Metal Sensing Team

Introduction and Outline

So far we have transformed DH5-alpha E. coli cells with two of our synthesized BioBricks, which are the cotC-GFP-smtA and the kinA BioBricks. The Metal Sensing team have since taken these transformant colonies and used them to set up LB+kanamycin cultures for mini-preps and midi-preps; these were then left overnight in the orbital shaking incubator and are awaiting processing today. However there are a range of tasks which need to be accomplished today; these are listed below:

  • Prepare Mini-preps of the kinA and cotC-GFP-smtA transformants
    • Carry out the mini-prep processes
    • Analyse the mini-prep DNA by treating with restriction enzymes.
  • PCR the cotC-GFP-smtA BioBrick with pMK15 and pMK16
    • Set up the PCR
    • Run the PCR for the correct duration
    • Analyse PCR products through DNA gel electrophoresis
    • Clean up PCR products if PCR reaction proves to be successful
  • Midi-prep cotC-GFP-smtA, kinA, pGFP-rrnB, pMUTIN4 and pSB1AT3
    • Carry out the five midi-preps.
    • Quantify the midi-prep samples
    • Run the midi-prep samples on agarose gel through DNA gel electrophoresis
  • Run products from a PCR reaction involving arsR and cadA DNA
    • Run PCR products on gel
    • If successful, clean up fragments, run on gel again, cut with restriction enzymes NheI and BamHI, clean and then ligate together fragments.


Procedure

The following procedures were carried out:

Freeze the kinA and cotC-GFP-smtA transformant cells

PCR the cotC-GFP-smtA BioBrick with pMK15 and pMK16

Midi-prep cotC-GFP-smtA, kinA, pGFP-rrnB, pMUTIN4 and pSB1AT3

Run products from a PCR reaction involving arsR and cadA DNA
