JULY: WEEK 3
July, 12th
Phasins PhaP1 and PhaP2 were sequenced, but none of them has a clear chromatogram, so we decided to sequence the PCR results.
 Gel run/cut of phasins amplified via PCR Phasins were gel run/cut and the samples were prepared to be sequenced.
Inoculum of
- <partinfo>BBa_J23101</partinfo>
- <partinfo>BBa_J23105</partinfo>
- <partinfo>BBa_J23106</partinfo>
for tomorrow ligations.
July, 13th

PBHR68 plasmid was prepared, grown in LB+Amp and streaked on LB + Amp agar plate.
 Quality control for HELPER and CRIM plasmids Screening of <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo> (CRIM), <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> (helper), pAH123 (helper) ans pCP20 (helper). MiniPrep was performed for these cultures (inoculum was performed yesterday).
| <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo> | 45,2 ng/ul
|
| <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> | 78,0 ng/ul
|
| pAH123 | 81,0 ng/ul
|
| pCP20 | 45,2 ng/ul
|
Digestion of:
| Culture | Kind | Final reaction volume (ul) | DNA (ul) | H20 (ul) | Enzyme 1 | Enzyme 2 | Buffer H
|
| <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo> | Screening | 25 | 2 | 18,5 | 1 XbaI | --- | 2,5

|
| pAH123 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 18,5 | 1 SpeI | --- | 2,5

These samples were digested at 37°C for 1 hour. Gel was loaded with digestions and with <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> and pCP20 not digested.
Expected length for digestions was:
- <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo>: 1816 and 1351 bp
- <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo>: 3580 and 2755 bp (6335 not digested)
- pAH123: 2755 and 2437
- pCP20: 9400bp
Considered the results obtained, we decided to perform a further screening for <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo>.
Glycerol stock was prepared for PBHR68 and PBHR68 Backup, then falcon tube was re-filled with 5ml LB+Amp for further screening.
Inoculum of <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo> and <partinfo>BBa_J72013</partinfo> were performed in 5ml LB+Cm 34 (HC). Al falcon tubes were placed at 37°C 220 rpm.
Today we received our new enzymes!!!
They were stored at -20°C in "Fermentas Enzymes" box.

 Quality control for pBHR68 and CRIM plasmids July, 16th
 Screening ligations I11-I16 |  Screening ligations I17-I19, I7/I8/I10-4C5 |
Since it's impossible to isolate the CRIM plasmid <partinfo>BBa_J72007</partinfo> we created a pseudo CRIM plasmid to check that not pir strains aren't able to propagate it.
We called it "THE RING" (RING) and we built it from our I5 (Cm resistance - <partinfo>BBa_P1004</partinfo> - + TT - <partinfo>BBa_B0015</partinfo> - + R6K ori - <partinfo>BBa_J61001</partinfo>) in <partinfo>pSB1A2</partinfo>:
- Digestion of I5 XbaI-PstI
- Gel extraction
- Quantification with Nanodrop (15ng/ul)
- Ligation of X and P sites each other (used 2ul of DNA)
