cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 18

The Sensor group ran PCR of the K648000+K648001 using taq polymerase. The PCR products will be inserted into the OR vector.

Monday 13 June 2011

cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 19

     The assemblies that were cultured on 6/10/11 (J23113+B0030+C0051, J23113+B0031+C0051, B0032+C0051 were sent to sequencing. The results showed that only the vector grew, meaning that the assemblies will have to be performed.

     The OR site was placed in front of the cI repressor testing construct assembled on Monday, 6/6/11 as well as in front of a terminator and mCherry reporter.

     The sensor group re-assembled two ribosome binding sites + cI repressor with a constitutive promoter as the insert.

Thursday

cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 22

The J23113+B0030+C0051 colony B culture was prepared for sequencing through the Omega Bio-Tek miniprep protocol.

Because many of the assemblies throughout the lab have failed to yield any colonies on the plates, the restriction enzymes were tested. The B0034+C0051 construct was digested with:

EcoRI+SpeI
EcoRI+XbaI
XbaI+PstI
SpeI+PstI
XbaI+SpeI
EcoRI+PstI

These digests were tested using the agarose gel electrophoresis test, but the results were inconclusive.
