      <p>Thanks to the delivery of new MerR material, we will finally be able to include MerR to our System.<br/>Because former clonings gave no results, we carried out the Standard Assembly but results are not significant.<br/>We are having to many problem with cloning, we have to check every steps (Minipreps concentration, digestion results by PCR , purification of the insert, proportion of vector (X1)/insert(X3) during the ligation...) </p>

  <li>Plasmid Mapping</li><p>Toggle Switch: (4 final plasmids)
+
color:#5c5c5c;
-
  1 plasmid was considered for each toggle switch way (MerR or LacI), so 2 final plasmids.
+
-
  But those 2 plasmids will include the 2 different couples cinI/cinR and luxI/luxR. The most efficient construction will be used.</br><br/>
+
-
  Coloration Generator: (4 plasmids)
+
font:bold 45px/1.1em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-
  Coloration is induced by the activation of the promoter pLux or pCin depending on which couple cinI/cinR or luxI/luxR picked. As previously, the best coloring agent hasn't been decided yet. So, 4 plasmids will be produced: 1 for pCin, 1 for pLux and both followed either by GFP or Lycopène.</br><br/>
+
-
  Tests: (6 plasmids)
+
text-transform:uppercase;
-
  The test of the two ways (MerR and LacI) of our toggle will be achieved by replacing pLac or pMerT by a constitutive promoter. So, 4 plasmids: 2 ways of the toggle switch, 2 different couples (luxI/luxR, cinI/cinR).
+
-
  Efficiency of both promoters will be tested separately by associating them to GFP.
+
-
  </p>
+
-
  <li>Biobrick Listing</li><p>21 Biobricks will be necessary to achieve only the toggle switch and the coloration generator:<br/>
+
letter-spacing:-3px;
-
  - 14 Biobricks<br/>
+
-
  - 7 plasmid backbones<br/>
+
-
  This includes biobricks which will be used for the tests (for example for the promoters) and as intermediate constructions.
+
-
  </p>
+
-
  <li>Manipulation schedule</li><p>Steps were defined for each construction depending on the level of assembly required. For example the assembly of two existing biobricks corresponds to a first level. Whereas the assembly of two newly obtained corresponds to a 2nd our 3rd level.
+
}
-
  Each level should be achieve at the time.</p>
