Some bacteria have been genetically modified to detect certain metals in a water supply. However, it has not been done in yeast. If yeast is genetically engineered to do so, it would be a much safer procedure. The objective for was to create a bio-brick. The creation of the part will enable next year's team to complete the overall goal, which is to create and insert a plasmid into yeast that will cause it to glow red in the presence of a certain metal.

The Experiment

DNA Extraction 1) Pipet 200 microliters of distilled water into two centrifuge tubes 2) Add a drop of detergent to each tube and shake. 3) Label the tubes according to what will go into each. 4) Rub the loop end of the inoculating loop across the surface of the agar with the E.Coli containing the ADH terminator. 5) Place the loop into the corresponding tube and swivel the loop a few times. 6) Repeat 4-5 with the E.Coli containing M-Cherry. 7) Shake the tubes well or place them on a vortex for about 5 seconds. 8) Add a pinch of meat tenderizer to each tube.

-this will break apart the proteins holding the cells together.

9) Vortex the solutions again. 10) Place them in a water bath at 56-60 degrees Celsius
