This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, a lab notebook, and a safety page. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.


You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

05/19/11 Agenda:Transformation Test Run


(1) Obtained a vial of 2mL of TOP-10 electro competent E. coli cells 3-16-11 (44-0003/793762)
(2) Added 50 microliters of BIO-RAD transformation solution (Control number 31000008916 recd 1-17-11 GT)
(3) Added 2 microliters of DNA from Registry plate 2  well 5b
(4) Incubate on ice 5 minutes.
(5) Heat shocked 40 degrees C for 50 seconds
(6) Incubated 4 degrees C for 50 seconds
(7) Added 1mL LB 5-17-11 D.G.
(8) Plate 100 microliters and 25 microliters of transformed cells on LB-AMP (5-19-11 "who")


05/24/11 Agenda: Establishment of the K346002 Hg Sensitive Promotor

(1)Electroporation of K346002 into Top 10 cells. 
(2)40 microliters of Top 10 cells (JH 5-23-10)10E9 + 2 microliters K346002 DNA from Registry.
(3)Parameters of electroporation: not recorded.
(4)Added 1 microliter of SOB media (JH 2-11-11)immediately after electroporation.
(5)Incubated tube at 37 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
(6)Plated 200 microliters of transformation mixture on LB Agar AMP 5 micrograms/microliter (4-21-10). Stored mixture at 4 degrees Celsius. 
 Expected: 10 to 50 colonies projected to grow.


05/25/11 Agenda: Examining Results of Establishment of the K346002 Hg Sensitive Promotor

(1) Examined results from yesterday: Lawn of bacteria!
(2) Conclusion: No selection either due to inconclusive AMP or fabulous transformation.
(3) Replated 100 microliters  K346002 on LB AMP Agar (AM 5-19-11)
  Expected: 10 to 50 colonies projected to grow.


05/26/11 Agenda: Examining Results of Establishment of the K346002 Hg Sensitive Promotor Round II

(1) Results: NO GROWTH!
(2) Conclusion: Perhaps no transformation and bad AMP on 4-21-10 plate. However, could still be some transformants present.
(3) Q-tip swabbed up lawn and resuspended in AMP LB broth. Resuspension fluid placed in photospectrometer.
(4) Photospectrometer results for K346002:
Time         A600 nm
 0 hr.            .315
 1 hr.            .148
 2.5 hr.          .133
(5) Results: absorbance is declining meaning cells are dying, thus no transformation has resulted. Will leave in incubator overnight to see if transformants grow out.
