Plasmid experiment
- Vibrio plasmid experiment -possible source of lux operon
- [1] - Transformation protocol for students from basics - includes several plasmids

- set plasmid 555 into a BioBrick
- replace the promoter? sensitivity tuners?
Transformation Experiment to test Firefly luciferase in registry
- Firefly luciferase is in the registry as BBa_I712019, and have been sent to us as part of the spring 2010 distribution. We need to find a new vector with a bacterial ribosyme binding site, initiator, and a stop codon. Having searched via the catalog in the plasmids section, then in expression plasmids, we have selected a constitutive plasmid.
- The plasmid selected is BBa_JI3002, which is a TetR repressed POPS/RIPS generator, again part of the spring 2010 distribution - kit plate 1, well 13B, plasmid pSB1A2. It was proven to work by UMN iGEM 2009.
