Lajja and Mike performed PCR on Bacillus and Citrobactor. They then ran a gel of the samples.

Sarah, Tae and Lajja made a stock solution of Chloramphenicol since tetracycline does not seem to be working as hoped. Chloramphenicol plates were also made.

Yuan and Grant PCR purified the Bacillus and Citrobactor following the usual protocol
The lab PCR’d out the amp backbone using the linearized plasmid backbone protocol
Pbad and citrobacter were digested according to the usual protocol

6.29 uL of 79.5 ng/uL of Pbad

36.2 uL water

14.04 uL of 35.6 ng/uL of Citrobacter

28.5 uL water

Sarah, Tae and Lajja prepared and ran a gel for analysis. The gel contained the digested Pbad and citrobacter parts. After analysis, the Pbad and citrobacter parts did not appear on the gel as expected so a redo of the gel should be done tomorrow.

Brian transformed pSB1C3 RFP plate 1 well 3A, pSB1K3 RFP plate 1 well 5A

Mike and Grant performed a digestion on the pBad promoters, lysis parts, and K backbone according to the usual protocol.

Yuan digested the amp backbone with dpn1 and then PCR purified it following the normal protocol
Yuan performed a ligation of the citrobacter phytase part into the linearized amp plasmid backbone

Brian transformed the following parts:
ligated Citrobacter phytase that is in the pSB1A3 backbone

Cut both with E and then (E and P) for a diagnostic

Pbad nbWT: 5.43 uL, 37.07ul water

Yuan miniprepped the promoters for Grand and Sarah
Grant and Michael PCR’d and PCR Purified the kanamycin and chloramphenicol plasmid backbones
Grant and Michael ran a gel on the PCR’d plasmid backbones

Yuann overnighted the citrobacter phytase(both a red and a white colony that was grown on amp)

Miniprepped the the citrobacter phytase(both the red and white colony)

Yuan eluted with too much solution so she redid the miniprep of the citrobacter
