• Overnight culture grown by Justin, 12ml of overnight culture, of E. Coli Dh5alpha J04500-K249002- B0017- I13453-P0040-K331033-K331035, in the pSB1C3 Vector, was inoculated in 4 x 500ml LB flasks, with 500micro liter of Chloramphenicol and grown up to OD600 of 0.0978

August 29th, 2011

• Ran SDS page of August 28th, overexpression, SDS sample preparation protocol was followed
• The SDS page was run at 80Volts for 15 mins and 180Volts for 45mins
• Stained in Coomassie blue for 30 mins and distained over night

Assembly of:

• J04500-Enhanced Lumazine synthase cut out of pSB1AK3 at EcoRI and SpeI ligated to B0015 cut at EcoRI and XbaI in pSB1AK3
• Ptet-rbs in pSB1A2 cut at SpeI and PStI Ligated to XylE - arginine tag cut at XbaI and PstI.

Followed Restriction, Gel Extraction protocols

• • Note: J04500 –Enhanced Lumazine synthase and Xyle – agrinine tag –dt did not Cut out of plasmid. B0015 in pSB1AK3, and Ptet-rbs in pSB1A2 were found around the right sizes

Repeated August 31 assembly

Sept 14th,2011

Show how effective BamHI is in degrading E.coli DH5α Genomic DNA

• 2 overnight cultures were picked in 50 ml flasks with 50micro liters of Ampicillin and were inoculated with BamHI and pLacI from Glycerol stock
• 16ml of pLacI from overnight culture were used to inoculate 250ml of Lb with 250micro liters of Ampicillin to bring it to an OD600 of 0.118
• 11.2 ml of BamHI overnight culture was used to inoculate 250ml of LB to an OD600 of 0.100

September 17th, 2011

Repeat, the August 14th BamHI experiment due to the spectrophotometer being inaccurate

September 19th, 2011

Isolation of genomic DNA from BamHI cells by following the Qiagen Blood and Tissue Kit protocol for isolating genomic DNA of gram-negative bacteria

September 21, 2011

Overnight culture of full construct (lumazine synthase – K331033 – K331035, K331033 and K331035) for FRET experiments

• Selected cells were induced with arabinose.
• All cells showed growth after 15 hours in shaker at 37 degrees Celsius.

September 22, 2011

Continued work from September 21

• Spun down cells and re-suspended in LB media and checked Optical Density of 1 ml of culture and brought them to 1 OD
• Signs of FRET but nothing confirmed
  • Note: This is something we will be working on continuously up until Boston
