. We have BioBricks! The plates containing the ligations between B-M and M-B to pSB1C3 showed growth. These need to be validated before submission to iGEM.
. LB media and Agar media was made in vast quantities and autoclaved.
. To produce more M-B and B-M plasmid (already ligated into pSB1C3 plasmids) DNA, more colonies were inoculated into LB media. We plan to maintain a running culture of this, whereby we inoculate this into fresh culture daily.
. We decided to make the study longer and take both full wavescans as well as absorbance readings at 660nm. Instead of plating constantly . Forum preparation - plates with Biobrick written with one letter per plate (using the pYEAR with GFP and potassium nitrate to induce promoter activity)
. Rebecca, Khadija and Lucas, used day 2 samples and carried out a growth study with a reading every minute for 1 hour.
- Forum preparation - plates used for the forum science day had their fluorescence intensified by adding more potassium nitrate to the cells on the plate.
. UK Team Meet-Up! The team took the day off lab inorder to enjoy and host a great UK iGEM team meet up at the google campus, london (Cheak out human practices tab for more infomation about this day).
