Matthew Farnitano, TJ Ciesla, Mike Zhu, Charlie Cooper
 
-
Prepare SOB Medium for bacterial transformation
 
-
Protocol from iGEM’s parts website http://parts.igem.org/Help:Protocols/Competent_Cells
 
-
Made 1 L, autoclaved and stored in two 500 mL containers in cold room
 
-
medium still appeared cloudy before autoclave--may just be new recipe
 
-
Prepare CCMB 80 Buffer for making chemically competent E. coli cells
 
-
Protocol from iGEM’s parts website http://parts.igem.org/Help:Protocols/Competent_Cells
 
-
Made 1 L, filtered and stored in two 500 mL containers in cold room
 
-
pH 6.34 (overshot a few times pH adjustment, but no noticeable precipitate formed
 
-
Autoclave two 500 mL culture flasks
 
-
For CCEC protocol
 
-
With water inside to remove detergent residues
 
-
Next steps:
 
-
Prepare CCEC
 
-
 
-
Objective: Attempt to grow some transformed cell cultures with Charlie’s CCEC
 
-
Matthew Faw
 
-
The second (and more properly conducted) attempt to transform the CCEC with RFP construct BBa_J04450 from 6/2 failed.  Today, we are trying to see if we can get any transformed cells to grow in plates. 
 
-
Followed Charlie’s Cloning protocols,with slight modifications
 
-
Added 5 lof 0 (control) and 50pg/lRFP Construct BBa_J04450 to Charlie’s chemically competent E. Coli, and followed procedure
 
-
Plated the transformed DNA on 2 separate plates, put in put in 37C overnight
 
-
Results: No colonies grew (6/5/14)
 
-
Next Steps:
 
-
-Examine plates to see if any cultures grew
 
-
-Attempt the transformation with the cell cultures growns using iGEM’s standard protocols that can be found here: http://parts.igem.org/Help:Protocols/Competent_Cells
 
-
-Lab currently in the process of making these CCEC
 
-
 
-
Objective: Prepare pdCas9 marrafini and pCsy4 Arkin plasmids to be miniprepped
 
-
Matthew Faw, Charlie Cooper
 
-
Prepare pdCas9 and pCsy4 to be miniprepped tomorrow
 
-
Put pdCas9 into a culture tube with 5ml SOC+Chloramphenicol
 
-
Put pCsy4 in a culture tube with 5ml SOC+Amp
 
-
Left both to shake at 37C to grow the plasmid DNA--Charlie will retrieve them
 
-
 
-
Next steps:
 
-
Miniprep plasmid DNA
