Creating devices to test promoters in E. coli strains (devices [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177024 BBa_K177024] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177025 BBa_K177025])

Franek


Tasks:

  • Selecting clones with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177024 BBa_K177024] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177025 BBa_K177025]


Methods:

  • Tranformants with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177024 BBa_K177024] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177025 BBa_K177025] clones were recognised due to the fluorescence under UV light.
  • 4 positive [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177024 BBa_K177024], and 16 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177025 BBa_K177025] were found.
  • Each clone was transferred to new plate with LB, agar-agar and IPTG or 0.2 % arabinose. Liquid cultures were also established.


Results:

  • [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177024 BBa_K177024] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177025 BBa_K177025] were successfully created!

Cloning of the mgtc promoter into the pKSII+ plasmid

Kamil


Tasks:

  • Bacteria transformation

Methods:

  • A 200μl batch of chemocompetent bacteria was transformed with 15μl of ligation mix and incubated overnight on petri dishes containing LB medium supplemented with ampicilin, X-gal and IPTG.

Results:

The transformation yielded only a couple of blue colonies.

Conclusions:
