PCR runs have been defective so we haven’t been able to obtain all the parts needed to assemble our constructs. Nonetheless, parts for C1.1 and C2.1 amplified and a Gibson  assembly was attempted to join them.  The assembly was incorrect according to a restriction enzyme digestion protocol.

Synechocytis are growing ok.

Attempted synechocytis DNA extraction according to protocol. There was no pellet and no DNA.
 +
 +
Synechocystis cultures were observed under acridine dye and turned out to be axenic. (upload photos). Cultures were reinoculated in fresh BG11.
 +
 +
Started a growth curve for Synechocystis (that was never finished).

* 17 PCR’s were run. Some parts  amplified correctly and some did not.
 +
Comments: DNA from synechocystis  as template is not good enough. Primers  form secondary images of these structures)

<font size="4">Gibson Assembly</font>
 +
 +
 +
Constructs whose all parts could be obtained by PCR: C1.1 and C2.1. The Gibson assembly technique was used to build the constructs. Transformation followed.

 +
Results:  C1.1≈ 7 colonies<br>
 +
C2.1≈ 5 colonies<br>
 +
B1 ≈ 1 colony (bacto construct)<br>
 +
sfGFP (control) ≈ 15, all red (contamination?)<br>
 +
 +
A DNA extraction and a restriction enzyme protocols were done in order to verify constructs.
 +
 +
Cut regions:    C1.1 -> psbAB-RFP<br>
 +
C 2.1 -> psbA2-RFP
 +
 +
Results: ?? (I believe size was wrong)
