**Weighted Colony Count = (# of Colonies)/(mean OD600 of competency prep)

B. halodurans

Construction of RSR Array

  • We constructed a 1x Repeat-Spacer-Repeat array by ligating our "RA" (Spacer-Repeat) sequence to our "RB" (Repeat) sequence
  • Gel results: (do we have sequencing confirmation?)

Isolation of cmr genes

  • Our construct requires the isolation of 6 genes, Cmr1-6, that are all located on a single locus.
  • Gel results

CMR Success

Assembly into pRSF Duet

L. innocua

Construction of RSR Array

  • This construction of the RSR array involved the ligation of two customized BioBricks (link), which can be done simultaneously using this protocol (link).
  • Gel results for 1x

Image

Cas gene

  • The L. innocua CRISPR system utilizes three CRISPR-associated genes (link?): Cas1, Cas2, and Cas9.
  • For our streamlined construct, we needed to isolate only Cas9, which is approximately 4kb in length.
  • We PCR amplified Cas9 with the adjacent trans-encoded CRIPSR RNA region (tracrRNA), which is necessary for the formation of mature CRISPR RNA.
  • Gel results

Image

Assembly into pRSF Duet

  • Cas9+tracrRNA array has been ligated into pRSF Duet

Image

Other

  • Construction of constitutive GFP plasmid by ligation of Bba_E0840 with Bba_(promoter)
  • Success was marked by green colonies
