Restriction Enzyme Test II

The sensor group digested the K3 vector with the following restriction digests:

EcoRI
EcoRI XbaI
SpeI PstI
EcoRI PstI
XbaI SpeI

These digests were run on an agarose gel. The bands on the gel showed that the restriction enzymes were working.

Radiation Sensor Construct, Day 1

The sensor group continued to assemble their test construct by placing a constitutive promoter in front of two RBS + cI repressor. The sensor group also attempted to place the OR site in front of the test construct pieces (K648000+K648001) and in front of an RBS and reporter. The sensor group tried to clone Cro into K3 and put an RBS in front of the cI repressor.

Vector using XbaI and PstI: K3+RFP
Ligation OR + B0034+mCherry
OR + K648000+K648001
J23113 + B0031+C0051
K3 + Cro
B0032 + C0051
J23113 + B0030+C0051
Transformation/Plating The above ligations and K3+OR were transformed
into Escherichia coli cells. All cells were plated
on plates with appropriate resistance.

B0034+C0051 and K3 were grown overnight in culture in order to extract more plasmid.
