Labjournal
This is the documentation of our lab work. For detailed protocols of certain procedures please refer to Protocols. Attributions are given for each day, however please check our Attributions section for efforts beyond the lab work.
Week 1: May 19 - May 26, 2013
We set up our labspace and started some preparatory work.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
We finally moved in our lab. A bit of dust here and some rubbish to dispose there, but after a few hours of combined strength our lab was ready to go. Wet experiments can begin!
Thursday, May 23, 2013
Investigators: Kevin, Kerstin, Laura
We prepared some chemically competent XL1 blue E. Coli cells for all the transformations we are going to have to do during the project.
Friday, May 24, 2013
Investigators: Kevin, Kerstin, Laura
Today we transformed our freshly prepared competent cells for test purposes. We used the plasmids pUC 18 and pUC19 to calculate the transformation efficiency. 100 pg of DNA were used for each transformation with 50 µl cells.
Additionally, competent cells were plated on ampicillin, kanamycin and chloramphenicol to ensure that the strain is not carrying any corresponding resistances. The plates were incubated at 37 °C over night.
Saturday, May 25, 2013
Investigators: Kevin, Kerstin, Laura
111 colonies were counted for pUC18 transformation, 50 for pUC19 transformation.
Transformation efficiency:
pUC18: ~ 106 µg-1
pUC19: ~5x105 µg-1
The plates with the additional antibiotics were empty, therefore the strain was not carrying any resistences.
Week 2: May 27 - June 1, 2013
The distribution kit arrived and we started with the actual labwork. 19 biobricks had to be transformed into our E. coli to secure the parts. Additionally we developed the cloning strategy for the next weeks.
Monday, May 27, 2013
Investigators: All
Today we developed our cloning strategy.
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Investigators: Tabea, Jan, Laura
The distribution kit arrived!
We resuspended the DNA of 19 BioBricks, measured the DNA concentrations via NanoDrop and did transformed each BioBrick. This is the full list of BioBricks we plan on using in our project:
