Marketing for 23rd June 2009
Today, I helped finish the July newsletter which will be ready be next week to sent out to our sponsors. Also I e-mailed some research and development companies and will do a follow-up soon.

Isolating LuxPQ in psB1AK3 from overnights
Purpose: isolate LuxPQ in psB1AK3 from overnights of Colony 4 to continue construction of signaling circuit. Plasmid was isolated from colony 4 of luxPQ. This was done using the SIGMA’s Genelute plasmid Miniprep Kit. Plasmid purity and concentration were measured using the NanoDrop Spectrophotometer.

1. Glycerol Stock
Glycerol stocks of R0040, B0015 J13002, and Pqrr4 were made in order to preserve them long term. The addition of glycerl is important because otherwise the cellular membrane would shear.
2. Plasmid Isolation
To obtain more isolated R0040, B0015, J1302, and Pqrr4, miniprep (plasmid isolation) was done on them.

PRIMA
Marketing & Sponsorship
After constantly following up with companies over the past few weeks, I successfully recruited Alberta Research Council to sponsor the University of Calgary's iGEM team. They have generously donated %250 dollars this year.
We also edited the June newsletter and discussed it with the rest of the marketing team prior to sending it to all the companies we had contacted (including those who have declined our proposal).

Sequencing of what I hope will be LuxOD47A BBK
I prepared a sample of the recently-formed-and-colony-PCR'd-and-NotI-restriction-digested LuxOD47A BBk for sequencing. This was done with BBk sequencing primers, in accordance with the sequencing protocol.
