* The ''B.subtilis'' was successfully transformed using transformation of protocol 2, [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2008/Prototype/Wetlab/Transformation_protocol_4#Transformation_Protocol_2| Click link here for protocol]. However, colonies were seen on the plates were no DNA was used for transformation. The most likely cayse of this is contamination whilst carrying out the electroporation. To check that the LB agar plates contained streptinomycin we picked a transformed colony and streaked it out on a freshly made LB agar plate containing streptinmycin.

*In addition the transformation protocol 1 was carried out, [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2008/Prototype/Wetlab/Transformation_protocol_2| click here for a link to the protocol]. The principle of this protocol is that a culture is grown to a high O.D.<sub>600</sub>, this induces the stress pathways in ''B.subtilis'' and induces natural competence. These high cultures are diluted and then incubated with suitable concentrations of DNA. Transformed ''B.subtilis'' can then be plated out and grown on antibiotic resistant plates.

Dry Lab

  • Generated a synthetic video of a bacterium swimming as it would be seen from the microscope, i.e with a noisy background, with realistic cell and background intensities
  • Tested the synthetic video with the SpotTracker pluggin for ImageJ: results were unconvincing
  • Continued work on modelling the growth curve of bacteria using ODEs

Wet Lab

  • Some parts of the registry ( notably GFP terminator) were double digested

B.subtilis

  • The B.subtilis was successfully transformed using transformation of protocol 2, [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2008/Prototype/Wetlab/Transformation_protocol_4#Transformation_Protocol_2| Click link here for protocol]. However, colonies were seen on the plates were no DNA was used for transformation. The most likely cayse of this is contamination whilst carrying out the electroporation. To check that the LB agar plates contained streptinomycin we picked a transformed colony and streaked it out on a freshly made LB agar plate containing streptinmycin.
  • In addition the transformation protocol 1 was carried out, [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:IMPERIAL/2008/Prototype/Wetlab/Transformation_protocol_2| click here for a link to the protocol]. The principle of this protocol is that a culture is grown to a high O.D.600, this induces the stress pathways in B.subtilis and induces natural competence. These high cultures are diluted and then incubated with suitable concentrations of DNA. Transformed B.subtilis can then be plated out and grown on antibiotic resistant plates. Today B.subtilis were grown to an O.D.600 of 2.0 and incubated with 40ng to 400ng of pDR110 DNA.
