July 12
General Notes:
Calender up and running.
Meeting tonight at 7:00 in CSC 2-49.
Received Chlorobium tepidum, meeting with Dr. Jeff Fuller (with Capital Health) to discuss the use of their anaerobic chambers!! -Justin
Lab Notes:
Transformations with DH5a cells worked, but we will need to select for single colonies tonight.
Streak for single colonies of E1010, A0500, J61003.
Purification of gel slice of digested J61003.
E1010 DH5a July 12-ED, JG, AL, JB, MC, CZ
July 13
General Notes:
Everyone who is coming tonight please be present 7:00pm sharp
Lab Notes:
Started 4X5mL overnights of E1010 and I0050 at 8:30 am. Should be ready for miniprep tonight.
-ED, JB
No growth in over nights - left these shaking in 37 incubator because they may be "slow growers"
Started new overnights of E1010, I0500, and psb2k3 (all DH5alpha) at 2200hrs incubating in the incubator by the autoclave - plates were also streaked (&labeled corresponding to the tubes)
Also made overnights for massive colonies seen on 48hr growth of E1010 in XL
Made some Kan plates
-MC, JP, JG, CZ
July 14
Schedule:
AL,JP,NK
General Notes:
If you are scheduled during the day please be in the lab at 1230hrs (PM) Don't forget that the Bio-Sci doors lock at 1900hrs so if you are trying to get in after 1900hrs call 492-2911
Things to be continued today (CZ)
1. Put LB plates in 4 degree fridge
2. Plate 20 microlitre of DH5 alpha on a kan plate as a control
3. Xba1/EcoRI double digest
NOTE: Sequential digestion is needed. Start with 1 microlitre of Xba1 and 2 microlitre of 10x Tango and incubate for an hour. Then add 1 microlitre of EcoRI and 2.5 microlitre of 10X Tango and incubate for an hour.
4. Miniprep on the colonies picked on July 13 at 10pm. They are in the shaker in the back room. Note the colonies picked were also streaked on kan plates in the 37 degree incubator. Erin's colonies are in the shaker in the front room.
If you need anything else call me(Celine). Number on the blackboard. Thank you.�
<b/>Lab Notes:</b>
JP, AL, NK, JB(?)
1. Completed Mini on E10050 (4), I0500 (2), PSB2K3 (2) samples (the two labeled Erin, are those from July 13 8:30am ON's) In DNA box -20
2. Completed sequential double restriction on J61003 promoter region. Used Xba1 and EcoR1 (see protocol). sample in DNA box -20
3. Placed Kan plates at +4
July 15
Schedule:
Jp,JB,AL
General Notes:
Options:
1. complete double restriction on newly mini'd plasmids (arabinose promoter, RFP)
2. gel purify J61003 restriction products (promoter restriction sample)
3. fundraising letters!
Lab Notes:
1. ran a gel containing the digested products of the J61003 (promoter digest), snapped photo and cut out bands for extraction/purification tomorrow
2. glycerol stocks of Chlorobium tepidum
3. finished grant application forms
- JP, AL, NG, MC
July 16
Schedule:
CZ,VH,AF
General Notes:
1. Because we didn't get into lab till late (because of locked doors), did not complete restriction on newly mini'd plasmids. Can be completed today (isolate arabinose promoter and RFP)
2. All of the restriction product (for J61003 XbaI/EcoR1) were ran and cut - no sample remaining
Lab Notes:
Completed gel extraction of E,X digested J61003. (in box in -20)
Restriction digests of E1010 (X,S) and I0500 (E,x), ran on 0.8% gel. E1010 expected a band at 680bp, I0500 expected a band at 1200 bp. Got two positive lanes for E1010: XL1 and XL2 minipreps. Cut out bands and put in -20. No positive for I0500.
-VH, ED, CZ

"If I had a remote, I'd change the cd."
Anonymous, in response to the skipping music on the cd player, but much to lazy to get up and change it

July 17
Schedule:
ED,VH,AF
Lab Notes:
Gel extracted E1010 from yesterday's slices.
Mini-prep on A0500 from a culture labelled with red marker. If anyone knows what cell line is in this culture, please post.
It is I0500 and it is DH5alpha unless otherwise labelled . .. only the E1010 had both DH5alpha and XL10gold overnights -MC
Let's not do anything more with it then, because the DH5as aren't working due to them already having their own Kan resistance. - ED
Ligation of E1010 (RFP) into J61003. Used 4 different ligation conditions. These are sitting on the instructor's bench at the front of the room. These need to be transformed into XL10 Gold and plated on Amp tomorrow. Try transforming 1uL and 10uL.
-ED,JG,VH,AF

check out the jar o' love @ the front :)
Lab notes
Started 8X5mL overnights to test colonies of the RFP ligation. Hopefully JB will be available to do minipreps tomorrow. Miniprep protocol is tucked in Master Book.

General Notes:
There is now a Jar O' Love in the lab; Please do not drink chemicals from said jar o'love. Check it out - it's at the front on the instructors bench. It's to give shout outs for people who are rocking out and 'taking one for the team'.
Lab Notes:
Miniprep Lig3 (8 samples) overnights - JB
Made 1L LB broth (16 bottles) at the back to be put away in the sterile cupboards tomorrow
Ran Gel of JB's Minipreps after digestion with Xba and Spe. All of the colonies were positive (band at 1.2 kB).
Did some dishes - we should learn how to use the dishwasher

Schedule:
JP,NK,AL
General Notes:
How does 12:00pm sound?
Since it doesn't look like Nik will be showing up, maybe just call Alex and see if it works for him.
All of the ligations of RFP into J61003 turned out. They are labelled JB July 19 1-8 in the DNA box. Transform 1 of them into XL10 Gold and plate on Amp with Tetracycline plates. You will have to add the Tet to the plates beforehand. I don't know what concentraion, but James suggested 1 ug/mL. Try plating different amounts.
The reason that I am making these suggestions is that I read that XL10Golds are Tet resistant, so we can maybe induce the expression of RFP with the Tet because it is under the Tet promotor and then we can see the RFP.
As always, call me if you need anything.
-ED
Lab Notes:
1. got into building
2. waited for peers - no shows
3. tried to break into room by climbing through roof (cement goes all the way up)
4. went home... will complete work tomorrow - sorry i'll get swipe access asap...
