September, 30th

Tecan Test Nico

Transformation of I73 (1ul) into E. coli TOP10. It was plated on LB+Amp 100 ug/ml agar plate.

Trasformation of:

• I70 (myYeast with I4, Ptef1-mOrange-tAdh1) in TOP10 and plated on LB+Amp
• I71 (myYeast with I1, mOrange-tAdh1) in TOP10 and plated on LB+Amp
• I72 (pLac-RFP in pSB4C5) in TOP10 and plated on LB+Cm 12,5

All plates were incubated at 37°C ON

Since I55 was negative again we decided to ligate it again (probably we had a bad digest for vector - I20 - and a good one for insert - we used I38 in other ligations without problems). We diegested already miniprepped DNA for three hours with 1 ul of enzymes:

• I20: (E-X)

Gel run/cut/extraction/quantification

I20 E-X digest.

I20 E-X: 13,4 ng/ul

We repeated I55 ligation using newly digested vector and already digested I38 (E-S)

I55: I38 (E-S) + I20 (E-X)

Inoculum into 5ml LB+Amp of:

• I31
• I35
• I37
• I57
• I60
• INTEIN
• 3x <partinfo>BBa_J04450</partinfo> (to take <partinfo>pSB1C3</partinfo>, so <partinfo>pSB1C3</partinfo> from now on)

Cultures were let grow ON at 37°C, 220 rpm.

Inoculum of E. coli TOP10 in 1,5 ml LB, grown ON at 37°C 220 rpm. Tomorrow we will prepare competent cells!!

Inoculum of:

• S1 in 500ul M9+Cm 12,5
• I47-S1 in 500ul M9+Amp+Cm 12,5
• GFP-S1 in 500ul M9+Amp+Cm 12,5
• RBS32 in 500ul M9+Amp

Cultures were grown ON at 37°C 220 rpm.

Tomorrow we will test the ability of these str.ains to produce GFP and to lyse when HSL is added.

October, 1st

This morning, we checked tranformed plates:

• I72 showed NO colony!! :/ we will repeat this ligation next week
• I70 and I71 showed colonies, 5 for each plate were picked and inoculated in 1ml LB+Amp to prepare glycerol stocks and for screening.
• I73 showed colonies; six of them were picked and inoculated into 5 ml LB+Amp and let grow ON at 37°C, 220rpm in order to do E-P screeening the following day.

Transformation of I55 into E. coli DH5-alpha. It was plated on LB+Amp 100 agar plate and let grow ON at +37°C.

October, 2nd

PCR from colony for I55 (six colonies were picked).

Gel run:

(foto)

As you can see...

Inoculum into 5 ml LB+Amp of the positive culture that was let grow ON at 37°C, 220 rpm.

Miniprep and quantification for I73-1/2/3/4/5/6:

• I73-1:
• I73-2:
• I73-3:
• I73-4:
• I73-5:
• I73-6:

1,5 hours E-P digest (for screening) and gel run

(foto)

As you can see they are (except for I73-X) all positive. So we stocked I73-1 and stored it at -80°C.

Transformation of I74 and INTEIN_C3 (1ul) in E. coli TOP10. They were plated on LB+Amp100 and LB+Cm34 agar plates respectively. They were let grow ON at +37°C.
