Week 1

Wet Lab

We chose the plasmid of kit plate to transform and amplify. We designed parts by adding promoter (BBa_K206000) and RBS (BBa_B0034) to the upstream region of luciferase gene and adding prefix and suffix and we committed the GENEWIZ company to synthesize this gene.

We gather and summarize the data of algal bloom case in North China.

Week 2

Wet Lab

We transformed the plasmid pSB1C3(BBa_K592009, BBa_E1010, BBa_J04450) in DH5α and proceeded amplification, extracted the plasmid and used two kinds of enzyme (EcoR I, Pst I) to digest and verify.

We designed primers and committed the GENEWIZ company to synthesize these primers (nluc, nluc-psb1c3, cluc, cluc-psb1c3、β-tubulin, β-tubulin-psb1c3, α-tubulin, α-tubulin-psb1c3).

We borrowed expression plasmid pET21a(+) from the lab of Yang Dong to amplify and DNA template (nluc, cluc, mcf-7, hepg-2), and we amplified these fragments (nluc, cluc, α-tubulin, β-tubulin) by PCR.

Dry Lab

We guided FAFU about modeling.

We designed primers about TOPO (α-tubulin-TOPO-F, β-tubulin-TOPO-F, α-pET21a(+), β-pET21a(+), nluc-pET21a(+), cluc-pET21a(+)) and committed the GENEWIZ company to synthesize these primers.

We tested amplification products by PCR, and linked them to produce plasmids PSB1C3 and plasmids pET21a(+). Meanwhile we did topo clone.

We did PCR amplification by using efficient polymerase, did restriction enzyme (EcoR I/Xho I) digestion and ligation about PCR products(α-TOPO, β-TOPO, α-pET21a(+), β-pET21a(+), nluc-pET21a(+), cluc-pET21a(+)).

Dry Lab

We modified basic logistic growth curve combined with specific growing environment of Algae through reviewing literatures about Algae growthing modeling.

Week 4

Wet Lab

We did PCR amplification again by using efficient polymerase of TransgenTM company, digestion and ligation. (α- pET21a(+), β-pET21a(+), nluc-pET21a(+), cluc -pET21a(+))

We did PCR amplification again by using efficient polymerase (primeSTAR) of TAKARA company, digestion, ligation and transformation (α-pET21a(+), β-pET21a(+), nluc-pET21a(+), cluc -pET21a(+)).

We did bacterial colony PCR about transformation products. We inoculated 15 mL centrifuge tubes with the monoclonal colony to produce bacterium solution for plasmid extraction.

We transformed ligation product and plasmid extraction to BL21 to express.

Dry Lab

We built differential equation model about light, CO2, mineral substance, organic substance.

Week 5

Wet Lab

We exchanged plasmid pET30a(+).

We did PCR amplification again, digestion. We recycled gene segments following the agarose gel DNA extraction kit, then ligated.

We inoculated 15 mL centrifuge tubes with the monoclonal colony (YNE, YCE) to produce bacterium solution for plasmid extraction, digested(YNE: Xba I/Spe I; YCE: Xho I/Sac I) and We recycled gene segments following the agarose gel DNA extraction kit, then ligated.

Dry Lab

We apply MATLAB numerical calculation for differential equation model of FAFU, discussed its practical application and deficiency through video session with FAFU team member.

Week 6

Wet Lab

We extracted βplasmid and did bacterial colony PCR.

We designed primer of α, did PCR amplification again, changed cleavage sites, digested (Hind III/Xho I), ligated.

We committed company to do sequencing about PCR products (α-pET30a(+),β-pET30a(+)、nluc-pET30a(+)、cluc-pET30a(+)).

Others digested again (pET30a(+), β-pET30a(+), nluc-pET30a(+), cluc-pET30a(+)). We recycled the plasmid backbone (pET30a(+)) following the agarose gel DNA extraction kit, and gene segments following the DNA fragment purification kit, ligated, transformed, extracted plasmid, did restriction enzyme digestion and PCR to check the extracted plasmid.

Dry Lab

We discussed the application value of one-way analysis of variance for biological experiment.

Week 7

We inoculated 15 mL centrifuge tubes with the transformation product to produce bacterium solution for plasmid extraction, measured concentration through quantitated agarose gel, then did restriction enzyme digestion and PCR to check the extracted plasmid.

We transformed ligation products on 17/8 (α-tubulin, α-hep, β-pET30(+), nluc-pET30a(+), cluc–pET30a(+)) and plasmid pET30a(+) into transB expression strain.

Week 8

We designed primer and committed company to synthesis primer. We extracted plasmid, did PCR amplification (nluc, cluc, α, β), digested (pET30a(+), α, β(Hind III/Xho I); pET30a(+), nluc, cluc(EcoR I/Xho I)), ligated, transformed.

We plan to use MATLAB to do light intensity analysis after sample picture grey processing to match the numerical relationship between taxol concentration and light intensity of glowing.

Week 9

We studied the taxol’s influence in the dynamic assembly process.

Week 11

We did SDS-PAGE to test the expression protein.

We promoted parts: we extract plasmid in kit 2 and did enzyme digestion. We chose BBa-K934001 to assemble parts by enzyme digestion, ligation, transformation and plasmid extraction and separately ligated with the Arab sugar induced promoter(BBa_10500) and the heat sensitive promoter(BBa_K873002).

We re-did fusion PCR, and the α-nluc had the objective band. Then we sequenced gene.

We used the product of the LR reaction β-nluc to do bacterial colony PCR, and it had a high positive rate. So we did plasmid extraction(β-nluc, cluc-β), enzyme digestion and ligation.
