Monday May 28th
- Cloning of CotA (Bacillus halodurans) and Tth-laccase (Thermus thermophilus) in pSB1C3-backbone.
- Team bacterial laccase: Since we have less cotA and tth-laccase DNA, we set an PCR from the remaining PCR approch. For the reaction look PCR table

- Team Activity Tests: Our ordered laccase and ABTS arrived. We couldn't wait to start, so we set up some stocks and created an ultimate plan of how to get to know our laccase better. We found out that natrium acetate buffer (100 mM / pH 5) would give an optimal environment to our enzyme. We decided to check the activity via a photometer. The one we may use here at the Cebitec is a Tecan Microplate reader. Check "protocols" for further information. If oxidized by laccase ABTS can me measured at 420 nm. After some trial and error we found out that a concentration of 0,1 U laccase and 0,1 µl ABTS in each well is perfect for visualizing the process. We added buffer to fill each well to 200 µl.

- Team bacterial laccase: The PCRs from the 28th May has been purified with the Fermentas PCR Clean Up kit.
