Week 8
Monday
Wet Work
Threshold device
Transformed 72, 92, 94, and 95 in pSB3K3 into arabinose strain.
Melanin Biobrick
Did the last stage of PCR for the Melanin Biobrick creation. Fragments AB and CF were added with primers A and F and the Finnzymes enzyme, then run on a CYBR-safe gel. The results showed smears rather than bands. As the CF fragment was a little dodgy on the first extraction it was decided to re-extract and try again.
The CF band was reproduced and extracted in the afternoon, creating more CF fragment stock.
