Week 1

Tuesday 3 July 2007

  1. Maija and Christine prepared LB broth and LB agar with Protocol 1. Made 4 batches of plates, 2 with kanamycin and 2 with carbenicillin.

Wednesday 4 July 2007

  1. All wetlab researched BioBricks.
  2. Reporter constructs and mini-Tn5 stocks looked out.
  3. Streaked the following:
    • P. putida PAW 340 pJAK14 (Carb. plate)
    • Tn5 lux AB (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 lux AB (Carb. plate)
    • P. fluorescens NCIMB 9815 (Carb. plate)
    • P. putida KT2440 (LB)
    • JM109 pBluescript 5k+ (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 Tc (Carb. Plate)
    • pQF52 (Carb. plate)
    • P. fluorescens 9815 (LB)
    • E. coli pJAK14 (Km plate)
    • Il DntR in pOF52 (Carb. plate)
    • pUCINR in Ω strain C (Carb. plate)
    • pGLTUR (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 Kan (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 Sm/Sp (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 1cc2 (Carb. plate)
    • E. coli Sa1 (LB)
    • DmpR #24 (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 lac 32 in E. coli 517 (Carb. plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 Tc (Carb. Plate)
    • Mini-Tn5 Cm (Carb. plate)
    • DmpR WT (Carb. plate)
    • E.coli sm 10 pESD15 Tn5 GFP (Carb. plate)
    • pUJ8 (Carb. Plate)

Thursday 5 July 2007

  1. BioBricks – Maija and Scott transformed using Protocol 2.
    • BBa_p1010 (DB3.1) (death gene plasmid) Plate 4: 7A – p5B1A10, 11E – p5B1A10 and 11C – p5B3K3
    • BBa_IS2001 (Top10) (high copy number plasmid) Plate 4: 5I – p5B4A5, 5D – p5B4K5, 6B – p5B3K5, 6D – p5B4K5 and 6E – p5B4A5 (Also 5K, 5M, 4J, 4L, 4N, 4P)
    • BBa_J23119 (Top 10) (strong constitutive promoter) Plate 3: 19A – pB1A2 (V1013)
    • BBa_R0062 (Top 10) (HSL and luxR inducible) Plate 1: 9G – pSB1A2 (V1004)
    • BBa_J04500 (Top 10) (IPTG inducible prom + RBS) Plate 1: 16P – p5B1AK3 (V1009)
    • BBa_E0040 (Top 10) (GFP mutant no promoter (3b)) Plate 1: 5H – p5B1A2 (V1001)
  2. Maia and Christine researched restriction enzymes for the reporter constructs and Mini-Tn5s streaked on 4/7/07 and digested some. Had planned to make biobricks using Mini-Tn5s etc but discovered that a previous attempt to use transposable elements to make biobricks had been unsuccessful due to scarring at the restriction site. http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J61206

Friday 6 July 2007

  1. Maija and Christine made 10x stocks for M9 (see Protocol 3.2 - M9).
  2. Tutorial in BioEdit and Primer3.
  3. Started designing primers for amplification and site directed mutagenesis of DmpR and DmpR #24 (see Protocol 4).
