Notebook

Wet Team

Week 1 - Familiarising ourselves with the labs

  • Transformation + Overnight of pSBIC3
  • Mini Prep of pSBIC3
  • Restriction Digest of pSB1C3
      • PCR’s:
    • Hfq E. coli- Unsuccessful
    • Hfq Serratia- Unsuccessful
    • OsmY- Unsuccessful
  • Mini Prep of pSBIC3
  • Restriction Digest of pSB1C3

Week 2 - Carrying on with cloning

      PCR’s:
    • Hfq E. coli- Unsuccessful
    • Hfq Serratia – Unsuccessful
    • osmY- Unsuccessful
      3rd PCR set up:
    • Hfq E. coli – Successful
    • Hfq Serratia – Unsuccessful
    • OsmY - Successful
      PCR’s:
    • Hfq Serratia 2 at 49°C - Successful
    • Hfq Serratia 1 at 65°C - Successful
  • Ligation into PSBIC3 and transformed
  • The 3 successful PCR’s were plated at concentrations of 2:1 and 3:1 with vector; no plates grew colonies

Week 3 - Made our first BioBrick

  • Redid all 3 PCR’S – Hfq E. coli and osmY both worked. Hfq Serratia did not.
  • Colony PCR of the successful PCR’s, overnight, mini prep, sent away for sequencing and then stocked.
    • First 2 BioBricks made: OsmY + Hfq E. coli
  • PCR of osmY-hfq E. coli fusion and PCR of osmY-hfq Serratia Fusion - successful
    • Digested and Ligated etc.… sequenced then stocked.
    2 BioBricks made: osmY Hfq E. coli Fusion + osmY Hfq Serratia Fusion

Week 4 - Started to make gene fragments

  • PCR of Hfq Serratia - successful
    • Sequenced and Stocked.
    1 Bio brick made: Hfq Serratia
  • Gene fragments – EC-SRNA and sma-SRNA digested and ligated into pSBIC3
  • Digestion of Rhamnose promoter plasmid

Week 5 – Started to add Ha tags

      Ligations:
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq-E. coli
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq-Serratia
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq-E. coli- Ha Tag
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq-Serratia- Ha Tag
      PCR’s:
    • rbs-osmY- Ha Tag - Successful
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq E. coli- Ha Tag- Successful
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq Serratia-Ha Tag – Successful
  • All PCR’s transformed and overnighted.

Week 6 - Phage outbreak

      Overnights of:
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq- Ha tag
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq E. coli- Ha tag
    • rbs-osmY-Hfq Serratia- Ha tag
  • Mini preps, sequencing and transformations of the above
  • Phage outbreak on Thursday; due to this all transformations were lost, but re-done the next day
  • All sent away for sequencing
  • Ec – SRNA and sma SRNA – both stocked.

Week 7 - Western blots

  • We did our first western blot test with no timed samples.
  • We also completed a timed western blot by adding different concentrations of Rhamnose and taking samples every hour
      • Primers:
    • fliC for Ec-sRNA
    • virF for Ec-sRNA

Week 8 - Final week

  • Performed another Western Blot to get a much cleaner image for the whole cell
  • Overnights with Ec-SRNA fliC in MG1655 and Ec-SRNA virF
  • Plates grew colonies – colony PCR with colonies.
  • Sent away for sequencing

Dry Team
