WM is Wayne Materi (a team advisor) in the following.

WM- Assembling all the individual genes into an operon in order of their role in the butanoate pathway from KEGG. We will start with I725021 (RBS + B-hydroxy butyryl coA dehydrogenase in the B0034 plasmid - pSB1A2)then insert I725022 (RBS + Enoyl-coa hydratase), then I725023 (RBS + Butyryl coa Dehydrogenase), then I725024 (RBS + Butyraldehyde dehydrogenase), and finally I725025 (RBS + Butanol dehydrogenase). After the operon is constructed and verified, we will insert the Arabinose promoter from I0500 5' to all the genes.

Digest I725021/SpeI+PstI and gel purify ~3kb band Digest I725022/SpeI+PstI and gel purify ~1.2kb band

Ligate (Got 16 colonies vs. 10 for negative ctl).
