Primer Designs for Agrobacterium Vector

  • Primers were designed to amplify from the Expression Series pORE Agrobacterium plasmid (e3) 1)the pENTcup2 promoter, 2) the tNOS stop sequence, 3) the tNOS stop sequence + additional stop codon and 4) the pHLP promoter.

Note: the NOSterm_BB_R primer works for both tNOS and tNOS+STOP codon sequences.

BioBrick Transformation

  • Colonies were observed after overnight culture growth, but in low quantities.
    • J45700 and J45004 (both Wintergreen Pathway) showed minimal number of colonies on both 10μL and 100μL cultures.
    • J45250 and J45014 (both Banana Pathway) showed no colonies on either the 10μL or 100μL cultures.
