Started miniprep on KILD. Colonies were all "secretly" red. Re-picked.

Ran gel on AmilCP. Lanes were completely empty. "JWA" below.

Restarted AmilCP. Set up PCRs: ca998/jw000R on jtk2801 jw000F/g00101 on jtk3346

Regular Zymo on AmilCP PCR2

Add 180 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to a 33uL or 50uL reaction.
Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys)
spin through, discard waste.
Add 200 uL of Zymo Wash Buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol)
spin through, discard waste.
Add 200 uL of Zymo Wash Buffer
spin through, discard waste.
spin for 90 seconds, full speed to dry.
elute with water into a fresh Eppendorf tube, use the same volume of water as the volume of the original reaction

Picked 4 large colonies from KILD plate and inserted into media

For each construct you will pick and later miniprep 2 colonies
Add 4mL of LB media with the appropriate antibiotics to a clean test tube
Pick a well-isolated, round, and "normal" looking colony with a toothpick
Drop it in the test tube
Incubate at 37 overnight

OpenWetWare crashed shortly after I started the Zymo; without physical copies of the protocols (I knew I should have printed them out, urgh), no further progress was possible.

Add 100 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to the reaction.
Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys)
Add 500uL of Ethanol and pipette up and down to mix
spin through (15s), discard waste.
Add 200 uL of Zymo Wash Buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol)
spin through (15s), discard waste.
Add 200 uL of Zymo Wash Buffer
spin through, discard waste.

Ligation on KILD and plasmid 1834

 6.5uL ddH2O
 1uL T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (small red or black-striped tubes)
 1uL Plasmid 1834 digest
 1uL KILD digest
 0.5uL T4 DNA Ligase

Transformed KILD into chassis and plated on Spec

Thaw a 200 uL aliquot of cells on ice
  2. Add 50 uL of water to the cells (if greater volume is desired)
  3. Add 30 uL of KCM to the cells 
  4. Put your ligation mixture on ice, let cool a minute or two (for Miniprep product, dilute by 10, then use 1uL of dilution)
  5. Add 70 uL of the cell cocktail to the ligation, stir to mix
  6. Let sit on ice for 10 min
  7. Heat shock for 90 seconds at 42 (longer incubation may work better)
  8. Put back on ice for 1 min
  9. Add 100uL of 2YT, let shake in the 37 degree incubator for 1 hour
 10. Plate 70+ uL on selective antibiotics, let incubate at 37 degrees overnight
