5:30 Action points from last meeting:
- Alisa& Pat: Wiki "Parts_used status" up to date? -(outstanfding from 19/7/07)
- Jan: Lecture Timetables spread sheet to be emailed to all->on google groups
- Pat & Alisa: Plan for red light receptor on wiki -(outstanding from 3/8/07)
- Alisa, Paul & Jan: Review blue light theory - done
- Jan:Theory for blue light on wiki-done
- Jan:ComP fusion to be ordered.- 31 August shipping
- Jan:Production of sequence for blue light receptor? " -designed
- Jan:Plan for blue light on wiki by 17th August- Done (needs more details- coundn't implement this)
- Jan:<b/>Order red and blue filters.-dropped
- <b>Paul: Status of #BBa-M30109 & #BBa-V1012 lost in transit?- Phil to chase (one unmarked tube arrived)
- Craig: Alkaline lysis technique for miniprep to be documented
- Cheng: Daisy to produce competent cells of DB3.1 and Enz- strains.- waiting on strains still
5:45 Status Reports: (5 minutes each including any discussion)
- Alisa: Ligation experiments progress.
- Attempting ligation of RBS to LacZ reporter.
- Pat & Alisa: Red light receptor progress/design/plan- needs?
- phase 1 osmolarity test of YFP under enz
- phase 2 Red light driving YFP
- Nothing planned for this week due to academic load.
- Jan: Blue light receptor design/plan - needs?
- Jan will talk to physics about prism, nothing else planned this week
- Phil: Gas vesicles progress/design/plan - needs?
- Plan up to basic biobrick complete,
- First mutagenesis complete: 4 changes sucessfull independently , 4 unsucessfull. Unsuccesssfull changes correlated with Tm of primers will repeat with longer melting periods. Test of primer design systems yeilded varying results, Best(30colonies: 2/3 good) was stratagene program followed by jeremy's(Wehi offset design)(13 colonies 0/3 good) followed by steves (complementary hand design to stratagenes rules)(3 colonies 1/3 good). On this basis Phil had entered statagene designed primers on geneworks order form, Alisa to submit for Friday delivery.
- Need to check expression of gas vesicles Chris to perform.
- Plan for support parts/test harness required.
- Lac promotor and antibiotic death plasmids required.
- Kasia: Documentation progress vs last report/ new problems/ needs.-No report
6.15 New Agenda Items:
- Alisa: Introduces Chris Loo.
- Phil: Administrative Timetable: (11 Weeks to go)
- Next meeting: <b/> 17th August (Friday) 5.30PM.

.
Documentation wiki status:
- Priority should be on plans and experimental report analysis and conclusions-----Alisa .
- If only Pat & Alisa doing lab work not much documentation needed.
- Equipement:
- MissingLas3000 method (in lab notebook)
- Missing DNA measurement protocol (eppendorf)
- Reagents pages incomplete:
- Some location pictures not finished or uploaded.
- Some newer reagents not entered.
- Secondary reagents pages not made:
- LB, Plates, TAE , NZY+ Broth
- Protocol part:
- No connections from Protocols to reagents.
- Ligation protocol missing
- Lab notebook:
- Format uses too many lines to see connections between days.
- Latter part missing links
- Can table of contents be restricted to date level?
- Experimental reports:
- Lacks discussion/conclusion
- Ligation experiment missing
- Lattest few gells not marked up and entered.
- Project overview link broken
- Background:
- GFP missing ,
- Red photo sensor to GFP test harness missing.
- Plan: Only Gas vesicles plan entered.
