Single Gene Plasmids and Enzyme Characterisation: 24th - 28th September 2012

Monday 24th September (9.00)

Adding cultures with pBAD(weak)+RBS-GFP, pLacI/Ara-1 pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-GFP and pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-WclY-terminator into liquid medium and incubation overnight

Uninduced and induced (L-arabinose for pBAD(weak) and IPTG for pLacI/Ara-1) tubes for each of the three constructs were added along with chloramphenicol (for pBAD(weak)+RBS-GFP and pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-GFP) and ampicillin (for pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-WclY-terminator) as the selection antibiotics. pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-WclY-terminator was used to determine basal levels of GFP fluorescence.

Tuesday 26th September (9.00)

• Send off OmpA for sequencing

Transformation of pBAD/AraC promoter weak+RBS-GFP, pBAD/AraC promoter strong+RBS-GFP, pBAD(large)+RBS-GFP, constitutive promoter+RBS-GFP, pLacI/Ara-1+RBS-GFP, WclY-pSB1C3, WbnJ-pSB1C3, WbbC-pSB1C3, WfcA-terminator and RBS-WbiP
