Things we did today
Wetlab work
Verification of Transformants
- Grace
File:101008colonypcr.jpg
EtBr stained 2% agarose gel ran at 95V for 1 hour. Two microliters of PCR product were loaded into each well.
| Construct | Colonies |
|---|---|
| nir+rbs+GFP+tt#1 | 100 |
| plac+rbs+GFP+tt#1 | 3 |
| nir+rbs+slr1+GFPf | 51 |
| nir+rbs+pilA+GFPf+tt | 24 |
| BBpRL1383a | lawn |
| (-) no DNA | 0 |
- Colony PCR of transformants
- nrgt #15
Overnight RE digest
- Grace
- EcoRI/PstI:
- BBpRL1383a-1
- nrsg #6 (PCR)
- prpgt #5, 7, 11 (PCR)
Triparental Conjugation
- Grace
- Began triparental conjugation between E. coli containing RP1 and BBpRL1383a -1 or -18 and Synechocystis
- RP1 OD600=0.6341
- BBpRL1383-a OD600=61.25
- BBpRL1383a-18 OD600=0.4884
- Synechocystis OD700=0.8629, OD730=0.7337
- Placed plates in SC 37C CO2 incubator until Monday
Verification of plasmids
- MARGARET
- Why haven't I gotten good efficiency of transformation? I ran a gel of the plasmids i am working with and got the answer. Apparently there was a mix-up and I was using low quality plasmid.
- The pSB1A3 and pSB3K3 digested and de-phosphorylated (lanes: ) were thrown out. Norman's pSB1A3 and pSB1A7 were digested with E and P today at 4:30pm.
- The base vector is digested--> bands appear to be correct size.
Submitted sequencing
- Margaret
- the plac/rbs/rep colony 7 construct and oriV colony 1 (from most recent transformations) were sent in for sequencing today.
