- We amplified some bio- bricks of interest for our project from the IGEM plates. We resuspended and transformed:
-BBa_ J04430 to test the GFP fluorescence detection with our experimental set up
-BBa_J04431 to test the GFP (+LVA) half-life since we needed a GFP with a short one for our project.
- BBa_J04500, the PLac promoter inducible by IPTG;
- BBa_J04631, the GFP (+LVA) protein.
- We straked on plates with the right antibiotic.

- We performed a test for GFP induction with IPTG. We picked a colony from the J04430 plate and grew it till a OD 0.4 – 0.6. We added 1 mM IPTG to induce GFP expression.
- We picked a colony from 07/17 plates and inoculated in 5 ml of LB medium from each plate and incubated overnight.
- 07/19/07
- We induced GFP expression from J04431 and J04430. Althought the first worked rigth in presence of IPTG, the second didn't. So, we performed a run on electroforesis gel for the J04430 plasmid. We found that it didn't match the rigth molecular weight. We thougth maybe there's something wrong with the plasmid.
