DH5α cells were transformed with three plasmids (taken from the Registry) containing the violacein operon. ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K274002 BBa_K274002], [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K274003 BBa_K274003],[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K274004 BBa_K274004]). The cells were grown on LB Kan/Tc agar plates. Transformation of part Bba_K274002 was unsuccessful – there were no colonies on the LB Tc plates. Colonies containing plasmids with parts BBa_K274003 and BBa_K274004 were later inoculated into mini-prep flasks with Kan. Plasmid DNA was isolated from the over-night cultures.

 

Primers for amplificiation of separate vio genes were designed and ordered, and a table of constructs, necessary for the experiment was made.
