Insertion of the pho gene into the pKSII+ plasmid
Kama
Tasks:
- Isolation of fragment of the correct lenght (∼2200bp) from the gel was performed with the A&A "Gel-out" kit.
- purified inserts of biggest concentration were taken to next steps of cloning (marked with an arrow, ~30ng/μl)
Cloning of p53 coding sequence
Marcin
Task 1:
- Breed bacteria to isolate plasmid containing p53 coding sequence
Methods:
- Prepare LB medium with kanamycin
- Add 3.5 ml of the medium to the probes
- Add one bacterial colony to each probe
- Breed the bacteria about 7 hours
Task 2:
- Isolate the plasmids from bacterial cultures and verify the effectivity of the isolation via gel electrophoresis
Methods:
- Plasmids weren isolated using the A&A plasmid mini kit. Detailed procedure of the isolation is described here
- After the isolation 1 ul of each plasmid solution was diluted to 10 ul and loaded into the 1% agarose gel
- Electrophoresis condition:
voltage - 70V
time - 30 min
- Next the gel was photographed:
Construction of K177012 operon1_part2
Ania
Tasks:
- Transformation of chemocompetent strain of E. with BBa_C0012 - lacI repressor on the pSB1A2 ampicillin resistant plasmid taken out of the distribution 200 Kit Plate 1 well 2O.
- Alkaline lysis of bacterial cultures to obtain plasmids containing following bricks:
BBa_R0051 - promoter (lambda cI regulated);
BBa_B0032 - RBS.3 (medium)
- Digestion to confirm plasmid extraction. DNA that should contain R0051 on pSB1A2 plasmid was digested with PvuI and HindII. Digestion mix contained 5µl of extracted DNA, 2µl of Fermentas BamHI buffer , 0.3µl of each enzyme and water added to obtain 20µl total volume.

Creating devices to test promoters in E. coli strains (devices BBa_K177024 and BBa_K177025)
Franek
Tasks:
- Alkaline lysis of bacterial cultures to obtain plasmids containing BBa_R0010 - lacI regulated promoter and BBa_R0080 - AraC regulated promoter bricks
- Digestion to confirm plasmid extraction.
Methods:
- 3 test tubes with 5ml LB and ampicillin were first inoculated with colonies containing placI or pAraC bricks on pSB1A2 plasmid. The cultures were incubated overnight at 37°C. Alkaline lysis was performed on both cultures, according to our standard procedure. The pellet from 5 ml of bacteria was used.
- DNA that should contain pAraC on pSB1A2 plasmid was digested with BamHI and PvuI, placI on pSB1A2 was digested with IPvuI and PvuII . Digestion mix contained 5µl of extracted DNA, 2µl of Fermentas BamHI buffer, 0.3µl of each enzyme and water added to obtain 20µl total volume. All mixes were incubated for 2h at 37°C.

Tasks:
- Transformation of ligation from previous day into competent E.coli strain Top10
- Plating of transformated culture on the LB+Amp plates and incubation in 37C degree.
Evaluating the quality of bacterial medium
Andrzej
Tasks:
- Transformation of E. coli strain DH5alpha with pKs vector as a positive control
Methods:
- If you want to see detailed procedure go here
- Bacteria was plated on the medium containing kanamycin
