Weekly Diary

Before week 1

We read a lot of literature on synthetic biology and take several times of brainstorms but do not have any experiments for our summer holiday will not begin until July 18th. Several ideas have come up to our mind and we finally decide to do something about yogurt, which belongs to the track of food & energy.

Week 1 and week 2 (July 18th- July31th)

Kits, laboratory drugs and laboratory items are prepared during these days. And primers, genes which have been optimized are being synthetized by the company of Life Technologies in Shanghai. Besides, we take part in the iGEM 2011 China Meetup in University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, China.

Week 3 (August 1th- August 7th)

We try to extract the plasmid pMG36e from JM109. It takes us nearly one week to finish the work for the plasmid is a low copy rate one in E.coli.

Week 4 (August 8th- August14th)

PCR to test whether the plasmid is pMG36e. Result: it is the suitable large in 1.0% agarose gel electrophoresis.

Extract the plasmids with nisI gene for L.bulgaricus and the rcfB+lacR gene.

Week 5 (August 15th- August 21th)

PCR to test the plasmid with nisI gene for L.bulgaricus and the rcfB+lacR gene. Result: it is the plasmids we wanted.

Digest the plasmids with EcoRI and PstI and try to get the pars through gel extraction. Result: successfully get the parts.

Prepare competent cell of DH5α

Ligate nisI gene for L.bulgaricus with the rcfB+lacR gene. Result: failure. No colony in the petri dishes

Week 6 (August 22th- August 28th)

Try to ligate nisI gene for L.bulgaricus with the rcfB+lacR gene again. Result: successful.

Pick one colony to cultivate and then extracte the plasmid to test. Result: the liagtion is successful.

Week 7 (August 29th- September 4th)

Extract the plasmids with nisI gene for S.thermophilus and the collagen gene.

PCR to test the plasmids with nisI gene for S.thermophilus and the collagen gene.

Week 8 (September 5th- September 11th)

Ligate nisI gene for S.thermophilus and the collagen gene.

Week 9 (September 12th- September 18th)

Ligate the two recombinant parts with backbone pSB1C3. Result: failure.

Week 10 (September 19th- September 25th)

Week 11 (September 26th- October 2th)

Week 12 (October 3th - October 9th)

Week 13 (October 10th - October 16th)

Competent Cell and Electroporation

The competent cell of Lactobacillus bulgaricus

  • An overnight culture grown at 37°C was inoculated in 2.5% glycocoll SMRS as 2% (37°C) and incubated until the optical density at 600 nm (OD600) was 0.5. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (4,000 ×g for 10 min at 4°C) and washed twice with 1 volume of ice-cold electroporation buffer (1 mM KH2PO4, 0.5 M saccharose , 1 mM MgCl2). Finally, pelleted cell were resuspended in 2ml ice-cold electroporation buffer, divided into aliquots and frozen in an ethanol-dry ice bath. Electrocompetent L.bulgaricus cells were stored at -80°C.

  • Electrocompetent cells were thawed on ice, and an 50μl cell suspension was mixed with 1μg of recombinant plasmid DNA. After incubation for 30min on ice, the cells were transferred to an electroporation cuvette with a 0.2cm gap between the elec- trodes. A single pulse of 1.2kV lasting 2.5ms was delivered. The electroporated cells were immediately resuspended in 950μl SMRSMC and incubated for 2h at 37°C, before they were spread on MRS plates containing 2μg/ml erythromycin. Transformants were picked following 24 to 48h of incubation at 37°C.
