Roll call

Everyone here except Colin Harwood, Colin Davie and Wendy Smith

Research feedback

  1. Levan glue - Levan requires sucrose to work
  • Test how much sucrose is needed - Phil
  1. Kill switch - Use of mazE and mazF
  • How much sucrose is needed for it to work?
  • How fast does the bug use up all the sucrose?
  1. Stochastic switch - Use of hinC as the invertase
  • Matt to work with Phil to work out the probability of the switching
  • Have to work out what is wrong with the iGEM 2009 stochastic switch first

Lab feedback

Phil and Younus - LacI Transformation, MiniPrep and Restriction digests

  • Transformants with LacI and RFP in it. Not sure how to test if LacI is in the plasmid
  • Whether gel, transformation worked, Miniprep did not work, plasmid moving at the wrong band (too many bands)
