Mon, 6th August 2007
From 11 until 14 o'clock
Present were : Corinna, Dario, Kristian, Moritz, Natalia, Philipp
Discussion of the result from last week
Planning the sites for the specific iGEM-cutting sites:
- ca. 20% done.
blac1-calmodulin-blac2:
- Test of the background with concentrations of ampicillin
till 200 µl/ml; all positive! Planning the PCB:
- Requesting information about the complete plasmid;
Waiting for answer
- Planning a strategy to clone parts from the iGEM-Kit, in
the case that we have to put the plasmid together ourself
dhfr1-winzip-dhfr2a:
- The last sequencing showed failures on the construct.For
the new sequencing were another clon selected. The DNA for the next sequence has
been already prepared.
Planing-strategy for Fhy1 and PhyA:
- possible combinations were: dhfr1-Fhy1; PhyA-dhfr2; blac1-
Fhy1; PhyA-blac2; Combinations with YFP/CFP could be clone by Urs.

one overnight culture from Glycerol stock - Mini prep - Digestion (Philipp,
Natalia)
2. Digestion and sequencing of plasmid pFR320dp-blac1-calmo-blac2:
- unclear finding; Repeating digestion with more DNA and more
enzyme, shorter time for the gel electrophoresis
3. Primer for PhyA and Fhy1: is running (Moritz)
4. PCB: is running (Moritz)
5. Purification of constructs blac1-4-calmo-4-blac2: - low growth of the
overnight-culture; also low growth in the expression culture
possible explanation: wrong CAM-concentration,

AflIII, result showed all the expected bands
- Running a gel of the digestion from plasmid pFR320_b1_#calmo#_b2, result
didn't showed all the expected bands,
possible mistakes: volume of the plasmid or the
gel-running time was too long.
- Repetition of the digestion of plasmid pFR320_b1_#calmo#_b2 with SpeI und KpnI.
- Measurements of the OD form expression culture pFR320p_blac1_4calmo4_blac2 (from
Corinna):
OD value were to low and nothing growth. The experiment must
be repeated. Is going to be probably with pFR320p_blac1_2calmo2_blac2 repeated.
Max (12 - 16 o´clock):
- Counting the colonies of the 320dp b1-calmo-b2 constructs at different concentration of Amp showed extremely
high growth, so we could not say anything about the functionality of our constructs.
as we figured out, the Amp we used was too old and maybe denaturated.
- Preparation of 20 1ml aliquots with ampicilline (100mg/ml) for new plates and dilution series of the
constructs

-Several side works
Fr, 10th August 2007
Moritz (9 - 14 o´clock):
- preperation of an overnight culture from Transformation - Plates:
The colonies grow to an high density! The plates could contain the wrong antibiotic (unfortunately I recognized it too late) that is why the Colis (RV 308) could have lost the plasmid!!
- Primer design (PhyA u. FHY1) is nearly completed.

Max (12.30 - 14.00 o´clock):
- Counting of the colonies at the plates with different concentration of Amp; the cells which had the 2- and 6
glycines linker showed inhibited growth on higher concentrations of Amp. The cells with the 4 glycines linker
didnt growth at all besides the 400µg Amp plate, whioch showed 4 lonely colonies.
we should make another dilution series with clone nr1 320dp b1-4calmo4-b2 on different calcium titers!
Su, 12th August 2007
Corinna: (13.00 -14.15 o´clock)
- Preparation of the overnigth cultures from the glycerol stocks with the cells with different linker-lenghts (always clone 1 was used) at 28 °C; Cell-growth should be monitored, because in the last overnigth culture assay the cell growth was too low (with linker-lenght AAcids).
