--CS-- Today I checked the sequencing results from all of last week's sequencing. The samples that I submitted for nirS (3-5) and norC (3-2 and 3-4) all turned out great! The results showed that the promoters were inserted into the plasmids upstream of the gene sequences, just as we wanted them. I also checked the norB mutagenesis results. It appears that they did not work properly, so we'll have to try those all over again. The PCR hasn't been working properly, so I think I should try starting over from there instead of transforming and everything all over again. Julie and I also talked and decided that Julie would take over with constructing the ginormous plasmid containing all four of the denitrification genes since she is pretty much done with her antibiotics stuff now.

--CS-- The nosZ plates that I grew up overnight didn't have any colonies, so I will have to start the mutagenesis reaction all over since it hasn't worked for the past few times. Today I did a new colony PCR reaction for the norB mutagenesis reactions since the past few times haven't really worked.
