Monday 10th September

Morning

Performed with the NEB protocol with some adaptions again. The volume of digestion was changed from 50μl to 20μl by adding less water so as to increase the DNA concentration. The enzymes and buffer concentrations were adapted as below. This was not a Linearized Plasmid Backbone so for the plasmid digestion we used the NEB Biolabs protocol adapted to the amounts shown below.

WbnJ into pSB1C3

WbnK into pSB1C3

WfcA into pSB1C3

WbbC(3) into pSB1C3

WclY into pSB1C3

WbiP into pSB1C3

WbiP into pSB1C3

The genes and the destination plasmid were cut using EcoR1 and PstI. The digest was incubated for an hour and a half and then deactivated by heating at 80C for 20 minutes. The ligation was performed as per the 3A assembly above but 4ul of plasmid DNA was used to 2ul of destination plasmid.

Afternoon

Transformation

The ligations above and the ligations from the 12/09/2012 were transformed using the Competent Cell protocol and using the Competent Cells made in the lab.

Wednesday 12th September

Morning

WbbC(1) into pSB1C3, WbbC(2) into pSB1C3, WbbC(3) into pSB1C3 and WbiP into pSB1C3 did not form colonies on the plates. This was repeated.

The genes and the destination plasmid were cut using EcoR1 and PstI. The digest was incubated for an hour and a half and then deactivated by heating at 80C for 20 minutes. The ligation was performed as per the 3A assembly above but 4μl of plasmid DNA was used to 2μl of destination plasmid.

3A assembly

ompA + Cyc_BBa_B0014

Performed with the NEB protocol with some adaptions again. The volume of digestion was changed from 50μl to 20μl by adding less water so as to increase the DNA concentration. The enzymes and buffer concentrations were adapted as below. This was not a Linearized Plasmid Backbone so for the plasmid digestion we used the NEB Biolabs protocol adapted to the amounts shown below.

Two step Phusion PCR using a 6 X 10 serial dilution

The reaction was set up using the Biolabs Phusion PCR protocol.

Two reactions were set up:

Reaction 1: Pbad Large and WbnJ using the primers supplied. See, Operon Construction: 9th - 13th July 2012

Reaction 2: Reaction 1: Pbad Large and WbnJ using the primers supplied and varying the magnesium concentration. See, Operon Construction: 9th - 13th July 2012

PCR mix and this was loaded onto the gel and run for 20 minutes. No bands were shown on the gel so the PCR did not work.

Afternoon

Adding cultures

Cells transformed with below were added into liquid medium and incubated overnight.

Protocol was followed using chloramphenicol for the BioBrick part as the selection antibiotic.

Thursday 13th. September

Morning

ompA + Cyc_BBa_B0014 showed no colonies on the overnight plate.

All minipreps were nanodropped showing very good concentrations

Afternoon

Gel Digest of DNA from 21/08/2012

A digestion using EcoR1 and PstI was run on all of the miniprepped DNA from today.

For the digestion we used Fermantas enzymes instead. The protocol remained the same but we used Ferantas Buffer H instead of the NEB Buffer 2.

Friday 14th September

Today a digestion ligation was set up to put our remaining Biobrisks into pSB1C3.

The genes and the destination plasmid were cut using EcoR1 and PstI. The digest was incubated for an hour and a half and then deactivated by heating at 80C for 20 minutes. The ligation was performed as per the 3A assembly above but 4μl of plasmid DNA was used to 2μl of destination plasmid.

For the digestion we used Fermantas enzymes instead. The protocol remained the same but we used Ferantas Buffer H instead of the NEB Buffer 2.

There was not enough time to transform any of these this afternoon so after the ligation they were stored at -20C for the weekend.
