Jasmine miniprepped the TOP10 cultures and transformed the DNA into LMG149 and plated onto LB AMP plates. Jasmine worked on the donation website.
June 3
Monday Jasmine did a colony check and cultured two positive colonies each for the Erwinia and Xanthomonas in pBAD (LMG149) both without and without glucose. Chantal transformed 100 microliters of ER+SOC and 100 microliters of ICE+SOC to top 10 cells and plated 100 microliters onto LB CM plates. Jon did extensive internet research pertaining to Ice Nucleating Proteins and cell surface detection methods. Jon contacted plant pathologists at UC Berkeley

Christian made 3 transformations; GFP, OMPA, and INP fused with YFP into TOP10 cells. GFP and OMPA were successful on AMP plates while INP fused with YFP needed to be re-plated on CM plates. The plasmid stocks of these genes are in our box in the freezer. Christian and Rebecca also made LB-AMP plates and tested them. LB-amp plates in the fridge were also tested. Cody performed a purification of PSB1C3. Cody performed a ligation of PSB1C3 and Erwinia and PSB1C3 and Xanthomonas as well as a relegation of PSB1C3 for control.

Monday Christian made LB-KAN liquid cultures of E. coli containing KZ144 in a pUC57 plasmid (x2).
Tuesday Christian did a miniprep of the two KZ144 E. coli cultures to isolate pUC57 plasmid containing the endolysin. He then ran a PCR to isolate the gene, but the wrong primers were used. A gel was used to analyze the PCR.
Wednesday Christian and Jasmine started making RM media and other buffers. Christian and Jon did a miniprep of GFP, OMPA, and 4 different colonies of OMPA+GFP. They then did a PCR of these genes and ran a gel of the products. Thursday Christian and Jon did a miniprep of the endolysins for Xanthamonus and Erwinia from their original plasmids. Christian and Jon did a PCR purification of Jasmine’s PCR product for her 2 endolysins.
Friday Jon ran an Invitrogen control PCR to trouble shoot some issues which had arisen. Christian grew liquid cultures LB-AMP of the pBAD TOP10 expression control. He also grew 6 liquid cultures of LB-AMP-CM to make sure the X-pBAD BL21 cells have both AMP and CM resistance.
