July
Week 27
- Hello World project complete and successful. From a cytoplasmic extraction, we have observed GFP in the periplasm and RFP in the cytoplasm.
- Conducted the toxicity experiment and completed data analysis: average ammonia concentrations in wastewater are not toxic to E. coli.
Week 28
- Designed, ordered and received primers to extract genes from Nitrosomonas and Pseudomonas
- Began work on cloning genes out of Nitrosomonas europaea and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All isolations successful so far except for Nir.
Week 29
Week 30
- Ordered new primers to extract Nir gene in two pieces.
- Despite successful PCR and transformation of AMO, HAO and cytochromes, we only have viable colonies for the cytochromes. Expect that this is due to the fact that we are expressing periplasmic and membrane proteins, which is causing excessive stress on the cells.
- Began work on pBAD synthetic promoter library so that we will be able to induce a low level of expression of our periplasmic genes.
Week 31
- Saturday BBQ with KU
August
Week 32
- The week no PCR worked -- ran 96 PCRs with varying conditions to debug what is not working
- Began work on kinetic models of the aerobic and anaerobic pathways
- Began putting together our presentation
Week 33
- Began having daily meetings
- Transformed arabinose inducible promoter for use with pBAD synthetic promoter library
- One Nir fragment has been amplified with USER primers (changed DMSO, Mg, temperature, etc), one to go
- Experiment to characterize production of N2O NO2<sup-</sup> under anaerobic conditions will be repeated this week
Week 34
- Decided on final human practices event
- Ran first biolector experiment to characterize pBAD synthetic promoter library
Week 35
- Attended Scandinavian meetup in Odense hosted by SDU team
- Biobricks in progress
- Biolector for SPL in progress
- sequencing for SPL in progress
- first draft of presentation
- first draft of poster
- measure Nir, AMO, HAO transformants
- modelling of kinetics and design of a reactor: Vanessa
- Title and abstract finished; Title: Requiem for a Stream
- Reviewed presentation with Julie, who gave us very good advice on pitching our project
- measure AMO, HAO transformants complete
September
Week 36
- Have biobricks for AMO and cytochromes (are going to sequence these), the others are coming.
