Team Cinnamaldehyde & Vanillin
Research Designs and Methods
The goal for cloning is to place each gene in the cinnamaldehyde pathways under a constitutive pTET and arabinose promoter pBAD for future characterization of each part. Our final construct should consist of a single pSB1C3 plasmid with all the genes inserted along with its ribosomal binding site and terminator:
Primers for the PAL/TAL, Ligase, and reductase genes are designed to yield PCR products containing all biobrick cut sites in the correct order: Eco R1, Xba 1, Spe1, and PstI. These PCR products could then be digested for ligation into available plasmids containing promoters (with or without rbs) and terminators.

Transformation of 4-coumarate-CoA Ligase (4CL) and caffeic acid-O-methyl transferase (COMT)
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: Transform biobricks 4CL ( 2013 Distribution Kit, Plate 2, Well 17P) and COMT (2013 Distribution Kit, Plate 5, Well 19D) for miniprep and later amplification through PCR
Results: Transformation done according transformation procedures. Competent cells were plated on LB+ Amp plates and grown overnight at 37C. Only 4-CL grew overnight. No colonies were observed for COMT. Inoculated a colony of 4CL for miniprep
Rhodobacter sphaeroides Inoculation
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: A colony of Rhodobacter sphaeroides was inoculated in 5mL LB culture for DNA extraction

Miniprep 4CL
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: Miniprep 5mL innoculation of 4CL with Qiagen Miniprep Kit
July 4th
PCR of 4-CL
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: PCR to amplify 4-CL from biobrick with biobrick VF2 and VR primers to confirm the size of 4-CL
Results: Multiple bands were seen due to possible mispriming of VF2 and and VR.
July 4th
PCR of 4-CL
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: PCR to amplify 4-CL from biobrick with biobrick VF2 and VR primers to confirm the size of 4-CL
Results: Multiple bands were seen due to possible mispriming of VF2 and and VR.
Retransformation COMT
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: PCR to amplify 4-CL from biobrick with biobrick VF2 and VR primers to confirm the size of 4-CL
Results: Multiple bands were seen due to possible mispriming of VF2 and and VR.
July 4th
PCR of 4-CL
Experimenter: Joe
Aim: PCR to amplify 4-CL from biobrick with biobrick VF2 and VR primers to confirm the size of 4-CL
Results: Multiple bands were seen due to possible mispriming of VF2 and and VR.
August 19th
Experimenter: Anna Müller Aim: Check if Fisal’s ligations were successful: TAL in PSBIC3 and TAL with arabinose promoter with colony PCR Results: 2 colonies were picked for each. No bands were seen on the gel. Ligations were unsuccessful.
