-PstI fragment, or attempting the BABEL system, and decided to try BABEL first. If it proves too unreliable, we will need to order new primers to clone it the old-fashioned way.
