* '''Team Activity Tests:''' I know, all of you are expecting us to report about some laccase activity now, but today is going to be different. Today we started with a special task: a q-PCR. As written in one of our last labjournal entries we have discussed a lot and searched for reasons why our laccases are not active. We decided that one possible step to find the mistake is to analyze the transcript. The level of mRNA will show us if our plasmid is expressed at all or if there might be something wrong with it. Team Cultivation cultivated small samples of ''E.coli'' KRX with plasmids of laccases from the following organisms:''Escherichia coli'', ''Bacillus pumilus'', ''Bacillus halodurans C-125'', ''Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris B100'' and ''Thermus thermophilus''. As controls a sample with a [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_K525710 ligase a] plasmid (to ensure the induction works) and ''E. coli KRX'' (without any plasmid) were used. So our first step today was freezing some cell pellets for a RNA isolation and ordering primers. We will go on with our new mission as soon as the primers arrive.

** We designed primers for q-PCR for Team Activity Tests (details, look above). The PCRs with this primer pairs should result in about 200 bases long fragments.

** We realized that the primer pairs we anneal for the promoter parts had about 2000 ng/µl if diluted 1:10 from originally 100 pmol. Maybe our used amounts on promoter for the assemblys was a LITTLE to high. So now we try a dilution of 1:1000 with about 2 ng/µl.

*'''Street Science:'''

:*Went to Dr. Joe Max Risse today and asked him about the mircoorganisms of the Fermentationgroup. He recommended ''Euglena gracilis'', since it is without risk, big, colorful, and very healthy under the microscop.
+
-
:*I asked for the bacteria they have and he told me I could check if their ''Kocuria rosea'' is a wild type.
+
-
:*In the DMSZ catalog there are three strains of ''Kocuria rosea'' and all have been assessed to be of riskgroup 1, which is the safest group of bacteria and means it is unlikely that it will infect humans.
+
-
:*I also asked for ''Penicillium chrysogenum'' but the one they use is a GVO.
+
-
* '''Team Site Directed Mutagenesis:'''

+
-
**Restarted from the beginning and made a gradient-PCR for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K863121 GFP_His] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K863102 CBDcex(T7)] to get some more product.

** Made the SDS-Pages of the cultivation on 08/15.

-
* '''Team Bacterial Laccases:''' Colony PCRs: some prefix insertions of promoters in pSB1C3 with ecol and ecol_HIS showed positive bands, so we picked the colonies for plasmid isolation. The problem with the prefix insertion of the promoters in pSB1C3 with the ecol gene is that we can’t easily prove that the promoters were ligated in the backbone because with control restriction there would be an about 50 bp longer fragment which is difficult to see even in 3 % agarose gel. For this reason we designed FW primers (J23103_K_FW and J23110/117_K_FW and T7_K_FW) for our colony PCR, which can just bind, if the new promoter sequence is included in the plasmid. Until all colonies from the promoter J23110 ligation were red, we had some white colonies for the pT7 promoter in pSB1C3 backbone. So we picked a positive colony and plated it for plasmid isolation.

** Made precultures of ''E.coli'' KRX without plasmid (negative control) and with plasmids containing [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K863020 BBa_K863020], [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K863000 BBa_K863000], [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K863005 BBa_K863005], [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K863010 BBa_K863010], and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K863015 BBa_K863015]. As postive control we used [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K525710 BBa_K525710 (Ligase A)].
 
-
**Made-up the idea to have a constitutive promoter (like <partinfo>J61101</partsinfo>) in front of the cellulose binding domain and the GFP. With a Freiburg-Prefix in front of the CBDs we could even easily switch directions of CBD and GFP.
 
-
**Transformed BBa_J61101 into KRX and plated it on AMP-selection-dish
