Starting the Team

Beginning in january, february members of the former iGEM team from Bielefeld started sem

Labjournal

Week 1 (30.04.-06.05.12)

  • Start of our WET LAB time.
  • Generating new competent E.coli cells.
  • weekly seminar:
    • Do we want to order strains of Trametes versicolor and Trametes villosa?
    • Gathering information about signal sequences in yeast
    • Decision to create a database, so that we can easily number and inscribe our lab results
    • Decision to arrange a summer school for pupils in their last year before the final exams
    • Discussion about how to meet a member of the german Bundestag (the german parliament)

Week 2 (07.05.- 13.05.12)

  • Doing the first steps to prepare a the Student Acadamy in cooperation with the CeBiTec. Finding suitable BioBricks to develop an coulourful and easy experiment. Trying to isolate the GFP and RFP containing plasmid and to transform an Plasmidmix to produce colored Agar-plates.
  • Successful PCRs of laccase genes CopA from Xanthomonas campestris B100, CueO from E. coli BL21(DE3) and CotA from Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061 with genomic DNA as template. The primers were designed with T7 promotor-overhanging ends after prefix and HIS-Tag before suffix.

Week 3 (14.05.- 20.05.12)

  • Cloning of CueO (E. coli), CopA (Xanthomonas campestris) and CotA (Bacillus pumilus) in pSB1C3-backbone.

Week 4 (21.05.- 27.05.12)

  • Successful PCRs of laccase genes from Thermus thermophilus HB27 and Bacillus halodurans C-125 with genomic DNA as template. The primers were designed with T7-Promotor-overhanging ends after prefix and HIS-Tag-overhang before suffix.

Week 5 (28.05.- 03.06.12)

  • Cloning of CotA (Bacillus halodurans), Tth-laccase (Thermus thermophilus) and ccdB in pSB1C3-backbone.

Week 6 (04.06.- 10.06.12)

Week 7 (11.06.- 17.06.12)

Week 8 (18.06.- 24.06.12)
