AUGUST: WEEK 1
August, 2nd
Miniprep and quantification with Nanodrop of:
- I20-1: 98,2 ng/ul
- I20-2: 63,6 ng/ul
- I20-3: 41,5 ng/ul
- I21-1: 45 ng/ul
- I21-2: 45 ng/ul
- I21-3: 54 ng/ul
These samples were prepared and sent (400ng) to BMR Genomics for sequencing.
The following parts were resuspended from iGEM 2010 Distribution Kit:
- <partinfo>BBa_R0062</partinfo> (Plate 1, Well 6O)
- <partinfo>BBa_K081009</partinfo> (Plate 2, Well 10N)
both in vector <partinfo>pSB1A2</partinfo>.
Transformation (1ul) of the following parts (resuspended/already miniprepped):
| Part | Strain | Culture name
|
| pAH123 | MC1061 | MC123
|
| MG1655 | MG123
|
| <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> | MC1061 | MC008
|
| MG1655 | MG008
|
| <partinfo>BBa_R0062</partinfo> | DH5-alpha |
|
| <partinfo>BBa_K081009</partinfo>
|
Transformed cells were plated on proper LB+Amp agar plates and grown ON at right temperature:
| Part | Plate resistance | Temperature
|
| pAH123 | Amp 50 ug/ml | 30°C
|
| <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo>
|
| <partinfo>BBa_R0062</partinfo> | Amp 100 ug/ml | 37°C
|
| <partinfo>BBa_K081009</partinfo>
|
August, 3rd
Check for plates grown ON: all plates showed colonies.
 <partinfo>BBa_R0062</partinfo> plate |  <partinfo>BBa_K081009</partinfo> plate |
A single colony was picked from <partinfo>BBa_R0062</partinfo> and <partinfo>BBa_K081009</partinfo> plates and inoculated in 1 ml LB+Amp 100 ug/ml and incubated 37°C, 220 rmp for glycerol stock. Cultures left were refilled to 5 ml of proper medium and incubated ON at 37°C, 220 rpm for further screening.
Since plates left showed small colonies they were let grow until late afternoon; than some colonies were picked from each plate and inoculated into a 5 ml LB+Amp 50 ug/ml falcon. Falcon tubes were incubated and shaken ON at 30°C.
 MC1061 transformed with pAH123 |  MC1061 transformed with <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> |
 MG1655 transformed with pAH123 |  MG1655 transformed with <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> |
PCR from the following colonies (this is a test for the efficiency of our primers synthesized to check attPhi80 E. coli genomic integration and it will be our negative control for future screenings):
- MC1061-1
- MC1061-2
- MG1655-1
- MG1655-2
- Blank (Nothing)
Gel run of amplified DNA showed for every sample the expected distance between primers of a strain with nothing integrated in attPhi80 site (~XXX bp), but unfortunately we forgot to take a picture of the gel ;(
August, 4th
Glycerol stocks for MC1061 and MG1655 strains transformed with pAH123 or <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> helper plasmids.
2 ul of MC1061 bacteria were transferred into 5 ml LB+Amp 50 ug/ml and grown and shaken at 30°C over-day and over-night for re-competentization of the following day.
200 ul of MG1655 cultures were transferred into 100 ml LB+Amp 50 ug/ml and grown and shaken at 30°C for re-competentization of today.
All cultures were miniprepped to check again the presence of helper plasmids.
Miniprep gave the following results:
- MC1061 with pAH123: 20,5 ng/ul
- MC1061 with <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo>: 20,5 ng/ul
- MG1655 with pAH123: 20,5 ng/ul
- MG1655 with <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo>: 20,5 ng/ul
Samples were digested with SpeI ()it cuts twice for 3 hours and gel run:
- pAH123 digested: 3376 and 939 bp
- <partinfo>BBa_J72008</partinfo> digested: 4519 and 939 bp
Unfortunately we got a bad gel run so this time we decided to pick two single colonies from each of the plates made on August, 3rd and to inoculate them into 5 ml LB+Amp 50 ug/ml. A total of eight falcon tubes was incubated ON at 30°C, 220 rpm.
We plan to screen them (check the presence of helper plasmids) and to re-competentize only the positive ones.
