16th July - <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> 5X M9 salts</a>, <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> minimal agar</a>,  <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> 1.4% molten agar solution</a> and <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> 0.1M CaCl2/15% glycerol</a> were prepared for the generation of competent cells. Minimal agar plates were poured and <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> streaked</a> with W3110 Escherichia coli cells and left overnight to incubate at 37C.

</p>
 
-
<p class="body_text">
 
-
17th July - Very little colony growth was observed from W3110 ''E.coli'' streaked plates. Plates were therefore left to incubate for a further 17 hours.

<p class="body_text">
 
-
18th July - Sufficient colony growth allowed for the selection of a single colony from each plate. This was then inoculated in 5ul  <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> LB media</a> + 100ul 1M MgSO4 and left to incu-shake overnight at 37C.

26th July - Once again our cells were unsuccessful in taking up the YB3110 plasmid. We concluded that our batch of competent cells were not competent and so these will not be used in any further experiments. A new batch of <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> competent cells</a> are to be generated.

This was <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> streaked</a> onto 3 plates (2x LB Amp and 1x No drug), additionally four Falcons with 2ul LB were inoculated with the glycerol stock (2x LB No drug, 2X LB Amp). These were left to incubate overnight.

30th July - pSecTag2A Amp and No drug cultures were centrifuged (5 minutes at 4000rpm) and the pellet frozen to be used later in a <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> miniprep</a>. pSecTag2A plates displayed good colony growth. Colonies were picked from non-competent W3110 streaked plates and inoculated in LB ->incu-shake 37C o/n.

This indicated that the cells are more competent than the last batch, although growth on the negative control was a cause for concern. Therefore the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> transformation protocol</a> from yesterday was repeated to see whether the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> ampicilin</a> was working -> plates left for incubation 37C o/n.

This indicates that there is still an issue with the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> ampicillin</a>, possibly a problem with the stock powder used. A final test with both old and new <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> ampicillin</a> was carried out and compared without plasmid insertion.

The results concerning <a href="http://parts.igem.org/Part:pSB1C3?title=Part:pSB1C3" target="_blank"> pSB1C3</a> indicated that the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> chloramphenicol</a> did not work, and the glycerol stock is dead.

Amp & Cmp were remade and pSB1C3 was located in the 2012 distribution kit. <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> Amp & Cmp</a> were both tested by producing 1x positive and 1x negative plate for each antibiotic <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Protocols" target="_blank"> streaked</a> with W3110 cells ->left to incubate o/n at 37C.

These digests were loaded into a gel in the following order: single digest, double digest, uncut.

The result of this gel was negative, there were no bands for the loaded DNAs (the 1 kb DNA ladder was on the gel), the procedures of achieving recombinant zeocin and cmv plasmid were unsuccessful.

These samples of minipreps and from glycerol stocks were run on a gel in order to check if the circularised potentially recombinant plasmid is present. Again, there were no bands for any of these samples, hence we tend to believe the ligations were not successful OR/AND the transformation was faulty.
