Friday 20 June

Morning:

  • Miniprep for pLacI, followed by DNA concentrating using QiAQuick PCR purification kit.

Afternoon:

  • Transformation and cell cloning 4 empty plasmids from Biobrick registry:
  • Transformation and cloning of LacI-GFP into LuxS knockout bacteria.
  • Make LsrA competent cells. Then transform 0.3 ul LacI-GFP plasmid into these cells.

Evening:

  • Gel extraction (using QiAQuick Gel extraction Kit)==>Ligation (using T4 DNA ligase) ==> Transformation for the following 4 samples:
    • E7 Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
    • SupD Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
    • T7ptag Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
    • GFP insert - pFE vector (for characterization of Fe promoter)
