Results



The pILI1 plasmid


The transformed bacteria had been spread on LB agar plate, with or without 7% of glucose and RedNile dye. As you can see on the photos below, the bacteria appear pink colored directly on plates supplemented with glucose. However, the control without glucose doesn't reveal a pink coloration.



Plates with pILI1 LB with or without Glucose 7% and RedNile dye.



With a liquid culture on LB complemented with glucose (7%) and RedNile dye, we observed the fluorescence by microscopy.

The separated genes


We extracted the gene phaC from the plasmid of synthesis of Mr Gene. The gene had been successfully transferred in the pSBC3 plasmid. We send the product to the registry: BBa_K342001

IGEM Registry Biobricks


When we tried to check the final ligation, we realized that we weren't able to cut either the new operon either the phaC gene with the Xba1 enzyme : when cutting by Xba1 and Pst1 we obtained a single band corresponding to the size of our whole plasmid. When cutting by Pst1 only, we obtained the same result whereas when we tried to cut by Xba1 we got several bands like for a circular plasmid. We then tried to cut the phaC gene with Xba1 and we aslo obtained the same pattern as the one of a circular plasmid.
With more time we could have tried to design a primer with the iGEM restriction sites and see if we were able to cut the new sequence.
