Tested BioBricks

We tested the following BioBricks:

<partinfo>K238008</partinfo>: virA

We made a restriction analysis and sequenced parts of this BioBrick. There were problems - more information within a short time.


<partinfo>BBa_K238011</partinfo>: vir-promoter

We made a restriction analysis and sequenced parts of this BioBrick.


<partinfo>P1010</partinfo>: ccdB-gene

We transformed this BioBrick into Escherichia coli JM109, DH5α, TOP10 and DB3.1. E. coli JM109 and DH5α seem to be ccdB resistant because there were as much colonies after P1010 transformation as observed with DB3.1. The P1010 works as expected in E. coli TOP10 (no colonies after transformation) and DB3.1 (lawn after transformation).


Table 1: Results of the transformation of the cell-death gene ccdB, BioBrick <partinfo>P1010</partinfo>, into different strains of E. coli.

E. coli strain Resistant to ccdB? Expected result? Gyrase genotype
DB3.1 yes yes gyrA462
DH5α yes no gyrA96
JM109 yes no gyrA96
TOP10 no yes WT


<partinfo>K389011</partinfo>: VirA screening device

Ratio of surviving colonies of E. coli EC100D carrying unmutated <partinfo>K389010</partinfo> and <partinfo>K389011</partinfo> plated on PA agar plates with chloramphenicol, ampicillin and different concentrations of kanamycin. Comparison between cells that were induced with acetosyringone with cells that were not induced.


Sequenced BioBricks

Own BioBricks

The sequencing of the following of our own BioBricks was succesful and lead to the expected results:

  • <partinfo>K389001</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389002</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K389003</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K389004</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K389005</partinfo>
  • <partinfo>K389010</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389011</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389012</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389013</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389015</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389016</partinfo> (not fully completed)
  • <partinfo>K389050</partinfo>


Other BioBricks

  • <partinfo>K238008</partinfo> sequencing gave negative results - infos in registry are not correct!
  • <partinfo>K238011</partinfo> sequencing gave negative results - infos in registry are not correct!
