Week 0
2 June2011 (Tue)
1. Frankie- transformed the bacteria with RFP and prepared the T7 and HR gene plasmid for PCR.
Week 1 Monday 6 June – Sunday 12 June
8 June2011 (Wed)
1. Test the effect of different concentration of NaCl to the survival of bacterial DH5a& BL21
9 June2011 (Thu)
1. Repeat Wed work
2. IPTG inducer
3. PCR amplification - T7 and HR(rhodopsin)
4. Gel clean to get T7 and HR gene from gel
10 June2011 (Fri)
1. Restriction cut of T7, HR and iGEM vector, ligate them together
2. Received all medium to grow magnetobacteria
Week 2 Monday 13 June – Sunday 19 June
13 June 2011 (Mon)
1. Nanodrop test DNA concentration
2. Transformation to competent cells, spread on plate A & plate K
14 June 2011 (Tue)
1. no colonies were found on spread plate. possible reasons:
Ø antibiotic C resistance spread on plate K
Ø failed restriction cut,
Ø spreading tools too hot which kill the bacteria…
2. Attempt to mix culturing medium for halobacterium salinarum DSM 3754, haloterrigena turkmenica DSM 5511, Natronomonas pharaohs DSM 2160, but couldn't find casamino acids which are essential for all the medium required
3. Repeat work of last week: restriction cut, ligation
15 June 2011 (Wed)
1. transformation of E.coli competent cells.
Week 3 Monday 20 June – Sunday 26 June
20 June (Mon)
1. Restriction cut
Ø pSB1A3 & pSB1K3
Ø HR & T7 promoter
Ø restriction enzyme: EcoR1 &Pst1
Ø incubate at 37oC , 2hours
2. PCR purification of cut product
Ø refer to kit protocol
3. Agarose gel electrophoresis (Run gel) of purified product
Ø at 120V, 45minutes
Ø Failed. Possible reasons: insufficient DNA conc. In gel, stock problem
4. Ligation
Ø HR+pSB1A3
Ø T7+ pSB1A3
Ø HR+ pSB1K3
Ø T7+ pSB1K3
Ø at 16 oC, overnight
5. Inoculation transformation buffer preparation
Ø Steps of preparing 500ml inoculation transformation buffer
1. 55mM MaCl2‧4H2O (5.4425g)
2. 15mM CaCl2‧2H2O (1.1025g)
3. 250mM KCl (9.3189g)
4. 10mM PIPES (10ml) (taken from 4oC fridge)
5. Stored in 4oC fridge
Ø 109 plate with antibiotic A and K is poured
6. Detection of T7 and HR by gel electrophoresis
Ø no band of sample is shown
21 June (Tue) No record
22 June (Wed)
1. Pick colonies
Ø Each plate pick 2 colonies into 2 tubes
2. Inoculation
Ø at 37 oC, 250rpm, 7hours
3. Transfer
Ø DH5α(B tube) : 1ml & 0.5 ml
Ø BL 21 (B tube) : 1ml & 0.5 ml
Ø Rosetta (A tube): 2ml
Ø Overnight, 200rpm
4. Prepare 500ml LB, 500ml LB with 1M NaCl and 500ml LB with 1M KCl solution LB solution
5. transform pET27bHR with K resistance into DH5α, BL21
23 June (Thu)
1. Measure OD of transfer
Ø All tubes’ OD > 0.55
Ø Due to contamination in the step of picking colonies. We shouldn’t put the pipette tips into the tubes since our medium does not contain antibodies
2. Repeated the experiment from picking colonies and inoculation
Ø Only DH5α is used
Ø 7 hours inoculation
Ø Inoculation failed.
3. Restarted from culturing E.coli on agar plate
Ø DH5α & BL21
4. Restriction cut and Double Digestion
Ø HR 20ng/ul
Ø T7 20ng/ul
Ø Since there are not enough solution(a 50ul system should have at least 200ng of DNA) to make up a 50ul system, we modify the system to 25ul.

Ø OD greater than 0.55, repeat the experiment
Ø Using BL21, we incubate cells from picking colony from plates
Ø Culture from tubes are transferred to the flask containing LB at 25oC overnight, 130 rpm
2. PCR purification of T71K3 plasmid
Ø Using iGEM protocol
Ø Concentration of primers is 100pmol/ul, hence we have to dilute it to 30pmol/ul
3. Run gel using iGEM protocol and product protocol
Ø After PCR amplification
Result: both show bandings beyond 100bp
iGEM protocol shows banding at 2000kb
Ø After PCR purification
Result: iGEM protocol shows banding at 2000kb
4. Inoculation
5. 1ml DH5α start culture solution is added to3 conical flasks prepared on 4/7.
Ø The absorbance and cell density is measured every 30 minutes.
Ø Cell density at 2h and 2.5 h is failed to be measured.
Ø Procedure of measuring cell density
i. 1ml solution is transferred to microcentrifuge tube, centrifuge for 1min and resuspend
ii. 10ul solution is transfer to both side of the hematocytometer and cover with the cover slit
iii. observe the central square with 10x magnification under microscope and count the number of cell
Ø Dilution is required (10fold, 100fold, 1000fold .. ) for higher absorbance
Ø (1OD unit = 109 cell)
Ø Absorbance of 21 tubes is measured.

Ø Result: yield of product is too low
3. Prepare T plate
4. Bacterial amplification of backbone + biobrick (Continue experiment on 11July)
Ø red colonies observed, planned to do Midi Prep on 13July
5. 1ml DH5α start culture solution is pipetted to each conical flasks
Ø The LB IPTG solution is contaminated, OD and cell count is too high and out of the normal range.
Ø Frankie advised to use 500ml next time
Ø Brian will check if the cell count machine works
Ø Preparation of NaCl, KCl DH5α should include using pipette to draw all medium away to avoid bacteria killed by ice.

4. Spread plates with antibiotics C, T respectively
5. Pick colony from T71T3, HR1T3, 3-way ligation plates from refrigerator and then inoculate overnight
6. We unfortunately make a mistake that because the OD was measured and spinned all of the solution, whereas the start solution should be spinned with accordance with the volume calculated from the measurement of the OD. Therefore, the whole experiment needs to be redone.

All volume to be spinned because the OD of NaCl sets are too small so the total volumes are still inadequate. As a result, a back up set without IPTG by inoculation was prepared and collected on 12-8-2011. It was found that the DH5α plate has been used up for cline picking so later transformation and plate spreading is need. Besides, it was found that there is only little amount of 1000K anti-biotic too.
