Week 7 (06/11 - 06/17/12)
Monday June 11th
- Team Sequencing: Sequencing of the first finished biobricks.
Tuesday June 12th
Wednesday June 13th
- Team Modeling: programming our first differential equation and finding the ODE15s function witch solves these equations.
- Team Bacterial laccase: since the GC amount of the S. griseus and S. lavendulae laccases are high we used betain to solve the PCR problem.
-> Addition of betain did not changed anything from the result we still haven't had our laccase DNA.
Thursday June 14th
- Team Activity Tests: Since our Tecan microplate reader is not able to actively cool down to 4 °C we got the chance to meet the photometer Carry. Check "protocols" for further information about her. We used the same set up with 100 mM natrium acetate buffer, 0,1 U T. versicolor laccase and 0,1 mM ABTS as before but now measured at 4°C. Our team is planning to visit a municipal sewage plant for getting some insights into the water conditions there, so we will for sure test other temperatures after having more information. Let´s hope the water there is a little warmer since laccase doesn´t seem to be totally satisfied at 4°C. I wouldn´t either.
