Check of the restriction done yesterday. This revealed that 5/7 colonies did contain the transformant. The cells of the fourth plate started to grow, so a mini prep analysis is performed. A restriction analysis is done with EcoRV. A second confirmation of the constructs is done using PCR. Gel electrophorese analysis revealed that indeed the colonies contain the promoter, although one of them only in small amount. So it is chosen to remove that one from the stock. Miniprep is done to obtain more biobrick BBa_K823023. YFP, RFP and GFP are searched in the biobrick system and found to be in the spring 2013 plates. A transformation to E. coli is done for these biobricks. Along with a new transformation of one of the transformants (to do some IPTG tests with).

The E. coli cells with the BBa_k818000 that were to grow overnight didn't grow.
The tubes that were supposed to be turbid were still clear, however the negative control was also clear so that one did succeed.
Made -80 C stock of the Munich backbone BBa_K823023, in tray iGEM 2012 A, position 26.
Inoculated the BBa_818000, made 5 tubes. Inoculation takes place O/N at 37 C.

The silk synthetic genes design is continued: all the different constructs which are necessary in order to get the highest chance of success are produced.
