- Violacein: successful growth; re-streak
- Golden gate/ transformation: transform DH5α-Turbo with gg assemblies from 1/09/13
- Golden gate trial 2: new PCR primers
Violacein
- Plate 1: Kan plasmid
- Plate 2: Amp plasmid (violacein exp.)
Golden gate trial 1
- Add total 10.0 μL run to 50 μL DH5α-Turbo; incubate on ice 10 min.; plate on amp agar
- Colonies: 7 on assembly plate, 9 on vector-only control. Pick 4 and make 2 mL liquid cultures.
Golden gate trial 2
- Re-designed primers to include "handle" preceding the BsmBI sites and a spacer between BsmBI and a 4 bp overlap region
