Questions for Stephen

  1. Do we have the regulated wintergreen GC data in a form that we could generate plots similar to the banana timecourse?
    • Yes, we could. It would take some digging through old files and sorting out through each protocol we used on each day. I don't know if it's necessary to show though.
  2. What did you use to shake the cultures? i.e. what incubator or shaker?
    • 220 RPM- the shaker in 37 C room
    • 110 RPM- the shaker by Samantha's/2007 iGEM team's bench

General outstanding issues

  • Funding sources for each person
  1. See last email... all undergrads were funded in the summer of 2006 by the MIT UROP office
  • Protocol for transformation

See below

  1. Transformation - André Transform competent cells
    • Thaw ~50 μl cells (whichever you like) on ice. Do not use glass tubes, which adsorb DNA.
    • Add 200 uL DNA to cells
    • Incubate on ice for 30 minutes
    • Incubate cells for 50-60 seconds at 42°C.
    • Incubate cells on ice for 2 min.
    • Add 200-300μL of room temperature SOC (not critical)
    • Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C on shaker.
    • Spread 200 μl onto plates made with appropriate antibiotic.
    • Grow overnight at 37°C.
  • Describing figure 6
