Things we did today

Wetlab work

Colony PCR

Margaret
  • Colony PCR of pSB1A2, pSB1A3, pSB3K3
Lane 1 contains the 2-log ladder, lane 2: pSB1A3's ccdB insert, lane3: pSB1A2's ccdB insert, lane 4: pSB3K3's ccdB insert, lane 5: positive control, lane 6: negative control, lane 7: pSMC121.

PCR amplification of pRL1383a parts

Restriction Digest

Krystle
  • Performed 2 restriction digests on nir, gfp, and gfp fusion brick with EcoRI and SpeI
trial 1: digested 5ul of each plasmid prep in a 50ul reaction mixture, ran 20 ul of the digest after 3 hours
trial 2: digested 25ul of each plasmid prep in a 50ul reaction mixture, ran 20 ul of the digest after 2 hours

Drylab Work

Name of Task

Krystle, Margaret
  • We figured out why some of the biobrick extractions did not transform. Some of these parts are on pSB2K3http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:pSB2K3 which is a low copy until IPTG is added to the medium in which case it becomes high copy! So next time we make this, add 1mM IPTG to the media.
