RP4 Conjugation

Conjugation protocol #1
·DH5α
·DH5α + S17-1 w/ RP4
·DH5α + naked RP4 DNA
·DH5α + amp resistant RFP plasmid

Lambda Red

·Synthesis tetR insert for KorA and trbA replacement

non-RP4 Conjugation

Mini Prep & Glycerol Stock
·CV13(Yep13)
·pDPT51

LuxR from AraC and TetR

- GFP E0240 grew, got some single colonies, stored in a fridge.

- Finished up QuikChange Mutagenesis: Dpn1 digestion.

- Did PCR purification with 30 ul EB Buffer.

- Transformed mutated AraC plasmids into XL1 Blue cells.

//Note: Electroporator 200 Ohms, 1.5 kV, with Tsy Media
//Note: Failed to put cells on ice while bringing them over to do the electroporation. Hopefully, they will still grow.

  • Tube 1: 45 ul XL1 Blue + 15 ul DNA#1
  • Tube 2: 45 ul XL1 Blue + 2 ul DNA#1
  • Tube 3: 45 ul XL1 Blue + 15 ul DNA#2
  • Tube 4: 45 ul XL1 Blue + 2 ul DNA#2
  • Tube 5: 45 ul XL1 Blue

- Plated 200 ul each on LB agar + Amp

BioBrick Promoter Measurements

- Fluorescence and OD600 data was retrieved for the promoter-construct transformants and control groups. The data was manipulated and interpreted in MATLAB. A slope comparison method and a normalized-fluorescence method for singular log-phase data points were used to determine promoter strengths. The slope and data points associated with the empty TOP10 cells were accounted for. The promoter strengths gleaned from the slope-comparison method, the normalized-fluorescence method, and the values listed in the Measurement Kit are provided, respectively, below:

-I20260 (promoter J23101): 1, 1, 1

-I20268 (promoter J23102): 1.09, 0.97, 0.96

-I20269 (promoter J23150): 0.19, 0.24, 0.26

-I20270 (promoter J23151): 0.44, 0.57, 0.55
