Lab Diary

Thu 12th July

  • IPTG induced GFP revived ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J04430 BBa_J04430])
Test biobrick revival process

Fri 13th July

  • Alfalfa Seeds Planted (in Agar)
Growing alfalfa plants, to get leaves from which to extract DNA for the caffeic acid-3-o-methyltransferase gene (part of the vanillin synthesis pathway)
  • Biobricks [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0241 BBa_E0241] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J45700 BBa_J45700] revived, using modified protocal from open wetware site

Mon 16th July

  • Begin DNA extraction from Bamboo
Test DNA extraction process from plants
  • Prepared mini preps for GFP and mint genes

Tue 17th July

  • Alfalfa Transferred to compost
  • DNA containing GFP and mint genes extracted from E.Coli

Wed 18th July

  • Double digest GFP and mint mini preps, using restriction enzymes SpeI and EcoRI. These were then run on a polyacramide gel
  • Biobrick ECFP [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0422 BBa_E0422] revived and transformed into E.coli JM109 competent cells

Thu 19th July

  • Repeat of double digest (using SpeI & EcoRI) of GFP and mint mini preps with increased concentration of DNA
  • Replate colonies of ECFP, 4 overnight cultures prepared for making DNA mini preps

Fri 20th July

  • Prepared GFP and winter green biobricks for sequencing
  • Revived Pseudamonas fluorescens from freeze dried culture (P. fluorescens contains two genes, ech and fcs, which are part of the synthetic vanillin biosynthesis pathway)
  • Made 4 mini preps of ECFP
  • Designed primers for ech and fcs genes

Mon 23rd July

  • Ran gels for ECFP mini preps
Restriction digested using XbaI and PstI


Tue 24th July

  • Annealed dif F & R oligoes, restriction digested with SacI & SpeI, ligated with BioBrick vector Edinbrick 1


Wed 25th July

  • Transformed dif F & R DNA into E.coli, incubated at 37C overnight
  • designed primers for Sam5 and Sam8 genes (part of vanillin biosynthesis pathway)
