Wet Lab Experiments

Our two main wet lab projects were the transformation of Bacillus Subtilis and assembly of our plasmids using Gibson Assembly. Transformation of Bacillus Subtilis We first conducted growth curve assays of our two strains (3A37 and 1A436) of Bacillus Subtilis.


Results




Once we have functional circuits we will conduct the following Pytosidderophore Assay adapted from:

Gibson Assembly

We synthesized our two plasmids using Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). We currently have them as gBlocks and are trouble shooting the Gibson Assembly.
