Things to read about:

  • Does barnase have DNase activity? Haven't really found anything saying that it has DNase activity yet, but it is a ribonuclease that destroys all the RNA and targets the ribosome, which in turn, stops DNA synthesis such that those bacteria should no longer be able to replicate and grow.
  • Is there a way to do dapi (pronounced dap-E) measurements for e.coli? dapI binds to DNA, wonder if can use a cytometer or something? Do a dapi stain? YES! Can do a dapi stain in e.coli and then do measurements with a flow cytometer.
  • Make sure that we're not just making a toxic protein or that Cre itself is toxic or something like that.


So I'm having a lot of trouble isolating the plasmid of 411B


  • Miniprep 408C, 408E, and 411B
  • Sequence 408C, 408E, and 411B
  • Make -80s of 408C, 408E, and 411B
  • Pool I716430 through I716435
  • Look at spotted plates
