8/11/10

Digested and ran a gel of CHS3 and backbone plasmids (C,T,K,A)

Tested restriction enzymes by digesting circular plasmids with each enzyme individually --> should see 1 2500kb band

Organized the DNA samples in our -20.


8/12/10

Weekly meeting

  • Went over our gels --> identified faulty parts (holin1, holin2, CHS3-pMal, CP-LacPI)
  • Plan to re-kit to stock and reassemble

Decided to use an alternative stain because calcofluor results in too much background and our confocal microscope can not excite in the UV spectrum


8/13/10

Methanol fixation of yeast and E.Coli cells --> stained with rhodamine-conjugated chitin probe (allowed to incubate overnight)

Competency of ChiA knockouts = 2.5x10^7 and 5.0x10^6

Cycles 1 of File:MAGE for tqsA Knockouts.
