Progress of parts
[edit] Blue Light Receptor
- miniprep of ligY colonies. nannodrop: 111 ng/µl and 116 ng/µl.
- restriction digest of ligY miniprep
- gelelectrophoresis of restricted ligY and compared to ligA. the ligY fragment was larger than ligA which means that the ligation Y fauled. the promotor region probably ligated to RFP which was not restricted out of the vector properly.
- gel extraction of plasmid pSB1A2 (nanodrop: 10ng/µl)
- a new ligY was performed
- control of pcr-product . It was ok.
[edit] Vanillin Production
- Miniprep of COMT

- Restriction with S/P, SAMS2 P (was already cut with E/X) and EF3 with E/S
- Another attempt at electroporating EFT using EFT ligation from last week
- Gel electroforesis of 5 μl from the restriction sample (30 μl)
- Nothing in EF lane (no DNA???)
- Promotor showed again two results of 900bp and 2k bp (wut is going on?)
- An attempt was made to seperate the restriction enzymes by PCR purification on the remaining restriction sample, however nanodrop showed very confusing results, conclusion: let's not try this again. Next time heat inactivation of restriction enzymes to make sure they are inactive.
- Made mother plate of SAMS
[edit] Vanillin Receptor
- miniprep of virA in the uc vector, fragment was digested a the gelelectrophoresis showed a good result
- new restriction digest for virB was done
- TOPO-cloning for rpoA failed again, so due to deadlines we decided that there was to few time left to do the TOPO-cloning again or with new protocols and to do the mutagenesis also.
