Plasmid Purification

Plasmid isolation was performed on the cultures of E.coli TOP10 containing plasmids BBa_J61002 with Zinc+RBS, Copper+RBS and Arsenic+RBS promoters and RFP with the "Sygma-Aldrich™ GenElute™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit".

  • From each tube 4mL of culture was collected in a 2.0mL cup, and the cells were pelleted by centrifugation for 1 min. at max. speed and the supernatant discarded.
  • Plasmids were eluted with 30μL MQ and stored in the fridge

Restriction Control

Isolated plasmids were cut with fast-digest enzymes EcoRI and PstI to cut out promoter-RFP, and create ~2000bp and ~950bp fragments.

→ From left to right: 1kB ladder, pArsR (4x), pCueO (3x), pZntR (3x)
→ The concentration of plasmids was not determined before restriction was done, and likely the concentration was to high to give a band at ~3000bp of uncut plasmid.

→ From left to right: 1kB ladder, pArsR (2x), pCueO (2x), pZntR (2x), Control BBa_J23101, Empty Slot
→ The 2% Agarose gel was run for 15 min. at 100V to get separation at low bp fragments, larger parts are grouped together at the top
→ The expected sizes are seen in the gel, plasmids can be send for sequencing!

Transporters

Metal Accumulation

  • Check pSB1AC3-mymT, fmt, smtA
    • Pick 3 colonies of E. coli TOP10 + pSB1AC3-mymT, fmt, smtA.
    • Add 1uL MQ and microwave 1min to lyse the cells.
    • Do colony PCR with VR/VF primers and RBS-fw/gene specific rev primers.
    • Run PCR products on gel.

    • From left to right:
Upper: SmtA-1 till 3, fMT 4-6, MymT 7-8, AC3 (using VF2/VR primers)
Lower: SmtA-1 till 3, fMT 4-6, MymT 7-9 (using gene specific primers)

Vectors

Metal promotors

origin of replication determines:

  • Vector copy number
  • Plasmid compatibility: its ability to replicate in conjuction with another plasmid.
    • Plasmids that utilize the same replication system cannot co-exist in the same bacterial cell.
    • pMB1* and ColE1 are in different compatibility group
    • pMB1 and ColE1 are too similar and thus not compatible

* pMB1 is the pUC19 derived ori present in pSB1AC3
