Craig and Clay

  • The ampicillin plates left overnight again displayed no growth. The electrotransformed parts will be re-plated onto ampicillin-selective plates as well as non-selective plates.

Tasks

Maria and Afton

  • Digest promoters: 101, 102, 103, 104
  • Possible Ligation of promoters with parts J06702, pSB4C5

Trentay 15:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Kevin and Adam

  • perform complete digestion and ligation
  • construct biobrick device (pSB4C5, BBa_E0240, BBa_J23100), and (pSB4C5, BBa_E0240, BBa_J23106)

  • The electrotransformed parts will be re-plated on ampicillin plates as well as on non-selective plates. Growth on non-selective plates will prove the existence of viable cells.

Wetlab

Maria and Afton

  • Spectophotometry of promoters: 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 107
  • Digestion/Ligation of promoters
  • Electrophoresis of promoter digestions: 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 107, (100)
  • Electrotransformation of ligated parts
    • two Cm plate had an unidentified growth in the refrigerator.
    • however, negative controls from the same plate stock show antibiotic is working
  • Picked colonies for overnight culture of J23106 w/ J06702 reporter
  • Made 3 overnight 5mL cultures of NEB 10 beta cell stock to prepare electrocompetent cells

Kevin and Adam

  • pSB4C5, BBa_E0240, and BBa_J06702 were frozen in box C-11 of the glycerol stocks

Craig and Clay

  • The electrotransformed parts were again plated on ampicillin-selective plates. They were also plated on non-selective media. One hundred microliters was used for each plate rather than the standard 35 microliters.
