Week 28: July 09th to July 15th

Goal of the week

we wanted to recover and amplify the biobricks involved in our genetic networks:
  • pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP (1300bp)
  • RBS_Cya (2600bp)
  • pLAC (100bp)
  • fha (80bp)
  • eCFP (800bp)
  • pLAC_RBS (120bp)
  • RsmA (200bp)
  • rsmY (170bp)
  • pSB1A3 (2400bp)
  • pSB4K5 (2400bp)
  • pSB3C5 (2400bp)
We also planned to realise the gibson assemblies for the first constructions.

Monday, July 09th:

Precultured cells are prepared:
  • Strains = BW25113 WT and BW25113 cya- pAra/Bad
  • Conditions = LB liquid medium, 37°C, 200rpm, overnight

Tuesday, July 10th:

For the PCRs, we changed the enzyme from GoTaq to High Fidelity (HF) Phusion.
We did some colony PCR with a HF Phusion enzyme (protocol) to amplify:
  • fha1, RsmA, rsmY and pSB1A3 from iGEM Grenoble 2011 glycerol stock.
  • pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP from BW25113 cya- pAra/Bad precultured cells.
  • RBS_Cya from BW25113 WT precultured cells.
We did the PCR both with and without DMSO (Amplification of difficult targets, such as those with GC-rich sequences or secondary structure, may be improved by the presence of additives such as DMSO).

To separate the PCR products, we prepared two gels:
  • a 1.3% TAE agarose gel, for the small fragments: RsmA, fha1 and rsmY (length < 1000bp)
  • a 0.8% TAE agarose gel, for the big fragments: pSB1A3, RBS_Cya, and pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP (length > 1000bp)

Migration conditions = 50V during 1h15.
We used EtBr to reveal the DNA fragments.

Lane 10 and 11: pSBA13 PCR product (DMSO)
Lane 12: pAra/Bad_GFP PCR product (DMSO)
Lane 13: DNA ladder 1kb (biolabs)

There was a migration problem on the second gel (DNA ladder migration was not right) and we only saw primer dimer bands. There was a PCR condition problem.

Precultured cells were prepared:
  • Strains = BW25113 WT.
  • Conditions = LB liquid medium, 37°C, 200rpm, overnight.

Wednesday, July 11th:

We did a miniprep (protocol kit: Nucleospin plasmid Quick Pure) on three iGEM Grenoble 2011 strains:
  • fha1
  • RsmA
  • rsmY

We did a 15min digestion (protocol) by some restriction enzymes (XbaI and PstI) in order to check if there were the right plasmids in the strains.

To separate the digestion products, we prepared a 1.3% TAE agarose gel.
Migration conditions = 50V during 1h15.
In order to reveal the DNA fragments, we used EtBr.

Lane 18 and 19: rsmY digestion product (XbaI-pSTI)
Lane 20: DNA ladder 100pb (biolabs)

We seen the DNA bands were at the wrong position, like there was no digestion. We thought the digestion problem occured during the heating step (we had a problem using the thermoblock).

Using iGEM 2012 biobricks we transformed (protocol) BW25113 WT cells. We obtained five transformed strains with five different biobricks:
  • BBa_I13601: pLAC_RBS
  • BBa_E0422: eCFP
  • pSB3C5 plasmid
  • psB4K5 plasmid
  • psB1A3 plasmid
Precultured cells were prepared:
  • Strains = BW25113 cya- pAra/Bad.
  • Conditions = LB liquid medium, 37°C, 200rpm, overnight.
