Today, we spent the day making Top10 competent cells from the original Invitrogen source. They were made competent through the method involving CaCl<sub>2</sub>. We considered using electroporation as a method of making cells competent but it is not cost-effective to do this with so many cells. The cells were made and will be stored in the -80&deg;C freezer until use. The procedure for making competent cells as well as transforming DNA into them can be found in our online Lab Protocols.  As a group, we came together and combined the ideas that we had as possible projects for the summer. We ended up narrowing the ideas down to:
-

* Bacteria producing vanilla-flavoured alcool

* Bacteria that produced cheap hydrogen that could possibly power fuel cells

Today, we made ''E. coli'' cells competent and able to uptake DNA through the method involving CaCl<sub>2</sub>. As well, we came up with several project ideas that we thought were feasible to attempt as a summer project. We narrowed the ideas down to

* Bacteria producing vanilla-flavoured alcohol

-
* Bacteria that detected vanilla in food products
+
-
* Bacteria producing hydrogen that could possibly power fuel cells
+
* Directed Evolution as a technique

Today, we spent the day making Top10 competent cells from the original Invitrogen source. They were made competent through the method involving CaCl2. We considered using electroporation as a method of making cells competent but it is not cost-effective to do this with so many cells. The cells were made and will be stored in the -80°C freezer until use. The procedure for making competent cells as well as transforming DNA into them can be found in our online Lab Protocols. As a group, we came together and combined the ideas that we had as possible projects for the summer. We ended up narrowing the ideas down to:

  • Bacteria producing vanilla-flavoured alcool
  • Bacteria that produced cheap hydrogen that could possibly power fuel cells
  • Directed Evolution as a technique
  • Bacteria that detected vanilla in food products for those with vanilla allergies
  • A circuit that would be able to assemble DNA easily in one day
  • A protein troubleshooting kit that could be used to determine what was going wrong with a protein
