    2. 5ul of Redigested P1 5G with E/X and heat inactivated at 60degC for 10min.

• Recieved M30109 and CP919.

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.

3 Sept 2007

4 Sept 2007

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

5 Sept 2007

  2. ComP (Kan plate)
  3. 6kb band from undigested M30109
  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

13 Sept 2007
