The Butanerd Project Continues!

Inserts and Promoters/Vectors Used

  • The following are the five butanol inserts we have been working with this year:
    1. RBS + B-hydroxy butyryl coA dehydrogenase (AKA. 21)
    2. RBS + Enoyl-coa hydratase (AKA. 22)
    3. RBS + Butyryl coa Dehydrogenase (AKA. 23)
    4. RBS + Butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (AKA. 24)
    5. RBS + Butanol dehydrogenase (AKA. 25)
    • All the parts submitted by last year's team can be found here.

    The Summer Summary

    The summer began with working on the butanol project as a training exercise to get the team familiarized with lab procedures. The team worked on ligating individual butanol inserts into the J61003 and I0500 vectors. Furthermore, protein expressions were to be done on these plasmids once the ligations were successfully completed. The ligations were a success by the beginning of July.


    The team proceeded to show protein expression of the individual butanol inserts. The Western blots were successfully completed by the end of July.


    Finally, with the eagerness of the team to complete last year's project, the completion of the full butanol operon was adopted as a side project. The full operon (from insert 21 to insert 25) was successfully assembled in PSB1A3 by mid-October!
