Maria and Afton
- Overnight culture of I1352 plated on AMP:
- Sample taken from plate after PSB4C5 ligation attempt successfully grew expressing RFP. The color of the sample was pink
- Sample taken from plate after ligation with itself did not grow at all, and expressed no RFP
- There is a possibility the pSB4C5 backbone may be a bad part
- previous years it has not functioned properly
- Gel electrophoresis indicates DNA Gel Purification may be necessary
- Possible inefficiency of BioBrick enzymes may have come from repeated freezing and thawing
- They will be aliquoted into smaller amounts

- New BioBrick Assembly Kit came in and the following were aliquoted into their respective amounts
- XbaI (10 µL)
- SpeI (5 µL)
- PstI (10 µL)
- EcoRI-HF (10 µL)
- BSA (5 µL)
- T4 Ligase Buffer (10 µL)
- T4 Ligase (5 µL)
Maria and Afton
- Gel Electrophoresis was run
- pSB4C5 and I1352 digested and undigested (right after Miniprep) were run on a gel and results showed excessive bands in the undigested DNA. DNA Gel Purification will be done on future Miniprepped DNA
- pSB1C3 w/ P1010 was removed from Well 5E on Plate 1 of the Distribution Kit and resuspended in 10µL of TE Buffer.
- Transformation was done using DB 3.1
