Welcome to our notebook!
Here you will find the documentation of our laboratory work of the last few month in diary form. This notebook comprises the work in three phases:

Biosensor Construction - 15/03/2012
- The colony-PCR for the recA-GFP construct was repeated, now screening a number of 31 colonies. As control, again the amplicon of the original GFP biobrick was used.
Fig. 1 Repetition of colony-PCR for RecA-GFP construct. Clones #6, 18 and 26 were positive (shift in amplicon length of ~200 bp).
3 positive colonies were detected, as they show a shift in band size of ~ 200 bp as expected by the introduction of the recA promoter. Those were clones # 6, 18 and 26.
- O/n LB-amp cultures were inoculated for clones #18 and #26.
- Miniprep of the o/n cultures inoculated the day before for clones #2.3, 3.4 and 4.8 were done.
- concentrations measured using Nanodrop are all in between 70 and 140 ng/µl
- concentrations measured using Nanodrop are all in between 70 and 140 ng/µl
- Test digestions were performed in order to detect, whether the constructs would give the expected band patterns on the gel.
- #2.3 with EcoRI/BglI; as control the original LacZ biobrick was digested EcoRI/BgII as well
- #3.4 and #4.8 were digested NotI in order to see, whether an insert is present
Fig. 2 Test digestions for the constructs RecA-LacZ (#2.3), SulA-GFP (#3.4) and SulA-LacZ (#4.8). All constructs digested showed the right bands (left gel compared to virtual gel with expected bands on the right). Construct #2.3 gave the expected shift of the lowest band (arrow) compared to the LacZ-control construct (original biobrick BBa_K173004) due to the presence of the RecA promoter.
