Lab Work - 29/07/09

Introduction

In yesterday's lab session we conducted mini-preps for three sets of JM109 E. coli cells which contained BioBricks BBa_C0056, BBa_B1002 and BBa_R0077 (seen as we picked three colonies for each of the BioBrick trasnformants there was a total of nine mini-preps conducted). A sample of these prepped plasmids were then run on agarose gel; although the undigested plasmid samples couldn't determine whether the DNA was in fact the BioBrick incorporated within the correct plasmid the gel certainly showed that the samples were consistent (trulin out contamination).

The next step in the lab plan is to digest samples of these 9 mini-preps and then run these fragments on agarose gel by DNA Gel Electrophoresis. As well as this, the team needs to consider another attempt at transforming E. coli with the BioBricks BBa_C0077 and BBa_C0076 (the transformations which didn't yield colonies on LB + ampicillin plates). In addition the team needs to start to freeze down cells which will probably be needed in the future.

Practical Outline

Before the day is out the team needs to carry out the following:

  1. Carry out a restriction digest on the 9 mini-preps using enzymes EcoRI and PstI
  2. Run the digest products on gel through DNA Gel Electrophoresis.
  3. Transform JM109 E. coli cells with BioBricks BBa_C0077 and BBa_C0076
  4. Inoculate tubes containing 5ml LB (+ antibiotic) with the cells that are to be frozen down


Procedure

Restriction Digests

The restriction enzyme digests were conducted by firstly inserting the following components to Eppendorf tubes:
