The J37033 biobrick (LuxR) never seems to work. Each time we cut it with the enzymes, we don't get a 700bp band as expected. Maybe the biobrick is wrong? Aleksandra ordered primers to amplify the sequence (the primers are on the plasmid backbone flanking the prefix and the suffix). We'll try to get this part from the 2007 distribution plates and also assemble the RBS/LuxR ourselves from 2 parts.

Overnight culture of 10ml LB + Kanamicin with the bacterial colony on the attc-t-attC-term plate from 07/15 (the colonies appeared only on the 07/19). We're not sure it's the transformation that worked, but we want to make sure.
