Week 1


  • 26 June 2007

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

  1. Resuspended the following parts in 15uL:
    • P1 3O (BBa_B0034, RBS, Amp)
    • P1 5G (BBa_C0051, c1 protein, Amp)
    • P2 3P (BBa_B0010, Terminator, Amp)
  • Think some DNA may have remained in wells
  1. Transformed into competent DH5alpha cells from Joe

Streak plates

  1. Streaked the following cells:

Transformation

  1. Repeated transformation of failed parts from Monday:
    1. P2 21A (Kan)
    2. P2 21C (Kan)
  • Used resuspended DNA that was stored on Monday

Liquid culture

  1. Prepared 30mL of Amp LB (100ug/mL). Prepared 5mL Kan LB (50mg/mL).
  2. Aliquoted 5mL Amp LB into 6 50mL falcon tubes
  3. To the Amp LB aliquots single transformed colonies from plates of the following were introduced:
  4. To the Kan LB a single colony from the transformation plate of BBa_I15010 was introduced.
  5. Cells incubated at 37degrees with shaking overnight.

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.

Tranformation

Transformed the following and grew on new ampicillin plates

  • P1 5H
  • P4 8J
  • P2 15L
    • Also Plated an untransformed control (subjected to transformation protocol in absense of DNA) and a blank plate control (no cells)
