* '''Team Bacterial Laccases''': We wanted to clone our  laccase PCR products from ''Xanthomonas campestris'' and ''E. coli'' in pSB1C3 backbone. Therefore we did some restriction digests on the PCR products and the vector [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J04450 BBa_J04450].

*''' Team Student Academy:''' Repetition of the transformation of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J04450 BBa_J04450] and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_I13522 BBa_I13522] with new competent cells.  For setup see [https://2012.igem.org/Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Labjournal/week2#Monday_May_7th here]. Got intense red fluorescing colonies but no green fluorescing colonies. Made a backup of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J04450 BBa_J04450]. Asking for other plasmids containing GFP at the working groups of our University.

** After there were no colonies on our pSB1C3 + CopA (''Xanthomonas campestris'') transformation plate we did the transformation with the same ligation preparation again. The other ligation with pSB1C3 + CueO (''E. coli'') showed colonies so we started colony PCRs to find positive colonies. Sadly the colony PCRs showed no products but the problem was that we just had the long overhang primers (E.coli_LAC_FW_T7 and E.coli_LAC_RV_HIS ). Therefore we ordered the F and R [https://2012.igem.org/Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Protocols#Primers primers].

*'''Team Activity Tests:''' On our schedule today was testing our bought laccases and improving our protocol in case it won't work. We got familiar with the flat bottom microplates and got a briefing into using the Tecan correctly. We started with the following setup: 100 mM sodium acetate (pH 5), 5 mM ABTS, 8 U laccase, ad 200 µL with deionized water. Then we measured the absorption at 420 nm every 15 seconds over a time period of 2 minutes. Immediately our samples turned dark blue but unfortunately the changeover was out of range to be detected by Tecan. With this information we needed to reduce the laccase concentration to get measurable results. We have chosen to try another measurement with 0,1 U laccase and it worked! The result was a nice saturation curve but it reached a too high, because not good measurable, optimum within 1 minute (Fig. 1). To avoid the loss of important data in the beginning of the reaction and to reduce the saturation OD we decided to slow everything down by using less ABTS.

* We had to do the PCR on ''T. thermo'' laccase again because after the purification of the last PCR product the DNA amount was very low.

About our Wiki

Fifteen students from different fields of study from the Bielefeld University aspired to complete a project called TOXIC COMPOUNDS IN NATURAL WATER - A CASE FOR LACCASE. In his Wiki we document our achievements and our approach.
