Lab work
A - The chassis coli Odor free
PCR verification
by Romain
Results of the striates on dishes from yesterday:
For the strain MG1655Z1:
- Nothing has grown on the kan dish, but the colony grew on LB dish. That was what we expected, the kan cassette was correctly delete.
For the strain MG1655:
- Few colonies have grown on the kan dish, and all the colonies have grown on LB dish. It's a little failure.
So now, we proceed to the PCR to verify the length of the sequences.
Strains used: E. coli MG1655Z1 and E. coli MG1655, and oligonucleotides used: iPS75 bis and iPS76 bis.
Protocol
Add into a PCR tube the following:
| Component | For a total volume of 50μl |
|---|---|
| H2O | 28.25μl |
| Green GoTaq buffer 5X | 10μl |
| dNTPs | 1μl |
| iPS75 bis | 2μl |
| iPS76 bis | 2μl |
| DMSO | 1.5μl |
| MgCl2 | 4μl |
| Bacterial culture | 2μl |
| Green GoTaq enzyme | 0.25μl |
We follow these quantities for 11 tubes: 5 tubes for the strain MG1655, 5 tubes for the strain MG1655Z1 and 1 tube with bacteria which had grown on the kan dish. Tube was placed in PCR machine with the following parameters.
| Cycle step | Temperature | Time | Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Initial denaturation |
95°C |
10 min |
1 |
| Denaturation | 95°C | 30 s | 30 |
| Annealing | 53°C | 30 s | 30 |
| Extension | 72°C | 2 min | 30 |
| Final extension | 72°C | 5 min | 1 |
| Final extension | 12°C | hold | 1 |
The different bacterial cultures in each tubes:
- Tube 1 to 5: MG1655
- Tube 6 to 10: MG1655Z1
- Tube 11: MG1655 which had grown on the kan dish.
Results of the PCR:
C - Salicylate Inducible Suppressing System
Liquid Culture
by Fabio
2 liquid cultures of BBa_K1372000 with 20ml of LB and 20µl of amp (at 3pm - 150 rpm - 37 °C), from the stock made the 4st August.
D - Lemon scent
Electrophoresis
by Sean & Pierre The strains used were made the 4th August
- 5 µl of BBa_K762100 non diluted
- 5 µl of BBa_K762100 diluted 10-1
- 5 µl of BBa_K517003
Human Pratices
by Pierre
Ethics
I wrote the begining of a global view of the evolution of the definitions of life from Aristotle to modern times.
