Progress of parts

[edit] Blue Light Receptor

[edit] Vanillin Production

  • Miniprep sam8, sam5, ech, fcs plasmids in triple
  • Nanodrop concentrations:
Part concentration (ng/μl) 260/280 λ
Sam8 A 58,2 1,87
Sam8 B 63,2 1,93
Sam5 A 94,6 1,92
Sam5 B 125,0 1,91
Sam5 C 104,2 1,91
Ech A 88,6 1,92
Ech B 96,7 1,95
Ech C 105,6 1,86
Fcs A 84,4 1,88
Fcs B 113,4 1,95
Fcs C 90,3 1,92


  • We took the plasmids with the lowest concentrations to perform the restriction test, described above. Afterwards, we ran the restriction products, together with uncut plasmids, on a gel.
  • Calculations for restriction:
Part µl DNA µl MQ
Sam8 A 8,7 7,3
Sam5 A 5,3 10,7
Ech A 5,6 10,4
Fcs A 5,9 10,1


  • Meanwhile ... one plated EF colony seemed to have grown. Made fluid culture of EF.

[edit] Vanillin Receptor

  • Continued with ethanol precipitation for R. Electroporation and outplating were performed
