  • WETLAB TEAM
  1. Begin culturing B.subtilis and transformation:
  • Monday
    • Prepare an overnight culture of DL1-blue E.coli with the pDR110 integration vector,
    • Prepare an 2x overnight culture of B.subtilis,
    • Prepare the reagents required for transformation,
  • Tuesday
    • Miniprep of the DL1-blye overnight culture,
    • Make competent cells for both of the transformation protocols
  • Wednesday
    • Perform transformation of the competent cells using both protocols,
  • Thursday
    • Check successfulness of the transformation. If successful then perform transformation of linear DNA using previously made competent cells.
  • Friday
    • Check successfulness of the linear DNA transformation,


  1. Transform XL1-blue E.coli with Biobricks containing BBa_B0015 and BBa_c0012
  2. Design all primers for PCR cloning
  3. PCR clone AmyE from pDR111 and XylR from the B.subtilis genome
  4. Prepare B.subtilis for first microscopy session - a set of dilutions to ascertain optimal amount of cells per mL
  5. Chris and James will attend microscope training
  6. Produce cell number against OD600nm calibration curve for use in characterisation
  • DRYLAB TEAM
  1. Finish up tutorial 2 by this week
  2. Start working on tutorial 3
  3. Attend microscope training
  4. Generate data sets from bacteria motility movies
