IDI1, HMG2, erg20-2

  • Validated competent cells by transforming with pet100 vector containing Cineole synthase. They are in working order.
  • Amplified 5 plasmids received from Greece (IDI1, HMG2, p300, Cin, Sab). NOTE: did not properly centrifuge during DNA precipitation stage. Will validate plasmids in yeast transformations to make sure plasmids are in working order.
  • Awaiting materials from France (erg20-2).

1,8-Cineole

  • Ran a gel to test restriction digest on variant SDM-PCR product. Looks like the SDM was successful!

beta-pinene & (-)-limonene

  • SDM beta-pinene again by using both Pfu and Taq.
  • Gel verification shows a smear.
  • Troubleshooting: run a gel on the miniprep of the beta-pinene plasmid received from Rafael to make sure that the DNA hasn't been contaminated/digested.
