On this page we summarize the (successful) results and achievements of our teamwork.

Week 1: 2nd - 8th may

Bisphenol A:

  • cloning of <partinfo>K123000</partinfo> and <partinfo>K123001</partinfo> behind weak (<partinfo>J23103</partinfo>) and medium strong (<partinfo>J23110</partinfo>) constitutive promoter (each part and both parts polycistronic)
  • cloning of fusionprotein between <partinfo>K123000</partinfo> and <partinfo>K123001</partinfo>, also assembly behind weak and medium strong constitutive promoter
  • testing and establishing of HPLC method for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A BPA] detection
  • expression of the successfully assembled BPA degrading BioBricks in E. coli TOP10

S-layer:

  • successful PCR on the S-layer genes of [http://expasy.org/sprot/hamap/CORGL.html Brevibacterium flavum] and Corynebacterium crenatum
  • successful cloning of the S-layer gene of B. flavum without TAT-sequence

Organizational:

  • meeting with [http://www.bielefeld-marketing.de/de/index.html Bielefeld Marketing] to discuss our participation at the science festival [http://www.geniale-bielefeld.de/ GENIALE] in Bielefeld

Week 2: 9th - 15th may

Figure 1: HPLC results of the first experiment on BPA degradation in E. coli TOP10. Cultivations were carried out in LB medium with 100 mg L-1 BPA. Samples were taken at the beginning of the cultivation and after one day. The HPLC results are shown above (area of the BPA peak). BisdA + BisdB is the polycistronic gene and BisdABisdB is the fusion protein.

Bisphenol A:

  • assembly of <partinfo>K157011</partinfo> behind existing BPA degrading parts (for purification and testing of <partinfo>K123000</partinfo> and <partinfo>K123001</partinfo> in a cell free system)
  • HPLC results: fusionprotein between <partinfo>K123000</partinfo> and <partinfo>K123001</partinfo> can degrade BPA and seems to work better than the polycistronic version (compare fig. 1)

S-layer:

  • expression of the S-layer gene without TAT-sequence of B. flavum in E. coli KRX and BL21-Gold(DE3) after sequencing gave correct results
  • successful PCR on the S-layer gene of [http://ijs.sgmjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/54/3/779 Corynebacterium halotolerans]

Organizational:

  • moving to our own room in the [http://www.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/ CeBiTec]

Week 3: 16th - 22nd may

Bisphenol A:


S-layer:

  • successful cloning of the complete S-layer genes of B. flavum and C. halotolerans
