Roll calls

  • Apologies: Phil and Deena
  • Absence: Colin Harwood, Colin Davie, Da Ye, Wendy
  • Concrete has been made, set in tubes.
  • We went to the EM facility, won't be a problem to take photos of our concrete.
  • Wiki design should be ready soon (Harsh's graphic designer friend).

Lab feedback

  • pMutin4 strain transformation is not going very well. Don't just sit and wait to see if Bacillus transformation worked, do another transformation on the assumption that it hasn't.
  • Do chromosomal preps from both strains (168 and 168 with pMutin4), transform with the chromosome from the opposite strain.
  • As an alternative approach, Jem's LacI plasmid is here, details will be given on a sheet.
  • SR1 transformed. Check that it is coming in pSB1C3 too.
  • Hyperspank
  • fluoresence reader and microscope
  • Fluostar (Phil Aldridge/Richard?)
  • Transformations of LacI E. coli strain today
  • Hyperspankoid in pSB1C3
  • Arabinose repressor in pSB1AK3. Has to go into BS.

Concrete

  • Try
  • Need to make the levans plates with "iGEM" letters
  • Try to stick our concrete sticks together

Modelling

Flux balance analysis on wiki by next week

Action points

  • Neil and Jen - To register the team.
  • Alan - To email Jen about the IPTG plasmid and the letters for the sucrose plates.
  • Harsh - To crack the concrete into smaller pieces.
  • Wendy - To talk to the EM people.

Next meeting

  • Chair: Jannetta, Minutes: Steven, Computer: Alan
  • Wednesday morning, 9am, CBCB.
