Synechocystis medium
Recipe
To grow Synechocystis cultures, BG-11 medium was made according to the recipe found on the PhotoSynLab wiki.
Gibson Assembly
DNA isolation and cleaning
For plasmid isolation, the Promega Wizard Plus SV Minipreps DNA Purification System A1460 Miniprep protocol was used. For PCR product isolation, the QIAquick PCR Purification kit was used.
DNA digestion
DNA digests for both ligation and verification used the protocol in the PhotoSynLab wiki.
PCR
The touchdown PCR procedure detailed on the PhotoSynLab wiki was used to amplify DNA.
Nanodrop
A NanoDrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer was used to determine DNA concentrations.
3A assembly
3A assembly was conducted according to the iGEM 3A assembly protocol.
Ligation
Ligation was performed according to the protocol outlined on the PhotoSynLab wiki.
