Mirjam

Examined the plates of eYFP and GFP grown on Lb agar + cm plates. This reveals that there are cells growing and the negative control did not show any colonies. Six colonies per type are inoculated in LB medium with cm to perform a mini prep later on.
Examined the plates of the ligation product BBa_k823823+LacI with eYFP and GFP. These plates did not show any colonies, although the negative control did, which is very strange.
The plated B.subtilis strain did grow. So three single colonies are inoculated to perform a transformation reaction.
Made a restriction digestion for RFP and eYFP (EcoRI and PstI).

Chaline & Mirjam

Made a restriction digestion for Pdes (BamHI) and BBa_k823823 + LacI (EcoRI and PstI).
Did a mini prep to obtain more BBa_k823823 + LacI. Made a restriction digestion of these samples to verify the plasmid is correct. Did a nanodrop to measure the concentration of the samples.
Run a 0.8% agarose gel on the samples of the restriction of the backbone to do gel purification.
