Restriction Digest Chlor backbone psb1C3

 * Protocol: biobrick (digesting)
 * Add: 5uL of backbone
 * Enzymes: EcoRI and SpeI (1uL each to each tube)

Transformation

 * Transform ligation mixes from Aug 13 2010
 * Tubes (ligation mixes): 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,AA,AB,TA,TB,CA
 * Protocol: Common protocols - SOP
 * Changes: Add 10uL ligation mixes instead of 1uL

Note: 14,15, AA,AB,TA,TB,CA were transformed with 2uL of ligation mix
 * Alina ligated His (7) and No-his (23). Will also transform: also add 2uL of his + no-his ligation mixes


 * Transformants put in 37C incubator at 1450, taken out at 1617

Control Experiment

 * RD Chlor (psb1C3) and Amp (psb1A3) @ EcoRI, XbaI, PstI cut sites
 * Protocol: RD Protocol (biobrick)
 * Add DNA: 5uL of backbone
 * Enzymes: EcoRI, XbaI, PstI (1 uL each to each tube)

QS Track

 * Like the dspB track, a bacterial mat grew when transformants were spread on chloramphenicol plates.
 * A bacterial mat also grew when transformants were spread on LB + 20 μL chloramphenicol (1000X).
 * This suggests a possible problem with the chloramphenicol aliquots (1000X) used.
 * Marianne remade the chloramphenicol aliquots using 3 different sources of chloramphenicol.
 * Phillip made chloramphenicol plates (20) using Marianne's C3 aliquots (chlor source: last year's parafilm sealed bottle)
 * From yesterday's leftover ligation mixtures, 5 μL was transformed again by Vicki (following UBC iGEM procedures).
 * Also started an overnight culture of pcN33. Host is Staph aureus RN4220. Used LB broth (no erm in lab).
 * Made an antibiotic test of possible problematic chloramphenicol aliquots mentioned earlier. 10 μL of chloramphenicol aliquot was added to 10 mL LB. A stab of stock DH5(alpha)was inoculated in this medium. Expect no growth.

Biofilm Growth Protocol Day 1 (100823M+E)

 * Performed Day 1 of the Biolfilm Protocol
 * O/N cultures of Control, RN4220 and 8325-4 in 5mL of TSB
 * Into incubator @ 1425
