Plan
Aim: Create bacteria that produce a noxious odour when induced to do so
Methods:
- Clone the yqiT gene from Bacillus subtilis into a biobrick vector.
- Make constructs that express this gene constitutively and under the control of an inducible promoter.
June
6/5
Constructs to be created:
- yqiT
- ptetR-RBS-yqiT-dterm
- pAraC-RBS-yqiT-dterm
- 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

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:
- Mix 1ul of DNA with 100ul of competent cells on ice.
- Leave on ice for 30 minutes.
- Heat shock at 42°Cfor 45 seconds.
- Leave on ice for 2 minutes.
- Add 500ul of LB and incubate at 37°C 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:
- PCR yqiT gene from genome
- purify DNA from the PCR product
- digest GFP generator and purified PCR product by XbaI/PstI
- gel-purify the digested vector (GFP generator without the insert i.e. empty) and the yqiT gene
- ligate the above 2 fragments of DNA together
- transform into E. coli and select for ampicillin resistance
- check for transformation success using colony PCR by yqiT primers
