Week 3 (05/14 - 05/20/12)

weekly seminar:

  • first lab service: Robert
  • our GFP, which we wanted to use for the summer school for pupils, does not work
  • first competent cells have to be made: Julia S. and Robert
  • Decision to buy a commercial laccase to establish the analytics and the enzyme tests
  • our expose has to be translated into english: Malak
  • last planning for our waver sell
  • Julia S. is creating a vector for Pichia pastoris and is now looking for sequences
  • The BMBF invites all german iGEM teams to Berlin to attend at the Biotechnologie2020+ strategy process

  • Team Activity Tests: For some pre test and characterization for our future laccase activity standard we ordered laccase from Trametes versicolor. As well we had to order a substrate that the laccase could use to demonstrate its abilities. According to the literature ABTS is a well working substrate to characterize oxidizing enzym activity. So we ordered.

  • Team Bacterial Laccases: For cloning our laccases we need pSB1C3 backbone. Therefore we we transformed BBa_J04450 (pSB1C3 with RFP) in competent KRX cells.

Thursday May 17th

  • Team Modeling: Meeting Mrs. Lutter, a mathematics prof. of our course of studies and looking for our first model of a metabolic pathway, finding out, that we don't need such a complex model. Start thinking that we want and what we need.
  • Team Bacterial Laccases: Plasmid isolation of BBa_J04450 (pSB1C3 + RFP).

Friday May 18th

  • Team Activity Tests: Our T.versicolor laccase and the ABTS arrived! We couldn´t wait to start, so we set up the stock solutions we will need, such as sodium acetat buffer (pH 5), 10 mM ABTS and deluted laccase.
