Construction of the phage production control system.
  
   In order to produce a grate amount of P4 phage particles that has our death system, we want to avoid the natural
   early lysis that occur when WT P4 and P2 interact. This avoidance will be achieved by taking the control of the 
   two major regulators of P2 morphopoietic genes. The control systems that is going to be implemented is constituted 
   by a promoter inducible by IPTG in conjunction with transactivators [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] from phage P2. All this will 
   allow us to grow bacteria in grate quantities and induce lysis when ever we want and as a consequence the 
   production of grate amounts of P4 phage.

Qualitative characterization of the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242100 multipromoter].

   The multipromoter that we have designed has the capacity to respond specifically to T3/T7 RNA polymerases
   so if one or both polymarease are presente in the cell the genes downstream of this promoter will be active. 
   A first characterization approach is the introduction of a plasmid carring our promoter in the E. coli strain
   BL21(DE3)pLysS that has a T7 RNA polymerase inducible by IPTG

Primers for P2 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] genes arrived so we can start to construct the phage production system control.

To attain control of phage production we are going to put under an IPTG inducible promoter the genes that codify for the principal regulators of the morphopoietic genes and delete genes that doesn't belongs to the morphopoietic group this part will be done by Laura Gomez.

The genes that codify for this regulators are going to be amplified via colony PCR from the E. coli C-177 strain, which has a lysogenic form of phage P2. The primers that we are using amplify the genes with its WT RBS's and also introduce an extra stop codon as required by the standardization protocol and also de suffix and prefix iGEM sequences.

It is known that C-1a strain neither has a [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] gene nor an [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] gene while C-1a K-12 strain contain a copy of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] in its genome. We have performed a colony PCR over the next strains, looking for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox].

July 31, 2009

Colony PCR is going to be done with strain C-1a and C-117 as a control DH5alpha which has 17, we are going to confirm that C-1a doesn't has a P2 by means of PCR for P2 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] genes.

  Ogr:

Strains were platted on June 19, 2009 and were maintained at 4ºC and also a glycerol stock was created for C-1a and C-117. With a wood stick bacteria was taken and inoculated in LB without any selection.

The inoculated medium was incubated at 37ºC 250 rpm. for 1 hr. and then centrifuged at maximum speed with a tabletop centrifuge, supernatant was discarded and 200 µL of Tris-EDTA 10/1-NaCl 10mM added. The samples were heated over 10 min at 95ºC and then centrifuged again 2 min. 10µL of supernatant were taken for the PCR.

PCR Reaction:

   Water         24µL
   Buffer 10x    5µL
   MgCl2 50mM    2.5µL
   dNTP's 0.4mM  3.5µL
   Taq           1µL
   primer up     2.5µL
   primer low    2.5µL
   DNA           10µL
   Total         50µL

PCR results:
 
	Control		-
	C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+
	C-1a/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	-
	DH5alpha/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+
	C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]	+
	C-1a/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]	-
	DH5alpha/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]	-

The PCR's were consistent with previous results in literature. For example [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] was positive for DH5alpha which is a derivative from K-12 and we could not obtain PCR products from C-1a. C-117 which has P2 in lysogenic state gave use positive PCR products for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox].

August 3, 2009

We prepared overnights of DH5alpha which contain the BioBricks [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1AK3 pSB1AK3] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] the selective medium was 50µL/mL Kanamycin and 20µL/mL Tetracycline respectively

August 4, 2009

We redo the colony PCR for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] only using the C-117 strain. The PCR products were purified using the High Pure PCR Product Roche's Purification Kit and also plasmidic DNA was purified from the last overnights using the High Pure Plasmid Roche's Isolation Kit. The plasmids that were purified are going to used to add a double terminator sequence to [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and clone [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] for future manipulations.

Restriction Reactions:

	DNA	10µL
	Ezimas	.5µL each one  
	Buffer	2µL

The las reaction gave as a result the next parts:

       1)[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3]  
       2)[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3]

DH5alpha competent cells were transformed and platted on LB Agar with appropriate selection, for both constructions this selection was Tetracycline.

August 6, 2009

The [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] PCR product was cut with EbaI/PstI and cloned in [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] that was digested with the same enzymes and dephosphorylated as mentioned earlier. And then we performed a ligation reaction. The resulting BioBrick was named I-09#021.

	1) [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] EcoRI/PstI

Restriction Reaction:

	DNA	10µL
	Ezimas	.5µL 
	Buffer	2µL
	Water	7µL
	Total	20µL

A 1% agarose gel was prepared and run 1 hr. 85 V. to see the insert and plasmid concentration. Unfortunately we loose our [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr's] PCR product so we performed a new PCR only for this gene.

August 7, 2009

The PCR for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] was done using the DNA from strain C-117.

PCR Reaction:

	Water 	23µL
	Buffer	5µL
	MgCl2	2.5µL
	dNTPs 	.5	each
	Taq/pol	1µL
	Oligo	2.5	each
	DNA	10µL
	Total	50µL

PCR:
	
	1) Control	+
	2) C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+
	3) C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+
	4) C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+
	5) C-117/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]	+

An Agarose gel was run and we find that one of our reactants was contaminated because our negative control was positive that PCR is going to be repeated but with different reactants

August 10, 2009

We are going to change the PCR reagents because we don't know if they are contaminated and perform the next PCR reaction.

Reagents to be changed:

 1)primers for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]
 2)buffer 10X
 3)MgCl2

I'm going to do again the PCR for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] only from C-117 and as a control C-1a and DH5alpha the former control neither has a [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] gene nor an [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] gene.

August 11, 2009

The PCR for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] was done again and everything looked OK so we purified the PCR products with the High Pure PCR Product Roche's Purification Kit. An Agarose gel was run to see how much DNA was lost during the purification procedure and the using this information to add the right amount of restriction enzymes.

The first three lanes are [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] amplified using the prefix and suffix primer for these genes

Agust 13, 2009

Plasmid 18 was dephosphorylated because we are going to insert in it the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] product that was amplified yesterday.

Dephosphorylation Reaction:

  Plasmid    20µL
  Buffer     3µL
  Enzyme     1µL
  Water      6µL
    
    Incubation:

    1)15 min --> 37ºC
    2)5 min  --> 65ºC

This plasmid that is going to be ligated with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] is digested EcoRI/PstI.

[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] was cut with EcoRI/SpeI and the plasmid that contain [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] with EcoRI/XbaI because we are going to insert [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] into this plasmid in order to concatenate [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015.

August 14, 2009

Vector [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] was dephosphorylated and again a 1% Agarose gel was run with the vector and the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] PCR product to check concentrations and posterior to this a ligation reaction was performed.

The Ligase enzyme that we are using is T4 DNA ligase from New England Biolabs which has the following reaction conditions

10 min at 23ºC and for inactivation incubate 20 min at 70ºC

Ligation Reaction:

	T4 Ligase	1µL
	Buffer		2µL
	[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]		2µL
	[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3]		5µL
	Water		10µL
	Total		20µL

Once the ligation reaction finished we transformed DH5alpha competent cells and platted them on selective medium.

August 18, 2009

We started to prepare glycerol for the BrioBricks and Strains that we have finished to store them at -70ºC.

The [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0010 BBa_R0010]/[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A2 pSB1A2] which has an IPTG inducible promoter is going to be purified and digested to put under the control of this promoter the construction [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015].

The plasmid was digested with SpeI/PstI and the insert with XbaI/PstI.

To construct [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] we took [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] that was in [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] also in [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] and perform the following reactions:

Restriction Reaction:
					       Resistance
	[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015]	XbaI/PstI	  Tet
	[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]	        EcoRI/SpeI	  Tet
	[http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1C3 pSB1C3]		        EcoRI/PstI	  Cm

We expect white colonies and resistant to Cm because [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1C3 pSB1C3] has cloned an RFP protein that is expressed constitutively.

August 20, 2009

We performed restriction reactions with different colonies that carry the same plasmid to perform parallel constructions to avoid the case where a mutation could arise over one of the constructions leading this to the need of doing again the whole construction from a previous step.

DH5alpha strains that contain the listed plasmids below were grown in selective media and plasmid purification was performed and afterwards it was digested.

Plasmids:
	
	1) ogr	XbaI/PstI
	2) ogr+pSB1CB	XbaI/PstI
	3) ogr+pSB1CB	EcoRI/PstI
	4) ogr+pSB1CB	EcoRI/PstI
	5) ogr+pSB1CB	EcoRI/PstI
	6) BBa_J04450	EcoRI/PstI
	7) ogr+BBa_PB1005	EcoRI/PstI
	8) BBa_J04450	EcoRI/PstI
       9) cox

August 21, 2009

An 1% Agarose gel was run for 1hr. at 85 V.

With this gel was confirmed that [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr] is cloned in [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] and now we can make a glycerol for this strain.

August 29, 2009

From ligation and transformation on Ago 25 a restriction analysis form tree selected proteins.

We are going to cut the purified plasmid from transformed cells in the following way:

	1) I-09#012	SpeI/PstI
	2) I-09#24.1	XbaI/PstI
	3) I-09#24.2	XbaI/PstI

We will try to repeat the procedure to see if we are luckier.

September 7, 2009

Again we dephophorylated vector I-09#017 to ligate it with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015 and then perform a transformation

September 11, 2009

Colony PCR reactions were done with selected colonies that resulted from the last transformation the resulting and tow of the twenty-one looked like they contained [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] verification with a restriction assay was done and also [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015+18 was purified and opened digested with EcoRI/PstI to be prepared in case last ligation don't work.

September 15, 2009

The ligation didn't work, I planned to follow a different strategy first purify the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] fragment using Low melt point Agarose, we are using this procedure because the plasmido that contain [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] is the samen as the one that has [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015 and as a consequence the same antibiotic resistance gene, so by separating the DNA by electrophoresis we can take apart [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] gene and the ligated in to the dephoshorylated plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015 that was digested EcoRI/XbaI, the resultin plasmid will be [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015.

September 22, 2009

Band purification:

Quiagen gel exration kit was used for this.

An 1% Low melt point agarose gel was loaded with the sample that contained [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+18, the gel was stained with ethdium bromaid and saw with a transluminator. Once we saw our band it was cut from the gel and transferred to an 1.5 mL tube and weighted (0.13g) in the kit protocol they propose an equivalences of buffer 100mg~100µL so we have to add 3 volumes of each 130µL of buffer and follow the kit protocol.

September 23, 2009

A ligation is going to be done with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015, [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015+18 was dephosphorylated and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] was purified via gel. As a control we will try to religate the dephosphorylated plasmid, the same plasmid not dephosphorylated and a uncut plasmid which must transform because was not digested.

DH5alpha competent cells were transformed and platted over selective media in this case Tet.

September 24, 2009

All controls resulted as expected so the must probable is that we achieved to ligate [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015+18 I prepared overnights to extract plasmid tomorrow and perform a restriction assay to see if we have the fragment of interest.

September 25, 2009

To check last ligations a restriction assay is going to be done in a way that allows us to do the next ligation and finish the phage production control system.

Restriction Reactions:

As the image show on the first 7 lanes we were able to ligate [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015+18 every of the selected clones has the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] insert so this procedure was faster than the fisr that we tried to use the only thing is that you need to purify the insert via an Agarose gel and the ligate it to the plasmid of interest.

We are ready for the last step, we are going to add the IPTG inducible promoter to get the following structure.

The second lane sample was selected for ligation with IPTG

DH5alpha competent cells were transformed and platted over LB Amp100 and incubate at 37ºC

September 28, 2009

Controls were inconsistent in particular the re-ligation of dephosphorylated plasmid which gave the same amount of colonies compared with ligation of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015 and 12 so we are going to re-dephosphorylate the vector 12 and perform a new ligation reaction.

Dephosphorylation Reaction:

  Enzyme       1µL

    Incubation 
    1)10 min --> 25ºC
    2)20 min --> 65ºC

A 1% agarose gel was run to see the concetration of the plasmid and the insert, this to put the right amounts of insert and plasmid.

The samples that we are looking on the gel correspon to [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015]+18 digested with XbaI/SpeI and 12

Once we checked concetrations we can do the ligation reaction.

DH5alpha competent cells were transformed on LB agar Amp100 and incubated overnight 37ºC

September 29, 2009

Four colonies were selected an re-platted and also liquid 5 mL of LB was inoculated to prepare cultures for plasmid extraction.

September 30, 2009

An 1% Agarose gel was run to check concentrations for restriction assays and by this be able to know if we have the fragment we are interested.

The four plasmids were digested EcoRI/PstI

Restriction Reactions:

 Buffer     2µL
 BSA      0.2µL
 DNA       10µL
 Enzyme     1µL each  EcoRI/PstI
 Water    5.8µL

The insert looks shifted upwards but a little amount so we didn't achieve to ligate the iptg to [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] this is strange because the plasmid maintained its size so the promoter is not there.I've checked the plasmid size an it is 2079 bp so the plasmid doesn't has the promoter.

Going back further when I digested for the first time plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A2 pSB1A2] I did it with SpeI/PstI to allow promoter to be at the beginning of the construction.The insert [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] was digested XbaI/PstI so I think the unique alternative is that promoter ipteg wasn't in the plasmid.

In this circumstance we can only say that we changed [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] from plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] to [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A212 pSB1A212] that is resitantant to Amp.

October 5, 2009

To test for the activity of the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242100 multipromoter] that we designed and synthesized, we are going to transform E. coli BL21(DE3)plysS from novagen. This strain uses a T7 phage polymerase that is controlled thorough Lac promoter. The multipromoter is composed of T7 & T3 promoters, we expect that our construction will respond to IPTG.

The IPTG preparation protocol we used is discribed [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IPTG HERE!!!]

Transformed cells were platted on LB medium with Kn and IPTG .5 mM and expect that the colonies will fluoresce and could be seeing with a transluminator.

Octuber 6, 2009

We took a look to the LB Agar plates with a transluminator at a wavelength of 395nm but because we didn't have a filter for GFP emitting wavelength we couldn't discriminate for our wavelength of interest.

We are going to try other approach this time with a microscope more suitable to see GFP.

Cultures were prepared as follows:

    10 µL IPTG 1M               +               -             +

For the induction of protein production we started our culture at .1 abs 620nm in 100mL LB and waited until it reached 0.35 abs 620 nm then we added IPTG to a final concentration of 0.1mM and then we leave the culture media for four hours.

5mL of each culture were centrifuged at max speed and the supernatant was discarded. We prepared our samples to see them. Using a microscope with suitable filters and light to see GFP we compared the cultures between them

    Results:
                Bl21/m+     Bl21/m+    Bl21/m-
      IPTG        +            -         +
                 ++++         ++         -          Fluorescence

In frame is BL21/multipromoter with IPTG inducer at 100X. Unfortunately the microscope and camera were not suitable to check in full detail BL21/m- IPTG+, which gave no fluorescence, and Bl21/multipromoter IPTG-, which presented a diminished fluorescence.

This results support the functioning of multipromoter for T7 polymerase.

Great NEWS!!! our promoter worked for T7 RNA polymerase

For future experiments to get a better characterization look result site.

October 20, 2009

I prepared cultures to purify plasmid that contains the parts that we are planning to send to the registry.

+The ligation didn't work, I planned to follow a different strategy first purify the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] fragment using Low melt point Agarose, we are using this procedure because the plasmido that contain [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox] is the samen as the one that has [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+BBa_B0015 and

+this is strange because the plasmid maintained its size so the promoter is not there.I've checked the plasmid size an it is 2079 bp so the plasmid doesn't has the promoter.
+Going back further when I digested for the first time plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A2 pSB1A2] I did it with SpeI/PstI to allow
+promoter to be at the beginning of the construction.The insert [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] was digested XbaI/PstI so I think the unique alternative is that promoter ipteg wasn't
+in the plasmid.
+In this circumstance we can only say that we changed [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242002 cox]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242001 ogr]+[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 BBa_B0015] from plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1T3 pSB1T3] to [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A212 pSB1A212] that is resitantant to

+== October 5, 2009 ==
+To test for the activity of the [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K242100 multipromoter] that we designed and synthesized, we are going to
+transform E. coli [https://2009.igem.org/Team:LCG-UNAM-Mexico/Resources/Strains#Expression_Strains BL21(DE3)plysS] from novagen. This strain uses a T7 phage polymerase that is controlled thorough Lac promoter. The multipromoter is composed of T7 & T3 promoters, we expect that our construction will respond to IPTG.
+The IPTG preparation protocol we used is discribed [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IPTG  HERE!!!]
+Transformed cells were platted on LB medium with Kn and IPTG .5 mM and expect that the colonies will fluoresce
+and could be seeing with a transluminator.
+== Octuber 6, 2009 ==
+We took a look to the LB Agar plates with a transluminator at a wavelength of 395nm but because we didn't have a
+filter for GFP emitting wavelength we couldn't discriminate for our wavelength of interest.
+We are going to try other approach this time with a microscope more suitable to see GFP.

+µL IPTG 1M               +               -             +
+For the induction of protein production we started our culture at .1 abs 620nm in 100mL LB and waited until it reached 0.35 abs 620 nm then we added IPTG to a final concentration of 0.1mM and then we leave the culture media for four
+hours.
+mL of each culture were centrifuged at max speed and the supernatant was discarded. We prepared our samples
+to see them. Using a microscope with suitable filters and light to see GFP we compared the cultures between them
+     Results:
+                 Bl21/m+     Bl21/m+    Bl21/m-

+[[Image:Gfp multi.JPG |280px]]
+In frame is BL21/multipromoter with IPTG inducer at 100X. Unfortunately the microscope and camera were not suitable to check in full detail BL21/m- IPTG+, which gave no fluorescence, and Bl21/multipromoter IPTG-, which presented a diminished fluorescence.
+This results support the functioning of multipromoter for T7 polymerase.
+Great NEWS!!! our promoter worked for T7 RNA polymerase
