    31/07
    0,8% gels to confirm:
    - riboswitches transfer in PSB1C3: R0, R1 OK

    08/08
    Still trying to clone: R2, R3, R4 and R5 in PSB1C3
    09/08
    No clone for R3 and R5.
    Minipreps and 0,8% gel for others:
    - correct inserts for R2 (450 bp) and R4 (600bp) after E/P restriction.
  • Week 10 (12-18 August)
    12/06
    Cloning:
    - Transfer of R3, R5 in PSB1C3
    13/08
    No clone obtained. May be a problem with competent cells. New transformation of ligation of 12th august.
    14/08
    New try to transfer R3, R5 in pSB1C3.
    15/08
    Cloning:
    - R3 in pSB1C3


  • Week 11 (19-25 August)
    19/08
    0,8% gel:
    - correct inserts for R2 and R4 after E/P restriction
    20/08
    Gel extraction of riboswitches: R0, R1, R2, R4
    Assembly of promoter pLac thanks to two homolog oligonucleotides.

    Cloning to change promoter in the middle of riboswitches R0, R1, R2, R4. pLac replaces the original one.
    Restriction of riboswitches and pLac with BamH1/Cla1 and gel extraction before ligation.
    21/08
    2% gel to confirm promoter changes:
    - E/P restriction: correct size for R1pLac but others failed
    - confirmation by EcoR1, BamH1 and EcoR1/BamH1 restriction: failed.
    No clone with a correct change of promoter obtained.

    New range of cloning with pLac into riboswitches.
    22/08
    Minipreps and 0.8% gel: clonings failed.

  • Week 12 (26-31 August)
    26/08
    After some research, riboswitches on the synthesis have EcoR1/Xba1 on one side and Spe1 on the other side. Restriction with EcoR1/Spe1 will be more efficient than Xba1/Spe1 because these second couple of sites are compatible. Decision to start over with this new information.
    New start: gel extraction of R0, R1, R2 and R4 from the commercial plasmid digested by EcoR1/Spe1. Then cloning into Psb1C3 (R3 and R5 have been leave out because no good results were ever obtained with them and time begin to lack. We have to focus on what is possible).

September 2013

  • Week 13 (1-8 September)

  • Week 15 (16-22 September)
  • 16/09
    Minipreps and 0,8%gel after EcoRI/PstI digestion: - Final construct: correct size -> Sequencing
    - Recombinase: correct insert -> Sequencing
    17/09
    We realized that our RFP doesn't have a terminator at the end, so we have to make the cloning in the opposite order.
    Clonings: Final construct: strong promoter strong rbs tet R (C) + R1plac RFP (A)
    18/09
    Sequencing results: - Final construct: Failed
    - Recombinase: OK
