- The overnight culture of the three parts related to limonene synthesis were unsuccessful. Possible reasons include bad parts, errors in electrotransformation procedure, and incorrect resistance.
Tasks
Afton and Maria
- Make stocks of parts J23106 and J06702
- Miniprep of parts J23106 and J06702
- Digestion of parts J23106 and J06702, (and J23100)
- Electrophoresis test of parts J23106 and J06702
- May Ligate parts with backbones pSB1C3 and pSB4C5 and store DNA
- Write out complete plan for experimentation
- Make plans to MaxiPrep
- Write out a plan to organize ideas

- BBa_I742111, BBa_K118024, and BBa_K118025 need to be plated again.
- If the new plates also show no growth, electrotransformation of the parts will be performed again.
- If this proves to be unsuccessful, the cells from this second electrotransformation will also be plated a second time. The cells will also be plated on non-resistant media.
- If growth is again unsuccessful, the cells grown on the non-resistant media will be streaked on kanamycin and chloramphenicol plates.
Wetlab
Afton and Maria
- Dilution of overnight culture
- 2 mL of overnight culture was added to 4 mL of LB broth (6 mL)
- 2 dilutions were done for each test tube
- Cells not used in the MiniPrep will be stored in the -80 degree Celsius freezer
- 2 mL of overnight culture was added to 4 mL of LB broth (6 mL)
- 500mL of 30 percent Glycerol stock was made
- Cell stocks were made
- 10 vials of J06702 were put in the -80 degree Celsius freezer
- 5 vials of J23106 were put in the -80 degree Celsius freezer
- MiniPrep was done on parts: J23106 and J6702
- Amount of DNA was calculated with a Spectrophotometer
- Digestion was performed on MiniPrepped parts
- There are two digested J06702 PCR tubes
- Digests will be frozen until Monday
- Electrophoresis test will be held off until then
- Ligation as well

- The electrotransformed parts were plated again (ampicillin plates) due to unsuccessful growth. Fifty microliters was used instead of 35 microliters.
