The plates prepared yesterday show colonies. Unfortunately the colonies are red which means the ligation didn't work.

The strains inoculated by Inne grew. -80°C stock of AKP4 (Δdes::kn::cm) and OIB055 (ΔcheY::cm) was made and stored in the box labeled iGEM 2013.

BBa_K823023 + lacI, BBa_E0840 and BBa_E0240 are digested with EcoRI and PstI. The samples are purified using the PCR purification kit. To the tube containing the purified vector 1µl of SpeI and XbaI is added and the tube is incubated 1h at 37°C. Afterwards the enzymes (SpeI and XbaI) are heat inactivated. BBa_K823023 + lacI is ligated to BBa_E0840 and BBa_E0240 (3:1 insert:vector ratio). The ligation products are transformed to E. Coli DH5α and the competent cells are plated on LB + Amp.

2x SG plates are poured and 2µl of the Bac. Sub. liquid culture grown overnight is spotted on agar. The plates are dried and then incubated at 30°C as long as Bac. Sub. biofilm will form.
