Research feedback
- Levan glue - Levan requires sucrose to work
- Test how much sucrose is needed - Phil
- Kill switch - Use of mazE and mazF
- How much sucrose is needed for it to work?
- How fast does the bug use up all the sucrose?
- Stochastic switch - Use of hinC as the invertase
- Matt to work with Phil to work out the probability of the switching
- Have to work out what is wrong with the iGEM 2009 stochastic switch first
- Gibson protocol
- rocF to require 6 pair of primers, therefore try doing up 2 fragments first
- Protocol for yneA
- Do up the characterization separately, one bacteria to contain "yneA" to show filamentous, the other to have the lacI
- Could have nice photo with the different morphology on agar
- Do not shine UV light on during the gel extraction step to avoid DNA mutation
- Make up lots of DNA to allow better transformation
Lab feedback
- Arginine test - Alan and Harsh
- Test worked fine.
- Could refine the test by using universal liquid pH indicator or to use the pH meter
- DNA extraction - Harsh and Racheal
- Could only confirm the result on 27.07.2010
Wiki
- Not able to do the drop down menu with the shadow test, therefore could try using htm5
- Horizontal strip to change to purple
