(K.G)
Objective: Ligate together rbs-xylE and dT, lumazine and dT, also pLacI and sRBS.

Method: All ligation mixes had:

  • 10X T4 Ligation Buffer
  • Milli-Q H2O to fill to 20µL
  • T4 DNA Ligase
  • 20ng plasmid DNA

Ligations were left over-night at room temperature.

(J.V.)
Objective:Determine the results of the transformations done by K.G. on July 15/2010.

Method: Inoculate 5mL LB media w/Amp and colony. Incubated over night at 37oC.

Results: Lumazine Synthase with dT ligated onto it grew.

(AV, HB)
Objective:Miniprep lumazine-dt and 4 N-terminus tags and analyze.

Method:

  • Use boiling lysis miniprep to isolate plasmid DNA.
  • PCR amplify BioBrick part to determine if the correct DNA was isolated.
  • Ran a 1% Agarose gel to visualize PCR products.

Results: Agarose gel did not show any bands.

(in lab: JV, AV, HB)

Objective: To miniprep the overnight cultures of the parts ordered from the Parts Registry and to test the efficiency of the Qiagen Miniprep Kit.

Method:
The following parts were miniprep'd using Boiling Lysis Plasmid Preparation:

  • dT (control)
  • E0020 (ECFP)
  • E0030 (EYFP)
  • K249001
  • K249004
  • K249005
  • K249006
  • K249008
  • K249014
  • K249017

The following parts were miniprep'd using Qiagen Miniprep Kit:

  • K249005
  • K249008

Results: Qiagen Miniprep Kit produced a comparable quantity of DNA to Boiling Lysis Plasmid Preparation. Since the Qiagen Miniprep Kit is faster and easier, all minipreps will be done using the Qiagen Miniprep Kit.
