Things we did today
Wetlab work
Checked for Biobrick transformants
- Grace
| Biobrick | Colonies |
|---|---|
| B0014 | none |
| B0015 | 4 |
| E0026 | 4 |
| E0240 | none |
| I14032 | none |
| J04430 | none |
- Restreaked colonies on fresh LB+anitbiotic plates
Large-Scale Plasmid prep of BioBricks
- Margaret
| Lane | Biobrick/Other | description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | tri-dye ladder | very light, no difference in intensity |
| 2 | B0030 | 1.75kb, brighter than ladder, a lot of RNA |
| 3 | R0010 | 2.1kb, brighter than ladder, No RNA?? |
| 4 | C0012 | 2.5kb, brighter than ladder, a lot of RNA |
| 5 | E0040 | 2.4kb, brighter than ladder, a lot of RNA |
| 6 | J33207 | 2.5kb, maybe 5.7ng/uL, No RNA?? |
| 7 | rep region | 0.5kb, 5.7ng/uL |
| 8 | (+) control | bright band below 0.5kb |
| 9 | (-) control | all clear |
| 10 | SigE | ~1kb, maybe 5.7ng/uL |
Future Work for this experiment
- There is salt contamination in the plasmid preps. This is shown in the smeared bands. This occurred because the ethanol did not completely dry. We need to purify.
Remade seed stocks of cyanbacteria
- Krystle
Discussion
- Use commercial-grade competent cells for E0240 and I14032 extraction? We really need these two Biobricks.
