Biology Details:

Design of tri-color plasmid pool

  • 9 promoter-rbs pairs of varying strength from Kosuri et al paper (2013):

9 apFAB71 - salis-4-10 TTGACATCGCATCTTTTTGTACCTATAATAGATTCATGATGAAATCTCTTTTATCAAATATAAGCAGGAT

Selection of colored reporter proteins

  • Co-transformation testing of multiple color combinations of proteins from DNA2.0
  • Transformations on Kanamycin and IPTG





Final tri-color plasmid designs, assembled by DNA2.0:

Chromogenic plasmid pool

  • Blitzen (blue)
  • Kringle (yellow)
  • Paprika (red)

Fluorescent plasmid pool

  • CindyLouCFP (400/495)
  • KringleYFP (520/542)
  • PaprikaRFP (554/590)

Optimization of plasmid pools with visitor-accessible museum wetlab set up. Transformation condition:

  • 6cm plates
  • 400 ug/ml Amp
  • 0.3 ul unamplified plasmid pool in 100ul CaCl2
  • 20 ul competent bacteria
  • Current visitor wetlab transformation protocol: 30 sec on ice, 40 sec heat shot at 42 degrees C
  • Chromogenic pool maturation time ~ 5 days 37 degrees C
  • Fluoroescent pool maturation time ~ 3 days 37 degrees C
  • Low copy fluorescent plasmid pool gave more reliable results with most color variety


Safety:

We did not use any dangerous organisms or reagents. Transformation of bacteria was done in the musuem’s existing wetlab setup.
