| - | * '''Team Student Academy:''' We got the chance to organize one part of the first school academy “synthetic biology/ biotechnology” at the CeBiTec of University Bielefeld by arranging experiments for the pupils and by presenting us and the iGEM competition. For the experimental part our general idea was to give them an understanding of principle methods in biotechnology / synthetic biology by using fluorescent proteins. We planned the following experiments:
| + | |
| - | ** Plasmid isolation of RFP/GFP from a liquid culture.
| + | |
| - | ** Transformation of a plasmid mixture consisting of two different fluorescent proteins (e.g. RFP and GFP) and different antibiotic resistances into ''E.coli'' KRX. It will be plated out on LB agar plates without antibiotics and on plates containing one of the two antibiotics, which are present on the plasmids. This way we can demonstrate the effect of antibiotics as selective pressure.
| + | |
| - | * '''Team Bacterial Laccases:'''
| + | |
| - | :*Before our lab time started we sent requests for different plasmids with the desired laccase genes to working groups, which have already worked with laccases we are interested in. Sadly just one working group responded to us. We got answer for a vector with the laccase-ORF [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/194015788 CotA] from ''Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061'' and an ampicillin resistance from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Laboratory for Biomaterials in Switzerland. They promised to send us the plasmid pBpL6. [http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6750/11/9 More information...] For an uniformly labeling we will further call this laccase BPUL.
| + | |
| - | :*In a [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21790191 publication] we found a research group who worked with the laccase [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/21230052 CopA] from ''Xanthomonas pv. campestris'' ATCC33913. Luckily the sequence of this laccase is the same in ''Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris'' B100 which we got from a research group at our university. We will call this laccase XCCL in our wiki from now on.
| + | |
| - | :*We found a [http://www.springerlink.com/content/x33205rp257397kr/ publication] which described the laccase [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/85674340 CueO] from ''E. coli W3110''. After blasting this laccase we found out that ''E. coli BL21''(DE3) has this laccase, too. We decided to isolate the laccase from ''E. coli'' BL21(DE3) because this strain is available in our lab. We will call this laccase ECOL in our wiki.
| + | |
| - | :* Generating new competent ''E.coli'' KRX cells.
| + | |
| - | :* For extraction of genomic DNA we cultivated ''Xanthomonas campestris'' B100 and ''E. coli'' BL21(DE3). The bacterial strains we got from a working group at our University. After cultivation we isolated the genomic DNA. The DNA was needed as template for PCRs to purify the wanted laccase ORFs.
| + | |
| - | :* Primer design for isolation of laccases from genomic DNA of ''Xanthomonas campestris'' B100 and ''E. coli'' BL21(DE3) and for isolation of bpul from ''Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061'' from the plasmid we hope to get. The forward primers were designed with T7 promoter, RBS and the first 20 bases of the wanted gene. The reverse primers were designed with the last 20 bases of the wanted gene without the stop codon, a His-Tag and two stop codons.

| - | * '''Team Activity Test''': Good morning everybody and welcome to the labjournal of Team Activity Tests. Today we started our work with some literature research about enzyme activity tests, laccases and its substrates. So today was filled with online research, reading papers and collecting information about the laccases our team decided to use.

| - | ** After the vector with the laccase gene CotA from ''Bacillus pumilus'' arrived, we transformed it into the competent ''E.coli KRX'' which we have already made competent to have a greater amount of vector. The protocol we used was as followed:
| + | </html> |
| - | *** The electroporation setup: U= 2,5kV C= 25 µF and R= 400 <math>\omega</math>
| + | |
| - | *** Since we did not know the efficient of our competent KRX we used two different ''E.coli'' volumes for the transformation, 50µL and 100µL. We gave 50µL 10% Glycerol to the reaction tubes with 1µL of the vector DNA (''Bacillus pumilus''). After the transformation we plated them into ampicillin plates.
| + | |
| - | ** PCR with the ''Xanthomonas campestris B100'' and ''E. coli BL21(DE3)'' genomic DNA to isolate the laccases. Therefore we used the primers Xcc_LAC_FW_T7, Xcc_LAC_RV_HIS, E.coli_LAC_FW_T7 and E.coli_LAC_RV_HIS which are listed under Materials.

| - | '''Team Bacterial Laccases''': We did Colony PCR on the transformed the ''Bacillus pumilus'' CotA plasmid. Unfortunately the control with colony PCR didn't work. So we just picked some colonies for plasmid isolation in the hope that on the AMP plate were no false positives colonies.
