Week 1
25 June 2007
Prepared LB agar plates.
Transformation
- resuspended the following from Registry plates:
- Punctured foil with pipette tip.
- Resuspended in 15uL ddH2O.
- Stored in-20 (after taking 1uL for transformation).
- Transformed into competent DH5alpha cells with shorter incubation times as follows:
- 30min on ice after DNA addition
- 10min on ice after heat shock
- 30min at 37degrees with LB

Transformation from Monday
- Transformation of BBa_I15008 and BBa_I15009 failed. No colonies on plates
- Small number of colonies on BBa_R0084 plate.
- Placed in cool room
Transformation
- Resuspended the following parts in 15uL:
- Think some DNA may have remained in wells
- Transformed into competent DH5alpha cells from Joe
Streak plates
- Streaked the following cells:
- pJS010 (from solid agar, Amp)
- Fusion protein (from glycerol stock, Amp?)
- BBa_I15010 (from solid agar, Kan)
27 June 2007
Transformation
- Used resuspended DNA that was stored on Monday
Liquid culture
- Prepared 30mL of Amp LB (100ug/mL). Prepared 5mL Kan LB (50mg/mL).
- Aliquoted 5mL Amp LB into 6 50mL falcon tubes
- To the Amp LB aliquots single transformed colonies from plates of the following were introduced:
- To the Kan LB a single colony from the transformation plate of BBa_I15010 was introduced.
- Cells incubated at 37degrees with shaking overnight.

- Stored in -20 freezer

Ampicillin Plates
- Made up 25 Ampicillin plates using 400mL LB agar prepared on the 25th of June.
- Used 100mg/ml Ampicillin stock from Gooley Lab - In bag in left freezer near our lab bench.
