Transformation of Competents Cells with pSB1A3, for ensure that our creation of competents cells work.

OBJECTIVE: Preparation of culture medium. 1. JM 109 strain used for cloning plasmids and growth. This is a commercial strain that comes in a kit, were planted in a solid LB medium and then treated to make them competent.


OBJECTIVE: Transforming Competent Cells. 1. Proper markings were made. 2. One of the tubes were scored as negative control. 3. Place 2 of plasmids and resuspended in 50. 4. The nomenclature was as follows: p-1  plate 1 1G orientation on the plate 5. The positive control was diluted 1 / 10 before taking him to the plate. 6. Was allowed to stand for 30 minutes on ice. 7. Thermal shock applied to facilitate the entry of the plasmid to the bacteria, it to 2.5 º C for 60 seconds. 8. Incubated for 5 min on ice and for the bacteria to recover from heat shock SOC 200 added to each tube including the negative control, were left incubating at 37 ° C with vigorous stirring (1.5) for 2 hours.

The Transformation works!!! Preparation of 4 falcons tube with trasnformed cells (for growth). (Objetives or Title):

OBJECTIVE: Creating Competent Cells. 1. Prepare the three buffers to be used. B1 100 mL 100 mM MgCl2 B2 100 mL 100 mM CaCl2 100mL () () () = 11.098g (100x10-3) = 0.1006 g 100mL () () () = 9.5211g (100x10-3) = 0.1047 g 2. Prepare a stock solution for the buffer (100mL of 1M solution) C1V1 = c2v2


V1 = 10mL 100mL to accommodate up 3. This solution was filtered using a syringe and special filter, everything worked within the extraction chamber. 4. From the stock solution of B1 were prepared 50 mL of 1M solution. C1V1 = c2v2



V1 = 5mL to 50mL with water accommodate up sterilazed 5. To this solution were used falcon tubes and sterile water. 6. All solutions were kept on ice. 7. Centrifugation of the culture. 4000 rpm for 16 min. 8. The supernatant was removed and discarded in chlorine. 9. Add 1 mL of the pellet and resuspended MgCl2, expect 20 minutes and centrifuged again this time for 10 min. 10. For the B2 solution was prepared 50mL 85mm from its stock solution.

V1 = 4.25 mL to 50 mL volumetric flask with sterile water until

11. Add 20 ml of CaCl 2 and left incubating for 20 min. 12. Centrifugation was carried 13. We added in a 1000 ml eppendorf tube Buffer 3 which have: • 850 L of Buffer???? • 150 uL glycerol molecular • be kept on ice

August 10

Work Session #38 (morning)
Place: INDICASAT Project Design Group: session of selection & analisys of the Gatech and Bristol Biobricks models and funtioning. We started to study the possibility of use the CspA promoter to improve gene expression under cold shock stress.

Work Session #39 (morning)
Minipred of our Transformed Cells.
(Objetives or Title):

OBJECTIVE: Dirty Mini Prep 1. We 50mL Buffer P1 50mL (100μg/mL) (1mg/1000 g) = 5mg 5mg (ul / 5 g) (1000 ug / mg) = 1000 uL = 1mL 2. We falcom centrifuge tubes which contained approximately 500 L of our growing bacteria and Lb. Centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes. The nomenclature for these tubes was RFP (Red Fluorescent Protein). 3. While centrifuged prepare 50mL of P1 and RNAse (5μg/μL) (1mL) both were held in cold, then mix that were labeled and kept in cold.

Note1: there was not enough RNAse (RNAse needed to 1mL of 5μg/μL) 100l use only which means that our P1 will 10μg/mL RNase concentration.

Note2: Falcom tubes containing bacteria that were not centrifuged, first we had to divide 1500 uL to each tube and then these épendor épendor if they are spinning.

4. The supernatant from the previous centrifugation was recovered and divided into tubes épendor. 5. They took these épendor centrifuge to 13000Rpm per minute. 6. Recover the supernatant and place it in épendor new tubes, add 300 L of each épendor P1 (in total 6 épendor). 7. We added 300 L of P2. 8. Tubes kept on ice for 5 minutes. 9. We added 300 L of P3 (the buffer had to be cold). 10. Tubes kept on ice for 5 minutes.

Note3: the above is worked out of the extraction chamber.

11. Centrifuged for 10 minutes to 13000Rpm. 12. Transfer supernatant to new tubes. 13. Add 1000 uL of phenol (working within the extraction chamber) Note 4: The phenol used was more dilute than that recommended protocol. 14. The tubes were shaken by inversion. 15. Centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 5 minutes. 16. We poured tubes and place upside down. 17. Were allowed to dry about 10 to 15 minutes, then re suspended in 30 ul and were maintained at 65.5 ° C.



Work Session #40 (afternoon)
OBJECTIVE: Electrophoresis 1. Preparation of 1% agarose. 2. Moisten the chamber walls. 3. In a 70 mL Erlenmeyer flask add the agar and put a minute in the microwave, then take it off shake it and put it in the microwave 20 seconds. 4. Ethidium bromide placed in the microwave and cooled with tap water to a temperature between 60 ° C and 70 º C. 5. Placed between 2.5 to 5 micolitros Ethidium bromide. We mix before pouring it into the camera. 6. Once the gel solidified cover it with TAE (1X). (A) 7. 35μL were added ultra filtered water plasmids were 65.5 ° C. 8.
