Plan

Aim: Create bacteria that produce a noxious odour when induced to do so

Methods:

  1. Clone the yqiT gene from Bacillus subtilis into a biobrick vector.
  2. Make constructs that express this gene constitutively and under the control of an inducible promoter.

6/5

Constructs to be created:

  1. yqiT
  2. ptetR-RBS-yqiT-dterm
  3. pAraC-RBS-yqiT-dterm
  4. pLacI-RBS-yqiT-dterm

Obtaining DNA:

Resuspended DNA in the following wells with 10ul water:

Plate 1 1D
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_R0080 AraC regulated promoter]

Plate 1 12E
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_R0010 LacI regulated promoter]

Plate 1 1H
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_B0030 Strong RBS]

Plate 1 13B

Plate 2 24C
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_B0014 Double terminator]

Transformed 1ul of each of the above into DH5a competent cells:

Transformation

  • Mix 1ul of DNA with 100ul of competent cells on ice.
  • Leave on ice for 30 minutes.
  • Heat shock at 42℃ for 45 seconds.
  • Leave on ice for 2 minutes.
  • Add 500ul of LB and incubate at 37℃ for 1 hour.
  • Plate on LB-ampicillin plates.

Creating a biobrick part out of yqiT

Strategy: PCR out the yqiT gene from the Bacillus subtilis genome using primers to attach the biobrick preffix/suffix and clone this into a biobrick vector. The vector utilized is the GFP generator which houses a sufficient-sized insert:


Plate 1 16E (from 2007 iGEM distribution provided by Chiba University)
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_E0840 GFP generator]


Overview:

  1. PCR yqiT gene from genome
  2. purify DNA from the PCR product
  3. digest GFP generator and purified PCR product by XbaI/PstI
  4. gel-purify the digested vector (GFP generator without the insert i.e. empty) and the yqiT gene
  5. ligate the above 2 fragments of DNA together
  6. transform into E. coli and select for ampicillin resistance
  7. check for transformation success using colony PCR by yqiT primers

The following primers were used to amplify an approx. 1500bp fragment from the Bacillus subtilis genome.

1. 95℃ 2 minutes
2. 95℃ 30 seconds
3. 50℃ 30 seconds
4. 72℃ 40 seconds
5. Repeat 2-4 23 times
6. 25℃ ∞

Purified PCR product using the Promega PCR purification kit.

Ran on gel to visualize bands:

PCR unsuccessful: will digest the GFP generator but cannot perform the ligation without the PCR product.

Cut out the second band from the bottom and dissolved the gel using the Promega gel purification kit to extract DNA from.

This DNA is stored for later usage as the GFP generator X/P vector fragment.
