- Choose BioBrick constructs for GFP induction demo
- Miniprep cultures: GFP1, GFP2, RFP1, RFP2, Banana (5ml each)
- Plates: Restreak all
- Plate reader cultures: GFP1, GFP2, RFP1, RFP2, Banana
- Will do quick and dirty transformations in DH5a-Turbo, and streak plate for Turbo tomorrow
Constructs for the GFP induction experiment
1. GFP1: pLac-GFP + LacI (BBa_K079020), operator LacO2 (K07019)
2. GFP2: pLac-GFP + LacI (BBa_K079021), strong operator LacO1 (K07018)
3. GFP3: pLac-GFP, constitutive, superfolder GFP (from C. Anderson)
4. GFP4: pTet-GFP, constitutive (BBa_I13522) Construct does not express GFP
Cool demo constructs
5. RFP1: pLac-RFP (BBa_J04450)
6. RFP2: pSynth-RFP (BBa_K093012)
7. Banana: pTet-ATF1 (BBa_J45200) (Note: requires isoamyl alcohol to produce smell)
- All plasmids are Amp resistant
- Strain: NEB10B (New England Biolabs)
> Start miniprep cultures first, then use 5 ul to inoculate plate reader cultures
> Plate reader cultures (2ml each, overnight):
- GFP1
- GFP1 + 0.5 mM IPTG
- GFP1 + 1.0 mM IPTG
- GFP1 + 2.0 mM IPTG
- GFP2
- GFP2 + 0.5 mM IPTG
- GFP2 + 1.0 mM IPTG
- GFP2 + 2.0 ug/ml IPTG
- GFP4
- RFP1
- RFP2
Banana test
- Banana
Banana + isoamyl alcohol (5ul) Need to order isoamyl alcohol
