LuxR from pLac

-I0462 part sequence confirmed. Overnight started of that part for glycerol stock.

-R+E sequence appears inconclusive again, alot of n's present.

-Transformation of second R+E ligation plated succesfully on amp plate. Colony selected, and overnight started for sequencing.

-Overnight of DH5a+LacIq started to make electrocompetent.

MG1655Z1

- Restriction digest minipreped DNA of plasmids in MG1655Z1 (expected no plasmids left after cure) with XbaI.

- After 2 hours, ran gel on the digested DNA together with the non-digest minipreped. The result showed that there were still plasmids left in the strain. In the digested DNA lane, there were bands between 5-6 kb, 10 kb and above.

- Streaked MG1655Z1 from glycerol stock made from original strain received on Amp plate to check if there was other unknown plasmids.

- Streaked MG1655Z1 from Tsy#2 plate on Amp, Kan, Cam, and Tet plate (All 8 sections) to check what plasmids still existed.

LuxR from AraC and TetR

- Nanodropped the digested P1010(AC): 63.5 ng/ul, 1.02-260/280, 0.27-260/230; and promoter D29: 26.4 ng/ul, 0.81-260/280, 0.33-260/230.

- Ligation of P1010 on pSB1AC3 and promoter 29.

  • Mixed 16.47 ul dH2O + 2 ul T4ligase buffer + 0.32 ul P1010(20 ng) + 0.21 ul D29(~5.5 ng) + 1 ul T4 ligase
  • Incubated 10 ul of the reaction in fridge overnight.
  • Incubated the other 10 ul of the reaction at room temp 30 mins
  • denatured enzyme at 65 degree Celcius 10 mins
  • 20 min on filter paper. (note: mistakenly used Scott's cellulose filter paper, barely got anything left on the paper.)
  • electroporated whatever was left into 45 ul XL1 Blue and plated on Amp.
