We are going to gram stain the agrobacteria, E-Coli, and florescent spl. and efflorescent spl. of agro to determine if we have agro that we are working with.
Hun Young is stetting up this gram stain placing 4 circles on a slide 0 X 1 2 and following the Gram Stain Protocol.
0-has shown under oil immersion was groups of red rods
X-has shown lest clusters but under oil shown was red rods as well

BBa_pSB1T3—Tetracycline resistant plasmid—Plate 1 Well 7A
Today we are extracting a plasmid following protocol for extraction.
1) added 250 ul resuspension sol. and sightly vortexed to mix well.
2) added 250 ul of lysis sol. to 1.5 ml centrafuge tube with resuspended cells.
Following the protocol exact to the letter. I;m doing E-Coli w/ T9002
After DNA purification we drew out 5 ul from each spl. and placed into new tubes for electrophoresis, which we will do after lunch.
Placed remainder (45ul) of each in plastic frezer box in -80C freezer
electrophoresis
I will be loading our electrophoresis gel (all with loading tip from sterile box)
Well 1- Ruler
Well 2- T9002 with 5 ul loading dye
Well 3- F2620 with 5 ul loading dye
Well 4- I732094 with 5 ul loading dye
Well 5- Ruler II
Note: Gel contains lots of bubbles may be source of error. The gell turned out to show that the LacZ and LuxR had about the same size plasmid and F2620 had a much smaller plasmid which is basically what we were expecting after taking pictures, we bagged and froze.
Electroporations Comp E-Coli w/PGlo
Now I will be electroporating Comp E-Coli cells with PGlo then plate right away to allow to grow them.
taking and growing new Ecoli Comp Cells made by Biolabs inc. I will be taking 40 ul from main tube and placing into 4 new tubes then shoodting LB-Lennox into the main tube and placing into 15 ml centrifuge tube with LB and Amp to grow all weekend.
1) thawing cells in an ice bath allong with .2cm cuvette then electorporating E-Coli w/PGlo.
Following protocol
