Team Nevada Notebook

Week of April 11-17:

  • Bryson, Michael, Senny, Tyler
    • Made tobacco cell (NT-1) media in Dr. Shintani's lab

Week of April 18-24:

  • Bryson
    • EcoRI digest of pBIB
    • Made Na acetate buffer

Week of April 25-May 1:

  • Bryson
    • Ran agarose gel of EcoRI digest

Week of May 2-8:

Week of May 9-15:

  • Bryson
    • Ran 0.8% agarose gel of pBIB post-phenol:chloroform cleanup.
    • Did minipreps on additional pBIB liquid cultures.

Week of May 16-22:

  • Bryson
    • Klenow reactions of EcoRI digests
    • Phenol:chloroform cleanup of pBIB prior to ligation
    • Blunt-end ligation of klenowed pBIB
  • Randy Pares and Vidim Gladwell
    • Designed primers pBIB-RB-F, pBIB-RB-R, NOS 3'-Foward Nos3' reverse for sequencing the pBIB plant plasmid.

Week of May 23-29:

  • Bryson
    • Incubated 50 mL liquid culture of E. coli with pBIB (samples 3).
    • Miniprepped sample 3, using modified protocol for large/low-copy plasmids.
    • EcoRI digest of uncut sample 3
    • Prepared 5 mM dNTP stock

Week of May 30-June 5:

  • Bryson
    • HinD3 digest of uncut sample 3
    • Ran 08% gels of samples 1-5 to verify complete digestion by EcoRI
    • Pooled uncut samples 3, 4 and 5 (pBIB-pool)
    • Recieved 5 µg of pBIB from Randy and Vadim's maxi-prep (pBIB-maxi)
    • EcoRI digest of pBIB-pool and pBIB-maxi
    • Ran 0.8% agarose gel of EcoRI digests
    • Klenow reactions of pBIB-pool and pBIB-maxi
    • Made glycerol stocks of pBIB samples 1-5

Week of June 6-12:

  • Bryson
    • Ligation reactions for pBIB-pool and pBIB-maxi
    • Digested pBIB-pool and pBIB-maxi again with EcoRI to linearize any unmodified pBIB
    • Transformed Top-10 Cells with modified pBIB (designated pBIB#)
      • Obtained two colonies after overnight incubation
    • Line-streaked the two colonies (pBIB# 1 and pBIB# 2) on an LB-Kan plate

Week of June 13-19:

  • Bryson
    • Prepared liquid cultures of pBIB# 1 and pBIB# 2
    • Miniprepped liquid cultures of pBIB#
    • EcoRI and HinDIII digests of pBIB#
    • Ran agarose gel of pBIB cut and uncut, pBIB# uncut, pBIB# cut with EcoRI and pBIB# cut with HinDIII to confirm the absence of EcoRI site in pBIB#
    • Single-colony streaked pBIB# 2 on a fresh LB-Kan plate

Week of June 20-26:

  • Bryson
    • Selected 3 colonies from pBIB# 2 (2-1, 2-2, 2-3) and streaked on a fresh LB-Kan plate
    • Started 20 mL liquid cultures of 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3
    • Miniprepped samples
    • EcoRI and XbaI digests of samples to confirm that the EcoRI was gone and 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 arose from the same colony
    • 0.8% agarose gel of digests
