Inoculation:
A colony from BBa_C0080 plate was inoculated in 7ml LB media + 7μL Chloramphenicol. Same was done for BBa_C0012. These cultures were kept at 37°C for 12 hours.
28th June 2015
No growth was observed in both the liquid cultures.
A new colony was inoculated again.
29th June 2015
Growth observed in the cultures of BBa_C0080 and BBa_C0012. Gylcerol stocks were made for both.
Plasmid isolation was done using Alkaline Lysis protocol for the 2 cultures. (1.5ml culture x 3)

Both samples showed an RNA smear.
This occurred as the Alkaline Lysis solution I did
not have RNAse. After observing this smear, RNAse was added to the solution.
Re-inoculation of the two cultures was done

Colonies of device 2a, 2b and 2c obtained. No colonies on 2d.
3 colonies from each plate were inoculated, incubated for 12 hours at 37°C and miniprepped.
These were then digested with EcoRI to check the length of the plasmid on a gel.
The bands were as expected.
An overnight digest followed by 2 hour ligation was set to assemble to following device:

Plasmid isolation by alkaline lysis
Chemicals required:
- CAM antibiotic
- LB media
- Alkaline lysis buffer 1
- Alkaline lysis buffer 2
- Alkaline lysis buffer 3
- Ethanol
- Phenol: Chloroform (1:1)
- STE
- TE with RNase A
Protocol
- Inoculate 5ml of rich media containing the appropriate antibiotic (CAM)
- Incubate culture overnight at 37 deg
- Pour 5ml of culture into a microfuge tube
- Centrifuge in microfuge for 3 min at 4deg
- Remove media by aspiration leaving bacterial pellet as dry as possible
- Resuspend the pellet in 100microl of ice-cold alkaline lysis solution 1 by vortexing
- Add 200microl of alkaline lysis solution 2 , mix with inverting
- Add 150 microl ice-cold alkaline lysis solution 3 mix with invertexing
- Store tube on ice for 3-5 min
- Centrifuge bacterial lysate ,5 min 13000rpm at 4deg in microfuge
- Transfer supernatant to fresh tube
- Add equal volume of phenol: chloroform
- Mix the organic and aqueous phase by vortexing
- Centrifuge at maximum speed 2 min at 4deg
- Transfer the aqueous upper layer to fresh tube
- Add 2 volume of ethanol
- Mix by vortexing for 2 min
- Centrifuge for 5min at 4deg
- Remove supernatant by aspiration
- Remove all liquid keeping inverted position
- Add 1ml of ethanol to pellet
- Centrifuge for 2min at 4deg
- Remove all supernatant by aspiration
- Remove ethanol beads and evaporate it at room temperature
- Dissolve nucleic acid in 50microl of TE containing RNases A
- Vortex the solution gently for 2 sec
- Store DNA solution at -20deg
Result: no DNA pellet after precipitation by ethanol
Comment: Most probably step 12 is done in incorrect way
