Morning:

• Miniprep for pLacI, followed by DNA concentrating using QiAQuick PCR purification kit.

Afternoon:

• Transformation and cell cloning 4 empty plasmids from Biobrick registry:
  • [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:pSB1A3 pSB1A3]
  • [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:pSB1AC3 pSB1AC3]

  • [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:pSB1AT3 pSB1AT3]
• Transformation and cloning of LacI-GFP into LuxS knockout bacteria.
• Make LsrA competent cells. Then transform 0.3 ul LacI-GFP plasmid into these cells.

Evening:

• Gel extraction (using QiAQuick Gel extraction Kit)==>Ligation (using T4 DNA ligase) ==> Transformation for the following 4 samples:
  • E7 Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
  • SupD Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
  • T7ptag Insert - Empty plasmid vector (from GFP)
  • GFP insert - pFE vector (for characterization of Fe promoter)
