Competent cells for clons 2 and 5.

July 8

  • Minipreps for 1, 3 and 4 were made.
  • Plant sheets of coffee into different plates: Each sheet was cut in the middle and they were incubated at 25°C and 37°C LB+Kan.
Task:
To finish the minipreps from the addition of RNAsa.
Check the E. Coli growth in coffee.

July 11

  • Minipreps have been finished. They've been planted in gel: Low concentration (25 ng/uL).
  • Transformation protocol in chemical cells.
Task:
Prepare 250 mL of SOC medium
Print the Transformation protocol for chemical cells.

July 12

  • Strains 1 and 4 have been conserved.
  • LB liquid culture was prepared again for brick 3.
  • E. Coli growth results.
Task:

Competent cells for clons 2 and 5.
Preserve brick 3.
Confirm bricks 1, 3 and 4 (Digestion)
Resuspend all Biobricks.
Check the E. Coli growth in coffee.

July 14

  • E. Coli didn't grow up on the sheets.
  • Chemical competent cells were made (DH5α).
  • Brick 3 was left to grow in liquid medium.
  • Bricks 2, 5, 6,7, 8, 9 and 10 were transformed and plated.
Task:
Print the Transformation protocol for chemical cells.
Preserve brick 3.
Confirm all biobricks (Digestion)
Sting the transformed bricks.
Add antibiotic to the mediums made today.

July 15

  • Brick 3 was preserved in Revco.
  • Bricks 2, 5 and 8 were stinged.
  • 25 LB+Kan boxes x 25 mL.
  • No colonies in brick 6.
  • Bricks 7, 9 and 10 were contaminated.
