| In order to detect the pathogens fast, specifically and inexpensively we are building sensor cells to detect these pathogens. These sensor cells can identify pathogens in very low concentration by responsing to specific extracellular molecules either secreted by or displayed on the pathogens. These molecules trigger a fast fluorescence response by our immobilized sensor cells  which will be measured by our device.

-
* K731520 iLOV did not grow, neither on the plates, nor on in the liquid media. The most probable cause is that the E.&nbsp;coli is missing some vitamins
+
-
* based upon the [http://openwetware.org/wiki/M9_medium/supplemented M9 recipes by the Knight and Endy labs on OpenWetWare], we made a 20&nbsp;ml supplement stock solution that can be added to 1x HM media

The powders for 1&nbsp;L of 1x HM were dissolved in 20&nbsp;ml of a 10&nbsp;%&nbsp;w/v Casamino acid stock solution and sterile-filtered (.22&nbsp;µm PES). To make agar chips, we can add 1&nbsp;ml to the hot agar mixture, together with the three 500&nbsp;µl 100x stocks for the HM.
+
-
 
+
-
We made 250&nbsp;ml of HM+C+Glucose+Supplements plates with 1.5&nbsp;% agar.

We also prepared a 150&nbsp;ml HM+C+Glucose+Supplements culture with K731520 iLOV to hopefully make agar chips on Friday.

The K731520 iLOV strain did not grow on the HM plate, while another strain with the J23101.E0240 construct did. Both have the pSB1C3 backbone. To confirm the plasmids and inserts, Michael set up a colony PCR:

[[User:fgohr|Florian]] mini-prepped the 6 overnight cultures of J23115.E0240 clones. He used 3&nbsp;ml instead of 1.5 and eluted twice with 25&nbsp;µl nuclease-free water. Everything else was according to the protocol of the illustra plasmidPrep Mini-Spin Kit.

In the evening, we plated some strains on the different media to investigate why the K731520 iLOV did not grow on the HM+suppl. plate. (Note: in the morning, Michael re-inoculated the HM+C+suppl. shake flask with cells from the LB-plate and by afternoon the culture ''did'' grow to a high cell density.)

* Elution was performed with 2 * 15&nbsp;µl of nuclease free water.

== 15th ==
+
-
Arne and Michael were able to analyze the sequencing data from the clones of GFP_Reach 1, GFP_Reach 2 and K1319008.  
+
-
 
+
-
GFP_Reach 2 clone number 3 and 5 were fine. With the included Leu to Ile mutation.
+
-
GFP_Reach 1 clone number 4 and 5 were fine and did not contain the Leu to Ile mutation. Clone 6 was fine but contained the Leu to Ile mutation from the Reach 1 quick change mutations.
+
-
 
+
-
Further we will use the GFP_Reach 1 clone 4 and the GFP_Reach 2 clone 4.
+
-
 
+
-
Transformation of GFP_Reach 1 clone 3 and GFP_Reach 2 clones number 3 and 5 were performed together with the TEV-Protease to create two plasmid construct.
+
-
 
+
-
The GFP_Reach 1 and GFP_Reach 2 constructs were also restricted and ligated into the pSB1C3 vector from the pSB3K3 vector.
+
-
 
+
-
== 16th ==
+
-
Vera made master plates for the  transformation from the day before.
+
-
+
-
Also PCRs were made from pSBXA3, I20260 and K131900 for a Gibson Assembly. The PCRs were checked with a gel electrophoresis.

Rene, Arne and Philipp made cultures of K1319013, K1319013 + K1319008, K1319013 + K1319008 + iPTG, K1319014, K1319014 + K1319008, K1319014 + K1319008 + iPTG, B0015 (negatove control) and I20260 (positive control).
+
-
iPTG was added at an OD of ~0,5.
+
-
Inoculation was done via precultures in 500 ml shake flasks (50 ml filling volume). Media was always LB. Cultivation was done at 37 degrees Celsius and 300 rpm.
+
-
Starting OD was aimed to be 0,1. Inoculation occured directly from the precultures.
+
-
Samples will be taken every hour and checked for OD and fluorescence (Spektrometer and Platereader respectively).
+
-
 
+
-
Vera did a pasmid preparation from the cultures of the day before which were K1319013, K1319013 + K1319008, K1319013 + K1319008 + iPTG, K1319014, K1319014 + K1319008, K1319014 + K1319008 + iPTG, B0015 (negatove control) and I20260 (positive control).
+
-
The plasmid will then be cut with EcoRI and PstI and the results will be put on an agarose gel in order to perform a restriction test.
+
-
Also plasmids of K1319013 and K1319014 will be cut with EcoRi and SpeI. K1319008 will be cut with XbaI and PstI. These will then be ligated together and then ligated into a pSB1A3 vector via the 3A assembly (vector cut with EcoRI and PstI).
+
-
These constructs will be transformed into BL21 (and NEB as a backup). The created construts will be known as K1319018 (K1319013.K1319008) and K1319019 (K1319014.K1319008).
+
-
 
+
-
Florian made precultures of the master plates from the day before (K1319008, K1319013, K1319015 and pSBX1A3 with Gal3).
+
-
 
+
-
Arne also inoculated 4 cultures for the further testing of the OD/F device (the F part). The cultures are 2 shake flasks of I20260 and 2 shake flasks of B0015.
+
-
 
+
-
Furthermore Nina did a growth experiment with DH5alpha for the Neanderlab school experiment. It is done at 37 degrees Celsius and 300 rpm in TB Media. It was inoculated for an OD of 1,5. Samples are taken every 30 minutes and tested for OD (Spektrometer).
+
-
 
+
-
Anna also made chips with K1319013 + K1319008, K1319014 + K1319008, K1319013, K1319014, B0015 and K131026.
+
-
These will be inocubated for an hour at 37 degress Celsius. Then they will be induced with iPTG/HSL and fotos will be made every 30 minutes to check for fluorescence (GFP).
+
-
 
+
-
Florian tested our OD/F device with a dilution test. Samples were checked with Spektrometer (OD) our OD/F device (fluorescence) and platereader (fluorescence).
+
-
 
+
-
Anna and Vera made SDS Gels.
+
-
 
+
-
Stefan inoculated a culture of K1319008, B0015 as well as I20260 to check wether the results from our construct are from a wrongly done Gibson Assembly with a still functioning superfolder GFP.

* Michael did a check PCR on several cryo cultures. All samples with G00100_Alternative+K1319004_check_R combinations resulted in a strong band at ~2300&nbsp;bp that we cannot explain. All G00100_Alternative+K1319004_check_R combinations resulted in a strong band at 900&nbsp;bp that we cannot explain either. We concluded that the annealing temperatures were wrong and favored unspecific products. Therefore we decided to do a gradient PCR to find out the optimal annealing temperatures for our new primers.

=== Gradient PCR to test new primers ===

Florian and Michael did gradient PCR with these new primers:

+
-
 
+
-
The results of these three PCRs are:
+
-
# The KAPA2G Fast ReadyMix worked well
+
-
# all three primers work well at >65&nbsp;°C annealing temperature
+
-
# the K1319008 template was contained I746916 instead of the intended K1319004 ORF
+
-
 
+
-
It was concluded that a similar check PCR with 65&nbsp;°C annealing temperature will be done on all plasmids and cryos of K1319008.

First Michael transformed K1319001, K1319002, K1319003 and K1319004 (all in pSB1C3) into NEB10beta cells. He tested the PCR machine for semi-automated heat-shocking by splitting the 50&nbsp;µl cells with the plasmid into 2x 25&nbsp;µl. All 100&nbsp;µl were plated for all construct/machine combinations.
+
-
 
+
-
Vera transformed several constructs into chemically competent BL21(DE3) cells.
+
-
 
+
-
Philipp and Michael did colonyPCR on all plasmids, cryos and colonies that should contain the K1319004 sequence.
+
-

Vera also made check a PCR on galectin-constructs:
