1. Cloning issues: Did the double digestion of the terminator work?

  • The EcoRI was old and might have failed

SpeI not very efficient in EcoRI buffer, run longer ligation didn't work, keep trying


2.Copper precipitation assay Pick a concentration from the cell growth assay 1 mM Cu? Grow shaking, at time points spin out the cells and measure the absorbance assaying for loss of copper


3. Does phsABC confer copper resistance? 96-well plate assay same as before, but with the phsABC plasmid


4. Cu resistance shipping in a day or two pRJ1004 (Cu efflux protein) (Jon) will email massive plasmid, no antibiotic resistance Get together next week to request several plasmids Tuesday morning at 10 am.

5. Email Kara about the mold (Jon)

6. Ways to get students involved (Dan email the group) Ask when they're available, delegate a task make sure someone is there to help them
