Week 2 (05/07 - 05/13/12)

  • Primerdesign for isolation of laccases from genomic DNA of Xanthomonas campestris B100, E. coli BL21(DE3) and Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061. The forward primers were designed with T7 promotor-overhanging ends after prefix and the first 20 bases of the wanted gene. The reverse primers were designed with a HIS-Tag and tweo stop codons before suffix and the last 20 bases of the wanted gene without the stop codon.
  • Successful PCRs of laccase genes CopA from Xanthomonas campestris B100, CueO from E. coli BL21(DE3) with the isolated genomic DNA as template.
  • Because we want to characterise laccases from different bacteria we had to order the bacterial strains, which weren't available at the University Bielefeld, from [http://www.dsmz.de/|DSMZ].

  • After some empty agarose gels we finally isolated laccase gene CotA from Bacillus pumilus ATCC7061 as a PCR product. As template we used the plasmid we got from the Swiss working group.
  • Team Modeling: Looking for suitable Software and enzymkinetics to model the degradation of our substartes with the different laccases. Finding the Michaelis-Menten kinetics and matlab.
