August, 16th
Agr A and C ligation to pSB4C5
Ligation was performed using Fermentas Rapid Ligation kit according to their protocol.
After ligation, samples were visualized on a gel, but little product of the correct size was seen.
For agrA we should have gotten a band of size 3700 (3000plasmid + 700 insert)
For agrC we should have gotten a band of size 4300 (3000plasmid + 1300insert)
The bands of appropriate sizes were extracted for transformation.
August, 18th
Check promoters
On Friday, PCR out promoters, we want to check them.
- Run a gel
- Results : good size of bands!!!
Transformation of AgrA and AgrC
AgrA and C gell-extracted ligation was transformed into Top 10 cells using standard protocol. Puc9 was used as a positive control.
August, 19th
Results of AgrA and C transformation
Transformation has failed. No colonies were visible for the plates of Agr A or C. The Puc9 positive control grew. We believe that the problem was in the gel-extraction between ligation and transformation. Most of our plasmid was probably lost in this step. Next time we will directly use the results from the ligation reaction to transform. Although many bands were seen on the previous gel of the ligation reaction, we will check our transformation growth by single colony PCR to confirm transformation of the plasmid with our correct insert.
Lux parts
To make the Lux Receiver, we need 4 different parts ;
- R0040, TetR repressible promoter
- SO168, luxR + double terminator
- R0062, promoter activated by luxR
- JO4630 (GFP + double terminator)
All these parts have been transformed into E.coli. We want to test them. R004, R0062 and JO4630 have already been tested, it should be fine. We received from the MIT R0040, R0062 and S068 already transformed into E.coli, so we want to check these stocks (which are certainly fine) and use them. For JO4630, we want to double check our transformation.
- Plate on antibiotic plates and do LB stocks of single colony from the MIT stock (R0040, R0062 and S0168).
- Put on Kan plates 4 different colonies from J04630 (transformation Amp plate) and also incubate these colonies into LB

Checking the insert of promoters
We ligated promoters into death vector, and transforned into Top 10. Our transformation worked, but it was hard to say with the result of yesterday if we had the good insert. Moreover, it is possible that we inverted Pupp and Pspac. So we are going to make a new single colony PCR with the primers of promoters (we used the same single colonies than yesterday).
We also want to PCR again all promoters (Pspac, Pxyl, Pupp and Ppac) from plasmids to have more.

- W4 with EcoRI : cut
- W4 with XbaI : uncut, self ligation
- W5 with EcoRI : cut
- W5 with XbaI : uncut, self ligation
- W6 with EcoRI : cut
- W6 with XbaI : cut (2 bands), transformation ok for RBS W6
- W8 with EcoRI : impossible to see
- W8 with XbaI : impossible to see
- W10 with EcoRI : cut
- W10 with XbaI : maybe cut, it seems to be 2 bands, but quite difficult to see
- W11 with EcoRI : cut
- W11 with XbaI : uncut, self ligation
Double check of RBS W6 and stock
- Grow RBS W6 in 10mL of LB with antibiotic
September, 14th
RBS S6 and RBS W6
- Put the 10mL of LB with OBS W6 in 200mL of LB with antibiotic
- Aliquot the 200mL of LB with RBS S6, spin, throw out the supernatant and freeze the pellet
September, 15th
Check big stock of RBS S and W
- We want to check our big stock of RBS S and W, with all digest enzymes
- Plasmid miniprep RBS S6 and RBS W6 (from 200mL flask)
- Nanodrop
product | concentration (ng/μL) | 260/280 |
---|---|---|
RBS W2 | 90.3 | 1.70 |
RBS W4 | 124.0 | 1.80 |
- Single digest with EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI and PstI

- Lane12 : supercoiled ladder
- Result
- Even no band for the uncut plasmid. There is a problem with plasmid miniprep, we will try again with less (more diluted) cells for plasmid miniprep.
- New plasmid miniprep (the pellets from 20mL of LB is diluted into 1.2ml instead of 0.6)
- New single digest
- New gel (same lanes than before)
- Result
- One band for everything, but the same size than the uncut plasmid. Moreover, this uncut plasmid should be 3000bp, and here, it is more. So, we have a problem in the growth of cells, we will try again and check the 10ml tube which is used to inoculate the big flask and also the big flask.
