Cultures were MiniPrepped with the following quantifications (NanoDrop):
| Culture name | quantification
|
| I7-1 | 83,3 ng/ul
|
| I7-2 | 104 ng/ul
|
| I8-1 | 123,8 ng/ul
|

|
| I10-2 | 93,6 ng/ul
|
| PhaP-1 | 29,1 ng/ul
|
| PhaP-2 | 13,6 ng/ul
|
All cultures, except PhaP-1 and PhaP-2 were digested. Digestion of:
| Culture | Kind | Final reaction volume (ul) | DNA (ul) | H20 (ul) | Enzyme 1 | Enzyme 2 | Buffer H
|
| I7-1 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I7-2 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I8-1 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I8-2 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I9-1 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I9-2 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I10-1 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
| I10-2 | Screening | 25 | 2 | 19,5 | 0,5 EcoRI | 0,5 PstI | 2,5
|
Digestion was performed at 37°C for 3 hours. Digestions were gel run. For I9 and I10 clones all colonie were correct, while for I7 and I8 extra bands could be observed. Since preliminar results of TECAN test didn't provide encouraging results, we decided to select other 3 colonies both for I7 and I8 and to repeat the screening, while I9 and I10 were correct at this screening, so we choosed I9-1 and I10-1 as definitive I9 and I10 parts. I9 and I10 will be further screened next week.
TECAN TEST
 Screening of I7, I8, I9, I10
PhaP-1 and PhaP-2 were prepared or sequencing: 13,8 ul (2x quantity) of PhaP-1 and 14,7ul (1x quantity) oh PhaP-2 were dryed at 65°C and setn to BMR genomics for sequencing service.
All strains received from ???Yale Univesity??? were on blotting paper disks, that were placed on an LB agar plates (with/without antiobiotic, see growth conditions), resuspended wih 80ul LB and then streaked. After plate streaking, disks were trasnferred in falcon containing liquid LB.
- BT340 was streaked on LB+Amp (50ng/ml) agar plates and from here on LB+Amp (100ng/ml) agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB+Amp (100ng/ml).
- BW5328 was streaked on LB+Amp (50ng/ml) agar plates and from here on LB+Amp (100ng/ml) agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB+Amp (100ng/ml).
- MG1655 was streaked on LB agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB.
- MC1061 was streaked on LB agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB.
- BW25142 was streaked on LB agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB.
- BW25141 was streaked on LB agar plates. The paper disk was then transferred in liquid LB.
METTERE CONDIZIONI DI CRESCITA (temperatura e tempo) e risultati (chi è cresciuto e chi no!)
June, 30th
Inoculum of cultures for a TECAN test. From glycerol stocks: I7-1, I7-2, I8-1, I8-2 (all tese 4 colonies were not correct! we want to see if any fluorescence is observed in order to understamd if there is any unexpected GFP production), I9-1, I9-2, I10-1, I10-2. For these cultures 8ul of glycerol stock were inoculated in 2 ml Lb+Amp.
Other three colonies were peaked from I7 and I8 plates.
| I7-3 | 5 ml LB+ Amp, grown ON 37°C 220 rpm
|
| I7-4 | 5 ml LB+ Amp, grown ON 37°C 220 rpm
|
| I7-5 | 5 ml LB+ Amp, grown ON 37°C 220 rpm
|
| I8-3 | 5 ml LB+ Amp, grown ON 37°C 220 rpm

All cultures were incubated ON, 37°C 220 rpm.
July, 1st
First TECAN test.
All cultures incubated yesterday night were diluted 1:100 (10ul in 1ml fresh LB+Amp) and let grown for further 3 hours at 37°C 220 rpm. Also I7-3,4 and 5 and I8-3, 4 and 5 were prepared for TECAN test (10ul were diluted in 1ml LB+Amp). After dilution, static OD was measured for these cultures and a proper dilution was perfeormed, in order to start from the desired OD of 0,02, according to the phormula:
After dilution, 3 aliquotes each of 200ul were trasferred in a 96-wells plate and incubated in TECAN multi-well plate reader. Cultures were mantained at 37°C and a kynetic cycle was performed:
- Duration: 20h
- Kynetic cycle: 5 minutes
- Every 5 minutes:
- 15 s shaking (3mm, linear)
- 10 s wait
- OD600 measurement
- GFP measurement
I7-3, I7-4, I7-5, I8-3, I8-4 and I8-5 cultures were prepared in 5ml LB+Amp, so the remaining cultures not used for TECAN test were pelletted at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes, supernatant was discarded and pelletes were stored at 4°C for tomorrow MiniPrep of cultures that provided promising results at TECAN test.
Of the plates incubated yesterday, a colony was peaked and grown in 1ml LB (+ antibiotic) for 6 hours at X°C 220 rpm:
| Culture name | Growth condition
|
| MG1655 | 1ml LB
|
| MG1655 BUP (backup) | 1ml LB
|
| MC1061 | 1ml LB
|
| MC1061 BUP | 1ml LB
|
| BW23142 | 1ml LB
|
| BW23142 BUP | 1ml LB
|
| BW23141 | 1ml LB
|
| BW23141 BUP | 1ml LB
|
Other parts were received from ??? Anderson laboratory ??? in stab form.
| Part | Description | Growt condition
|
