Construction of reporterplasmid with kanamycin resistance

mCherry

  • Transformationresults: Cultures were grown, also on plates with wrong plasmid - insert ratio
  • Inoculation of liquid cultures from transformation with wrong ratio in the morning.
  • Miniprep of liquid cultures in the evening: eluted in 35 µl H2O, (Qiagen Miniprepkit)
  • Inoculation of liquid cultures from transformation with right ratio.


pSB1A2-Receiver-Colicin cloning

Mutagenesis of pSB1A2-ColicinE1-Receiver

  • MiniPreps of colE1 after the 2nd mutagenesis (colonies 1.14, 1.16, 5.1, 5.7) and of colE9 (colonies 2 and 4, still with the pre-/suffix) each on pSB1A2 after receiver --> sent for sequencing
  • Colonies picked from the transformations of the mutated colE9 parts (with the correct pre-/suffix) --> inocculated and MiniPreped (for digestion and sequencing)

Characterization: ColicinE1-Receiver Activitytest

  • 4 pm: Inoculation of:
    • 30 ml TB-Kana with BBa_I20260
    • 30 ml TB-Amp with T9002-Receiver without GFP
    • 30 ml TB-Amp with pSB1A2-ColicinE1-Receiver
  • 8.30 pm: Preparing mixtures for the plate:
    • plate scheme:
      081013 colicin activity test plate scheme.png
    • Killer:Prey 1:0.25 -> 200 µl Referencepromotercells + 800 µl Receivercells
    • Killer:Prey 1:1 -> 200 µl Referencepromotercells + 200 µl Receivercells + 600 µl TB media
    • Killer:Prey 1:5 -> 200 µl Referencepromotercells + 40 µl Receivercells + 760 µl TB media
    • Killer:Prey 1:10 -> 200 µl Referencepromotercells + 20 µl Receivercells + 780 µl TB media
  • 9.30 pm: Starting measurement


Sender cloning: constitutive promotor-sender

Characterization: Sender Activity Test

  • Characterization: Sender-Test measured every hour over the day. See Saturdayurday for more details.
  • Layout of the 96 well plate:
  • Results:
    • AI-1 GFP/OD:

    • Sender GFP/OD:

    • Sender OD:

    • Amplifier GFP/OD:
      081013-amplifier GFP-OD small.jpg
    • Amplifier OD:
      081013-amplifier od small.jpg
    • In most cases the later supernatants have a higher GFP/OD rate: But there in some cases earlier concentrations are much higher. A problem was that the plate stand at 4 °C for 2 days so this could cause these outliers. In the next days we repeat this experiment to characterize these parts properly.
