JG
Miniprep J61003+Enny and Benny+J61003
Minis are in -20
ML
Brought the tubes labelled "sequencing rxns" up to MBSU
Also brought some XBA 1 from fermentas freezer since we ran out
Digests JG's miniprep with Xbal and PST. Ran out of out of XBA during digests, which meant that EJ 4,5,6only digested with XBA for 35 min
Colony O/N of I0500/ J61003 and Buddy/J61003
October 2
VH-1PM
No Kan plates therefore made kan plates
On COuntertop
Miniprepped ML's overnights from OCt 1
Lysis solution is a no go
Started new O/N of previows overnights for tomorrow
No more LB
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).

MC - 800hrs
Autoclaved 2 bottosl of Ependorf tupes- to be picked up from G308
Transform THolase into XL10 gold plates
Miniprep of 10500+J61003 O/N
ML
Digest of 10500+J61003 with ECORI and XBA
Housekeeping complete
Note to Justin: Samples to sequence are in -20 labelled "Justin! Sequence me"
CZ - 7:00pm
Ran gel of I0500/J61003
It looks like I05oo is in J61003 but have to confirm with Justin or Michelle or Erin.
NB: please note the lab is unavailable EVERY wednesday from 1400-1700hrs
October 4
NK - 930
VH - 2pm
Cleaned up 37 degree
Moved 30th plates of I0500+JG and Buddy+j6 to 4 degree fridge
Disposed of really disgusting plates
Got ride of I0500 ovrnights that hve been on shaker for a wek now
CHecke thoolase kan plates
Showing blue dots so far and af we white doets
Left plates in 37 celsious room
JP
Sequencing of 3 primer of DBS
Ligate I0500 eco/spe into J61003 (eco/xba)
WM - Primers for colony PCR and sequencing are as follows:
Primer 1 (3' end of I725021) CTGGTTGGCTGGGTCGTAAATCC
Primer 2 (3' end of I725022) GACGCTATGACCGCTTTCATCG
Primer 3 (3' end of I725023) CTACGAAGGTACCTCCGAAGTTC
Primer 4 (3' end of I725024) CGCTGATCTCCGAACTGAAAGAC
Primer 5 (3' end of I725025) CTGCGTCCGGTTAACGCTTCC
VF and VR as per BioBricks
Performed Colony PCR on 10 candidates for BuOP1 (I725021 + I725022) using Primer1 and VR (expect 1063 bp band if good)
Expect
Colonies 1 and 8 look good. Sequence with Primer 1.
October 5
JG/MC - 800hrs
Ran gel of i0500 and buddy
Digest #4 J61003/I0500 Digest Eco/xba with Pst to drop out of GFP
Ran gel of I0500J61003 eco/xba
ML
Gel completd and took photos
Buddy and I0500 digested
Extracted gel
Labelled I0500 purify Oct5 and Buddy Purify oct 5
CZ - Sorry I can't make it for personal reasons.
WM - BuOP1.1 and BuOP1.8 both sequenced good from nt 1096 to 1816.
Also ran a verifying digest on BuOP1 O/Ns
BuOP1/XbaI + SpeI (expect 2149 and 1709 bp if good)
BuOP1.1 and .8 both look good.
