iGEM Grenoble 2012

Project
week 27 week 28 week 29 week 30

Week 27: July 02nd to July 08st

Goal of the week

We wanted to test the PCR conditions, recover and amplify the biobricks involved in our genetic networks :
  • pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP (1300bp)
  • RBS_Cya (2600bp)
  • pLAC (100bp)
  • fha (80bp)
  • eCFP (800bp)
  • pLAC_RBS (120bp)
  • RsmA (200bp)
  • rsmY (170bp)
  • pSB1A3 (2400bp)
  • pSB4K5 (2400bp)
  • pSB3C5 (2400bp)

Tuesday, July 03rd:

Precultured cells are prepared:
  • Strains = BW25113 WT, BW25113 cya- and BW25113 cya- pAra/Bad
  • Conditions = LB liquid medium, 37°C, 200rpm, overnight

Wednesday, July 04th:

We did PCRs on colony with a GoTaq enzyme (protocol) to amplify:
  • fha1, RsmA, rsmY and pSB1A3 from iGEM Grenoble 2011 glycerol stock.
  • pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP from BW25113 cya- pAra/Bad precultured cells.
  • RBS_Cya from BW25113 WT precultured cells.

Using iGEM 2012 biobricks we transformed BW25113 WT cells (protocol). We obtained four transformed strains with four different biobricks:
  • BBa_I13601: pLAC_RBS
  • BBa_E0422: eCFP
  • pSB3C5 plasmid
  • psB4K5 plasmid

Thursday, July 5th:

The transformations (12/07/04) show no growth on LB Agar plate + antibiotics.

In order to separate the PCR products (12/07/04), we prepared two gels:
  • a 1.3% Tris base Acetic acid EDTA (TAE) agarose gel, for the small fragments: RsmA, fha1 and rsmY (length < 1000bp)
  • a 0.8% TAE agarose gel, for the big fragments: pSB1A3, RBS_Cya, and pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP (length > 1000bp)

Migration conditions = 100V during 35 min.
In order to reveal the fragments, we used Ethidium Bromide (EtBr).
