What we did
J Malikowski
-Induced expression in non-biobrick expression vector containing 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (gene 2). Detection of product formation at 311 nm. Further studies will be conducted in the near future.
-Helped to troubleshoot minipreps and other protocols. Resident expert on minipreps.
-Trained Tyler to be an excellent Molecular Biologist.
-Advisory role at lab meetings (How does the Harper lab do it?)
Tyler Peterson -Major player in media preparation, agarose gels, stock solutions -Helped with minipreps and E. coli transformation.
Chris Martinez -Overall goal was to upregulate the cinnamaldehyde pathway in plants Wolffia and various Lemna species -Transformation of cinnamoyl-CoA Reductase (Gene 3) into TOPO D Vector -Used LR CLonase Protocal to move cinnamoyl-CoA Reductase (Gene 3) into pK7WG2D.1 Binary Vector which will be used to grow up Agrobacterium, which will be used to infect the plants Wolffia and Lemna species
