Strain Characterization

By Hugo

I'm working in some growth curves, today I tested a different amount of inoculum than yesterday.

Alkane degradation

Transformation

Yesterday's ligation mixes were transformed into TOP10 competent cells and plated out onto CAM plates.

Ligation kinetics

Yesterday's ligation mixes were transformed into TOP10 competent cells and plated out onto CAM plates.

Digestions

Alkane Degradation parallel attempt

Yesterdays plates all contained colonies. But since this is a two way ligation, we expect a lot of religated backbones, so false positive colonies. That is why we performed a colony PCR.

We picked 5 colonies from each plate.

Lane description

# Description Expected size (bp) OK?
1 Smartladder n/a Yes
2-6 014 3000+ No
7-11 020 2100+ No
12-16 304 342 Maybe
17-21 327 310 Maybe

Because the gels are inconclusive about biobrick 304 and 327 we decided to isolate the plasmids and send them to BaseClear for sequencing.
