Lab Work

Wet Lab

  • The electrocompetent cells were tested with pUC and we had a lot of colonies so these are working great. *Ligation products were transformed to these electrocompetent cells (E0022+B0015, J23109+J23032, I712074+J23032, GFP+B0015, GFP+pSB1A2, C0062+B0015, pUC as a control).
  • We made digest of J23032, F1610, J23022, B0015.
  • Miniprep colonies of the ligation.
  • The three punched parts of the memory gave a few colonies. One of them did not give any colonies at all. The colonies we had were plated on new plates.

Dry Lab

Check possibility of hybrid promotor to connect memory and timer (LuxI). This is to replace the antisense LuxI. Promotor would look something like this:
OperatorHSL_LuxR --- -35 box --- OperatorCII P22 --- -10 box

New modeling of the antisense LuxI and its target LuxI mRNA shows that this leaky repression is not a problem for the system. Still looking at the composite promoter though.
