The transformations from last week seemed to have worked. The CFP is very very light and looks almost like GFP. We think it may be because our UV light isn't very strong. | The transformations from last week seemed to have worked. The CFP is very very light and looks almost like GFP.

- | The team has continued to attempt to biobrick together the necessary genes that create the carotenoid pathway in E. coli (see last week for more information). To do this, the team has decided to follow the biobrick assembly protocol once more, synthesizing the upstream, downstream and plasmid parts, and then connect them. In order to increase the efficiency and yield of this assembly, gel purification was used to isolate the plasmid for the biobrick assembly. Below is the gel with the upstream, downstream and plasmid parts. | + | The team has continued to attempt to biobrick together the necessary genes that create the carotenoid pathway in E. coli (see last week for more information).
