From 2014.igem.org
Day 6. 6/9/2014 (Monday) ● Plan to do: Get iGEM safety forms filled out. Order primers. Get keys/access to Brauer Hall. Design a timeline for the summer. Complete lab safety forms for WashU. Design primers/plasmid map for positive/negative control. ● Got done: Ordered primers (should arrive by Wednesday at the latest). Got keys/access to Brauer Hall. Completed lab safety forms for WashU. Day 7. 6/10/2014 (Tuesday) ● Plan to do: Finish design of pos/neg control plasmids. Print Brauer lab safety form. Finalize proposal and send to Penn State iGEM contact along with project presentation. Design light experiment. ● Got done: Designed primers for the positive and negative control plasmids. Printed safety form. Sent Penn State iGEM project info. PCR, ran visualization, and extracted pieces.
Day 8. 6/11/2014 (Wednesday) ● Plan to do: Moon Lab Group meeting at 3PM. Work on finishing Gel DNA extraction, Dpn1, Purification, then One-Pot, then finally Transformation and plating (2 LB/cm plates). [Realization! We discovered today that in order for the ccaS/ccaR light system to function correctly, we need the PCC6803 genes ho1 and pcyA which are needed to heme into PCB (a chromophore) via a two step oxidation/reduction process. Ray is working on this aspect and we are planning to help/take over this part of his work. Our plan is to still transform plasmid PBJ and send it off for sequencing to make sure we have our designed plasmid. The next step would be to co-transform the two plasmids, one containing the ho1 and pcyA genes and the plasmid PBJ into E. coli and after sending off for sequencing, test the light promoter system. ] ● Got done: Finished Gel DNA extraction and measured concentration using nanoquant tecan. Did not need to do Dpn1 nor purification. Put in one-pot after 12 noon. Transformed and incubated O/N. PCR for Ray’s Biobrick plasmid for ho1 and pcyA parts.

Also, grow a culture of Ray’s BbaP DNA (AmpR) as well as Cheryl’s pTet 100-T (where we get the TetR from) Plan out seq PCR for PBJ002. ● Got done: Gel extract and one pot for Ray’s plasmid. Re-ran PCR for Rays BbaP (SpeC_AraC_Bba) plasmid. Gel extract on new BbaP part. Did not yield bands- only saw a smear. Received primers for neg and pos controls- mixed appropriate primer concentrations. Cheryl started pTet liquid culture. Started BbaP liquid cultures. Electroporated original Bbap. Plated on 2 specR plates (100 uL) and (the rest). put into incubator. Planned out seq PCR for PBJ002. Day 10. 6/3/2014 (Friday) ● Plan to do: meet at 9:15 in the ICARES to set up video conference with the Penn State. 1.

the reason we couldn’t get it to work before because we used the wrong
