Early in the morning we had our third meeting with Copenhagen team. Valencia couldn't make it again. Nothing has changed much since Copenhagen still has problems with the assembly technique (USER cloning). We are going to stay in touch by e-mail with both teams and will schedule another meeting once they have constructs ready. |

After the selection by colony PCR of constructs assembled last wednesday, we digested them and colony number 8 of C1.1 is the right size. YEAH! The rest of colony PCR's although (wednesday's C1.2 and the friday assemblies) were... well, bad results. |
Oh, and we discovered our beautiful syne that was growing in the lab downstairs seems to be cough cough dead cough cough. They die with glucose... We reinoculated our stock for a new transformation and left coli growing with the target construct (psbAB + GFP). | Oh, and we discovered our beautiful syne that was growing in the lab downstairs seems to be cough cough dead cough cough.

| + | Wednesday: Today was arduino day finally. We could try the system sensitivity to bacterial light and turns out franky's chick (the light sensor) can measure intensity pretty well. Also, a short experiment was done. We prepared several flasks with e. coli with Lux brick in sob medium and we added different concentrations of glucose to the different flasks (prior arabinose induction). The objective was to find the optimum concentration of glucose able to produce biolumniscence. You can check the details of the experiment in the Results section. | ||
