Week 8 (12/7 - 18/7)

▪ July 13

Anaerobic Promoter    ☀ Yi Han & Yun Ting ☀

Ligation for FNRgfp (4X)
200ng of gfp plasmid (4.36ul)
297.5 ng insert (7:1) 10.3
1ul 10Buffer (53.34)
4ul T4 ligase


Trial run of anaerobe chamber
open sachet to decrease O2 at 3.30pm
takes 2.5h to activate
streak plate of P. putida a strict aerobe and E. coli, facultative aerobe in chamber at 30deg C to grow O/N
P. putida is an obligate aerobe and if chamber works ,it will not grow
E. coli should grow in both conditions
controls grown outside chamber
