October 19th
Ricardo reviewed the inventory and provided us:
- 1 box of large gloves
- 1 bag with falcons 50 mL
- 1 bag with eppendorf of 2 mL
Also:
- solid LB works
- not necessary to do liquid LB (there is)
- we have to transform competent cells with:
- Bristol (the plate isn't so good)
- RENBO (the product was ligated in the ampicillin plasmid) --> to do minipreparation and electrophoresis
- Colonies only without plasmids.
Plates with RFP and GaTech are fine!
We had to:
- prepare new antibiotics
- auto-nail the eppendorf of 2 mL, they were ready.
- prepare the Minimal Media for the experiments.
For the new experiments:
- we used 5 mL of sustrates (liquid LB and MME)
- We did controls with and wothout antibiotics
- We used the following colonies:
- JM109 (just the strain without plasmids)
- with RFP
- Bristol
- GaTech
- Renbo
- We did controls using the two methods:
- Direct, studying the temperature
- passing through the thermal shock, first.
- Thermic shock was:
- @10ºC per 1 hour
- Temperatures we used are:
- 37ºC
- between 15ºC and 20ºC (18ºC)
- We needed 5 days of experimentation.
for each temperature and BioBrick we wanted to get (en each experiment):
- growing curve
- measurement of GFP expression
- measurement of RFP expression, as control
- measurement of heat production (thermometer)
Experiments:
#1: 5 colonies in LB and MM in blank, for references without antibiotics and without nitrate, @37ºC and @18ºC.
#2: 5 colonies in LB and MM with nitrate @37ºC and @18ºC.
#3: 5 colonies in LB and MM with antibiotics @37ºC and @18ºC.
#4: 5 colonies in LB and MM with antibiotics and nitrate @18ºC, first passing through thermal shock and @18ºC without thermal shock, direct growing.
#5: 5 colonies in LB and MM with antibiotics and nitrate @37ºC, first passing through thermal shock and @37ºC without thermal shock, direct growing.
For Thursday, October 20th, 2011:
- Transforms competent cells with:
- Bristol
- Renbo, ligated with ampicillin
For Friday, October 21st, 2011:
- take the plates out from the incubator
- grow a Renbo colony, in liquid LB @37ºC with shaker.
For Saturday, October 22nd, 2011:
- miniprep. of Renbo
- electrophoresis of Renbo.
