Notebook

Week 1: May 16-20

Monday

Today we laid out the weekly schedule for assembly, as follows

Day 1: grow culture
Day 2: Assemble (all day)
Day 3: grow colonies and check with PCR
Day 4: miniprep
Day 5: sequence results
Day 6: use miniprep

Note: Every step is done each day for different assemblies

We also began developing preliminary ideas for the summer project:

Proposed Idea Preliminary Thoughts
Bacterial photosynthesis Up-regulate bacterial chlorophyll, BCHM=gene to increase chlorophyll production
Microbial fuel cells Bacteria add electrons to Fe+3 and electrodes to create current, Use sacrificial anode (geobacter)
Serotonin sensor  ????
Bacterial arithmetic Use sRNAs to regulate translation to mirror arithmetic operations based on expression rates

We spent the rest of the day researching these ideas to determine their plausibility.
