ColiGuard

Minipreps from BBa_E0840, BBa_I718017, BBa_J61000 and BBa_I78016

• Today we performed minipreps from yesterday's inoculated cultures, related to the biobricks already cited.

• We followed Protocol 2, without modification.

Purification of pTet and double terminator biobricks

• Once we digested those biobricks yesterday, we could proceed today to the purification of the target band from an agarose gel.

• We used Invitrogen's Purelink Quick Gel Extraction Kit, following the manufacturer's protocol (Protocol 7), without modifications.

CeaB and CeiB transformation into plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A3 pSBA3]

• Today, we dephosphorilated the plasmid [http://partsregistry.org/Part:pSB1A3 pSBA3], immediately started the ligation reaction of this unphosphorylated plasmid with CeaB and CeiB respectively. In view of for this dephosphorylation use buffer salt that could be interfering in the next transformation, we performed a dyalisis so that get samples free salts. At last, we transformated competent E. coli (according to the protocol 3) and plated the respective plates. This time we expect to obtain transforming cells. .

Dephosphorylation - CIAP test

• The E.coli didn´t grow in any of the plates again. =[ We discovered that the electrocompetent E.coli that we used yesterday were dead! So we transformed another electrocompetent E.coli using the rest of the ligation reactions we had. We extremely hope to find colonies tomorrow!
