Lab work

Ordered DNA + Solvent Tolerance and Hydrocarbon Sensing

The colony PCR of yesterday was put on1% agarose gel

1% agarose of colony PCR. Gel runned at 100V for 1 hour. Of all samples 10 μL + 2 μL loadingbuffer was loaded. 5 μL was loaded of marker

We harvested the 1 mL bacterial cells of possible correct transformations. The pellets were stored at -20 °C. We used 3 mL of the bacterial cells to make -80 °C stocks.

Characterization of Anderson RBS sequences

Fluorescence measurements Attempt #2

Data analysis to follow shortly (good stuff!)

Assembly of reference construct & positive control

Yesterday's digestion products of K081005 and I13401 were set for ligation over the weekend at 4 °C:

# BioBrick Fragment Recipient plasmid Final volume

3 Ligation control None 4 μL ‘E-pSB1A2 I13401-X 25 μL

To all samples with an end volume of 25 μL, 2.5 μL Ligase buffer was added.

The Birnboim method was used to isolate J23100 and I13522 (both in pSB1A2) from the o/n 5 mL LB cultures. We used 3 mL of the bacterial cells to make -80 °C stocks . The following concentrations of plasmid were obtained:
