Week 6 (06/04 - 06/10/12)

Monday June 4th

  • Primerdesign for isolating a laccase from Arababidopsis thaliana cDNA. Since we want to express the laccase in E.coli we designed the primers like before for the bacterial laccases with T7 promotor and HIS-tag.

Tuesday June 5th

  • Team Activity Tests: After testing the T. versicolor laccase under conditions that are optimal (pH 5, 25°C ) according to the literature we now started further characterization under different pHs. We analyzed the laccases behavior when working in 100 mM natrium acetate buffer at pH 1, 3, 7 an 9. Result: We agree with the literature that pH 5 and also pH 6 seem to make the laccase happy. Since not all waste waters (especially those here in Germany) are not as warm as 25°C we now wonder what our laccase might do when exposed to low temperature such as 4°C. Stay tuned.
