Original Goals • Achieve • E. coli to fluoresce red at low temp (37°C) in presence of Cl or Cl (ts). • Find optimum temp where color change will be found. • ~ 30-37°C • Find optimum concentration of Cl. • Gene originally from coral. • Backup Plan • Use high temp parts to make E. coli fluoresce at high temp instead at low using a different gene. • Expressing high (green) and low (red) temp. genes in one sequence.
Project’s Original Protocol • Isolate plasmid • Digest with appropriate enzymes. • Confirm base pair length • Ligation of confirmed digested Biobrick parts • Ligate final Biobrick arrangement • Confirm arrangement and biobrick standards • Grow under different environmental conditions
Protocol • Isolate biobricks out of well Plates. • BBa_I12007 – Promoter • Created oligo - RBS • BBa_E1010 - Gene • BBa_B0015 - Double Terminator

Bacterial Transformation Results • Growth After Plating
Isolating of Parts 1st Digestion & Gel • Our digestion was successful a band of 681 was our target for the Gene Latter 13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5, 4, 3,2 1,latter • 100bp • 250bp • 500bp • 750bp • 1000bp • 100bp • 250bp • 500bp • 750bp • 1000bp Gene BBa_E1010 Isolation
Isolating of Parts 10/12 Expected • Promoter –82bp • Double terminator-129bp • RBS was not ran due to size of only 13bp • 100bp • 250bp • 500bp • 750bp • 1000bp Ladder 1,2, 3,4 5,6,7 Double Terminator Promoter (BBa_B0015) (BBa_I12007) Double Terminator--Promoter

Ligation Results 11/11 (Promoter & RBS) (Gene & DT) • Ligation problem possibly low functioning EcoR1 • Promoter & RBS – not sure if ligated correctly due to RBS small size 13bp. Difference can’t be seen on gel • Gene & DT – Believe only DT is showing up 129bp 15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6 5,4,3,2,1 ladder • 1000bp • 750bp • 500bp • 250bp • 100bp
Results 11/16 • We Concluded that EcoR1 was not fully functional. • So our parts were not cut open properly to ligate the Gene to the double terminator. 9,8,7,6,5,4,3, 2 1 ladder • 1000bp • 750bp • 500bp • 250bp • 100bp Attempted Gene & Double Terminator Ligation
Final Disappointment New Religation of stored Gene & Double Terminator • No proper digestions around 810bp. • No Ligation? • Error Analysis: • Still low functioning enzymes & Resuspension fluid had been left out of 4C for undisclosed amount of time. 15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 ladder • 100bp • 250bp • 500bp • 750bp • 1000bp Attempted Gene & Double Terminator Ligation
Conclusion We were successful in isolating and confirming 3 of our Biobrick parts. Gene Promoter Double terminator. Given more time, fresh enzymes and other properly working materials ligating of our biobrick parts would have been successful.
