From 2009.igem.org

  1. The plates with ligation A (blp + GFP) were fetched from the blue light installation. There was no GFP signal. The following actions will be taken:
    • The plasmids will be purified from the colonies and will be sequenced using primer 2260.
    • Next time, we will probably put them in liquid cultures under the LED's while shaking gently. Also, other parameters that need to be considered are being researched.
    • They will not be exposed to the light as long anymore. We decided that 1h will be more than enough.
    • Possible bleaching?
  2. A colony from all three plates with the LigA-construct was taken and ented in liquid culture. This was needed to check whether the colonies were still alive.
    • culture 13/08
    • culture 14/08 (1)
    • culture 14/08 (2)
  3. By 5pm, one of the liquid cultures had grown and was miniprepped. 20μl was sent for sequencing together with 5μM of primer 2260.
Part concentration (ng/μl) 260/280 λ
LigA (14/08 (1)) 23,1 2,21

4. Two electroporations were performed and plated on LB medium. One with LigC ( + ) and one with DNA.
