19 Aug 2007

• Picked 3-4 transformants from "ligation" plates (17/8) and Grew up liquid cultures.
• Transformed the two ligation reactions in the pink rack in the cold room and plated on Gen + Amp plate.

20 Aug 2007

• Miniprepped liquid cultures from 19/8 labeled LA, LB, LC and P2 13K A, P2 13K B.
• Concentration of DNA was measured to be:
  A- 221ng/ul

• Made Glycerol Stocks of P2 13K using dry ice method.

21 Aug 2007

• Picked 4 colonies from fresh ligation/transformation to Growing up.

- These transformations were made as follows:

• • Ligated
    1. 5ul of Purified insert from 17/8 (CI-2 E/S)
    2. 5ul of Redigested P1 5G with E/X and heat inactivated at 60degC for 10min.

• Recieved M30109 and CP919.

22 Aug 2007

• Miniprepped L1-L4 (liquid cultures from 21/8).
• Digested these for ligations.

• Gel purified 450bp band from L3 and a 950bp band from the P2 13K digest.

• Ligated the following:

OmpR-L3 (RBS-LacZa-double term)
-Vector= P1 15P S/P (above)
-Insert= L3 X/P (above)

Ligations were kept overnight at 4degC.

23 Aug 2007

• Transformed ligations from 22/8 into competent NM522 cells.

24 Aug 2007

• Liquid cultures were made of transformations from 23/8. 6 colonies were picked from each ligation.

Week 10

26 Aug 2007

• Ligated
  1. M30109 S/P to ompR-L3 X/P
  2. M30109 S/P to ompR-c1 inv X/P

(all from 25/8) Left overnight at 4degC.

27 Aug 2007

• Transformed
  1. M30109 S/P to ompR-L3 X/P (26/8)
  2. M30109 S/P to ompR-c1 inv X/P (26/8)
  3. P1 15P-L3 (from 22/8)
  4. P1 15P-c1 inverter (from 22/8)

Plated on Amp plates.

28 Aug 2007

• Picked six colonies from each plate (27/8) and cultured at 37degC for 13 hours.

29 Aug 2007

• Miniprepped 24 cultures from 29/8.
• Diagnosted all with X/S.
• Ran on a Gel

-The M30109 ligations yielded random fragments: something wrong with the part? - P1 15P-L3 and P1 15P-c1 inverter ligations had bands of the desired size.

30 Aug 2007

• Set up minipreps from 29/8 for sequencing.

OmpR-L3 and OmpR-c1 inverter were the desired sequences.

Parts created:

OmpR-RBS-LacZa-double terminator

OmpR-c1 inverter

Week 11

2 Sept 2007

• Digested and Ran on a Gel M30109 minipreps from 25/8 using a number of restriction enzymes to try to find out what it is:

• 1. EcoRV
  2. Xho1
  3. EcoRV/Xho1
  4. E/P
  5. E/S
  6. E/X
  7. X/P
  8. X/S
  9. S/P
  10. E
  11. P
  12. S
  13. EcoR1/EcoRV/Xho1
  14. Apa1
  15. BamH1
  16. EcoR1/BamH1

The results showed that although a fragment of cph8 may be present in the part (1200bp fragment present only when double digested by EcoRV/Xho1), it may not be in the form as designated in the iGEM wiki.

The original miniprep was sent off for sequencing using vf2. The results showed that the part is a form of RBS-cph8, although the sequencing got cut off in the middle of the cp8 sequence. Therefore, the entire part designated is not present. We consequently decided to create the M30109 part ourselves.

4 Sept 2007

• Made LB (600ml) + LB-agarose (400ml)
• Created Agar Plates with Kan.

5 Sept 2007

  4. 10kb band from undigested M30109
  5. RBS-LacZa-double terminator from 22/8
  6. OmpR-RBS-LacZa-double terminator from 29/8
  7. OmpR-RBS-LacZa-double terminator from 29/8 into CP919 EnvZ- strains.

7 Sept 2007

• Liquid cultured a colony from each of the 6/9 transformations. No growth was observed for the M30109 undigested plates and were discarded.

8 Sept 2007

• Miniprepped cultures from 7/9.
• Digested these with X/P
• Ran these on a Gel.

-All had desired sizes.

• Glycerol Stocks of all four of these were created.

12 Sept 2007

• Transformed ligations from 9/9.
• Also Transformed resuspended DNA for the following:
  1. [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15008 P2 21A] (ho1)
  2. [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15009 P2 21A] (PcyA)

These did not have ligation efficiencies as high as the overnight ligations but were sufficient. The 5 min ligation seemed to have more colonies than the 2 hour ligation.

13 Sept 2007

• P4 8J and P1 5G were overgrown so were streaked onto new plates.
