ColiGuard

Another PCR colony of BBa K112806 + BBa B0015, another failure...

  • A lot of colonies have grown again, we selected 15 to do the Colony PCR, but none of them was positive.

  • We are really worried with this, our time is finishing. We decided to chenge radically our strategy. We will change the terminator to BBa B0014 instead of BBa B0015 because the digestion of B0015 is not working. We let B0014 digesting ON with EcoRI and XbaI

finO and finP with pGEM - confirmation

  • We decided that we are going to confirm such ligations by performing:

-A Digestion: with XbaI and SpeI restriction enzymes, in order to release our parts from pGEM plasmid;

-A PCR: performed with the specific forward primer for our insert and with the reverse primer for pGEM plasmid (M13), in order to confirm that, once our inserts are indeed in there, they are also in the correct frame position.

  • Seeing that, today we performed the digestion with EcoRI and SpeI for all of our minipreps samples that actually worked. Digestion lasted 3 hours.

  • According to the picture, the digestion excised a fragment of expected size (600 bp for finO and 120 bp for finP) in almost all samples! That's an important clue on confirming our inserts's correctly ligation!

PY Promoter - Colony-PCR screening

  • We selected 13 colonies of the transformation we did yesterday to perform a colony-PCR screening. We used 2 pairs of primers:

-VF/VR, the verification primers of BBa_J23100 plasmid.

-Ppy-F-1 and Ppy-R, the pair of primers that amplify our inserted sequence (PY1).

  • We analyzed the results of our PCR in an agarose gel:

YeastGuard

New strategy: pGEM

  • The plates containing E. coli transformed with pDLD didn’t grow. We repeated the ligation reaction and transformed competent E. coli again.

  • We transformed the ligation between Lysozyme and biofusion, performed yesterday, in competent E. coli and plated in LB+Amp media.

  • The pJEN1 plates showed colonies, we did the colony PCR to find a correct construction of the pJEN1 in Biofusion. We confirmed 12 of 20 colonies.

  • We repeated the ligation reaction of JENorf with pGEM. We transformed and plated in LB+amp media.

YFP+Terminator

  • We transformed the ligation between YFP+end and Adh1 promoter, performed yesterday, in competent E. coli and plated in LB+Amp media.

pADH1+YFP

  • Today we started the experiments to obtain a new device in biobrick format. It’s the ADH1+YFP biobrick.

  • First of all, we did these digestions: 1)YFP digestion using the enzymes XbaI and PstI; 2)pADH1 (biofusion) digestion using the enzymes SpeI and PstI.

YEP

We transformed E. coli with YEP plasmid (Protocol 3)
