Week 2 (05/07 - 05/13/12)
- Because we want to characterise laccases from different bacteria we had to order the bacterial strains which weren't available at the University Bielefeld from DSMZ.
- After some empty agarose gels we finally isolated laccase gene CotA from Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061 as a PCR product. As template we used the plasmid we got from the Swiss working group.
- Team Modeling: Looking for suitable Software and enzymkinetics to model the degradation of our substartes with the different laccases. Finding the Michaelis-Menten kinetics and matlab.
Monday May 7th
- Team Student Academy: First transformation of BBa_J04450 and BBa_I13522 and plating on selective agar
- Electroporation setup: U= 2,5 kV C= 25 µF and R= 400 Ω
| Material | Volume |
|---|---|
| E. coli KRX competent cells | 50 µL |
| glycerol (10 %) | 50 µL |
| plasmid | 1 µL |
- Result: We got little colonies. There weren’t any green colonies and only some pale red fluorescent colonies.
- Team Bacterial Laccases:
- Successful PCRs of laccase genes CopA from Xanthomonas campestris B100, CueO from E. coli BL21(DE3) with the isolated genomic DNA as template.
Tuesday May 8th
- Team Student Academy: Repetition of the transformation didn’t change the result. We made a liquid culture of BBa_J04450, but it did not fluoresce. Searching for mistakes and alternatives. Maybe competent cells are not that good and in case of RFP the lacI sensitivity could be the problem.
Wednesday May 9th
Thursday May 10th
- Team Student Academy Testing the competent cells by transformation of pUC19. The transformation did not work that good, so that we produced new ones.
