Progress of parts

[edit] Blue Light Receptor

[edit] Vanillin Production

Miniprep of pairs:

  • RBS + sam5 conc: 101,3 ng/ul
  • RBS + sam8 conc: 95.7 ng/ul
  • sam8 conc: 81,8 ng/ul
  • COMT , conc: 122,9 ng/ul


Restriction digestion
A1: sam8, EcoRI en SpeI
A2: sam5, EcoRI en XbaI

B1: RBS, EcoRI en SpeI
B2: COMT, EcoRI en XbaI

C1: fcs, EcoRI en SpeI
C2: ech, EcoRI en XbaI

The mixture was incubated in 37°C for 1h30...

...followed by gel electrophoresis of the digested parts

[edit] Vanillin Receptor

  • Gel electrophoresis was done to see if PCR has worked. VirA, virB and rpoA showed a clear result. We performed miniprep on those genes to purify and clear them. VirG didn't show any result.
  • We did a new PCR for all the genes and especially for virG with a better annealing temperature. The gel electrophoresis showed a good and clear result for all the genes.
