Week 8: 07/7/08 - 07/12/08

07/7/08

  • Colony PCR (5 colonies for each plate) for:
    • BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0012 (for the second time, we hoped to find true positive colonies)
    • BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_I15010 (for the second time, we hoped to find true positive colonies)
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0051-BBa_B0030
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006
Colony PCR: Marker (1), empty (2) BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0012, BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_I15010, BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006, BBa_B0030-BBa_C0051-BBa_B0030, BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006, blank
  • Gel results:
    • No true positives for BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0012
    • No true positives for BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_I15010
    • Non pure true positives for BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006
    • Pure true positives for BBa_B0030-BBa_C0051-BBa_B0030
    • Non pure true positives for BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006
  • We chose to keep the first colony for all the 3 working ligation plates.
  • NOTE: BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 and BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006 are final parts; we decided to sequence these 2 parts even if gel showed a weak contamination: sequencing results will tell us if there are false positive plasmids in those colonies or if the contamination was only a PCR contamination.
  • We infected 9 ml LB + suitable antibiotic with 30 µl of these glycerol stocks:
BBa_B0030 BBa_I15010 BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 (1) BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006 (1)
BBa_C0012 BBa_R0062 BBa_B0030-BBa_C0051-BBa_B0030 BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030
  • We incubated the 8 cultures at 37°C, 220 rpm overnight.
  • Tomorrow we will be ready to perform NINE LIGATIONS...(@_@!)



07/8/08

    • We infected 100 µl LB + Amp with the tips and incubated the culture at 37°C, 220 rpm for 2 hours.
    • Then we watched green, blue and red fluorescence channels at microscope (50 µl of each culture):
3 acquisitions for red cells; 3 acquisition for green cells; one acquisition for DAPI channel (blue) for green cells to check for impurities (DAPI channel acquisition for red cells was not saved, but it didn't show any blue area)
