Aim Competent cell test
To test the competence of our cells, we performed a competent cell test according to the IGEM Competent Cell test kit protocol.
We dissolved the dried-down purified plasmid DNA from BBa_J04450 into 50 µl of water to obtain 100 pg/µl and 10 pg/µl concentrations. In short, 1 µl of each DNA concentration was added to 50 µl of competent cells in duplicates. We obtained plenty of colonies and the efficiency of transformation was determined sufficient. This batch of competent E. coli DH5ɑ cells was used for all of the following E. coli transformations.

Aim Transformation of competent E. coli DH5ɑ with the devices for the iGEM Interlab study
The next devices were provided to us by iGEM in the plates in the distribution kit. The following devices were resuspended into 10 µl sterilized deionized water.
Device Location on plate 7 Negative control 2D Positive control 2B Device 1 2F Device 2 2H Device 3 2J Device 4 2L Device 5 2N Device 6 2P 1 µl of this solution was transformed into 50 µl of competent DH5ɑ cells using the following protocol:
- LB plates with the appropriate antibiotics were prepared as described here (link to our protocol page LB agar plates)
- Eppendorf tubes (1.5 ml) were pre-chilled on ice and competent cells were thawed on ice
- 50 µl of competent cells was added to the pre-chilled eppendorf tubes, together with the DNA
- 30 min incubation on ice
- Heat shock for 45 sec in a 42℃ water bath
- Incubation on ice for 5 min
- 950 µl of LB broth was added to the cells
- Incubation for 1 hour, 37℃, 200 rpm
- Plating of the cells on the LB-agar plates. 100 µl one one plate, then the culture is centrifuged and the supernatant is partially discarded. The cell pellet is resuspended in approximately 100 µl and plated on a separate plate.
- Overnight incubation at 37℃ (agar side up)
- Wednesday July 11th
Who: Rianne
Aim Growth of the colonies used in the iGEM Interlab study
We obtained between 10-100 colonies per transformation. Two colonies were picked with a sterile pipette tip and transferred into 5 ml of LB with chloramphenicol. The cultures were grown in the appropriate broth overnight at 37℃ in a shaking incubator at 200 rpm.

Aim To purify the plasmids from Wen. et al out of E. coli for transformation into yeast
- 1882: PYD1 - CipA1 - EGII
- 1883: PYD1 - CipA3 - EGII
- CB: PRS425 - CBHII - BGLI
These three plasmids that we received from Wen. et al were kindly transformed by Vakhil Takhaveev into E. coli and plated onto LB agar plates. In order to purify the plasmids out of these cells, I grew three colonies of each strain into 10 ml of LB with the appropriate antibiotics. The next day, the plasmid was extracted from the full-grown cultures using a plasmid extraction kit. The following concentrations (ng/µl) were obtained:

Aim Production of glycerol stocks for the strains used in the iGEM Interlab study
250 µl of culture was mixed with 250 µl of 50% glycerol and stored at -80℃. Simultaneously, a small amount of the glycerol stock was transferred into 5 ml of fresh medium supplemented with chloramphenicol and grown overnight at 37℃, 200 rpm.
- Friday July 13th
Who: Rianne & Phillip
Aim First cell measurement for the iGEM Interlab study
- 500 µl of the overnight culture was transferred into 4,5 ml of LB with chloramphenicol
- OD600 measurement of 1:10 dilutions
- Dilution of these 1:10 cultures to target OD600 0.2 in a final volume of 12 ml
- 1000 µl of the 0 hour time point culture was pipetted into an eppendorf tube and kept on ice until further use in a box with ice at 4℃.
- Six hours of incubation at 37℃, 200 rpm
- 1000 µl of the 6 hour time point culture was pipetted into an eppendorf tube and kept on ice until further use in a box with ice at 4℃.
- 100 µl of these cell cultures were transferred into wells of a 96-microtiter plate.
Colony 1 Colony 2 Negative control 0.191 0.192 Positive control 0.198 0.204 Device 1 0.152 0.149 Device 2 0.189 0.208 Device 3 0.19 0.191 Device 4 0.15 0.171 Device 5 0.094 0.109 Device 6 0.204 0.195 10 ml of culture was already pipetted into the 50 ml falcon tubes for all cultures, except for cultures of device 5, for which 9 ml was used. To these tubes, the following volumes (µl) were added:
Colony 1 Cell culture LB Colony 2 Cell culture LB Negative control 1257 743 Negative control 1249 751 Positive control 1212 788 Positive control 1176 824 Device 1 1579 421 Device 1 1611 389 Device 2 1269 731 Device 2 1154 846 Device 3 1263 737 Device 3 1257 743 Device 4 1599 401 Device 4 1404 596 Device 5 2553 447 Device 5 2202 798 Device 6 1176 824 Device 6 1231 769 However, while analyzing our results, we realized that we did not set the ‘gain’ setting for fluorescence measurement in the plate reader to a fixed number across the different measurements. Therefore, we need to repeat this measurement.
Aim Correlate OD600 measurements in our plate reader to colony forming units (CFU)
We first diluted the overnight cultures of the negative and positive control 1:8 and measured OD600 in our plate reader. We then further diluted these cultures to target OD600 0.1, confirmed by our plate reader and plated onto plates in several dilutions.
Aim Calibration experiments for the Interlab study
LUDOX, silica beads and fluorescein experiments as described on our interlab page were also performed. As described above, the fluorescein calibration needs to be repeated.
The exact protocol can be found here and the results of these experiments can be found on our Interlab page.

Who: Rianne & Phillip
Aim Counting colony forming units
We checked the colonies and counted them, to calculate how many cells were present in our culture of which the plate reader displayed the OD600 to be 0.1. The following numbers of colonies were found, where + and - stand for positive and negative control, respectively, and 1 and 2 stand for the two colonies that were picked at day 11-7-18. (4) and (5) stand for the dilutions plated as performed on 13-7-18.

Aim Growth of yeast strain YGEN 0013 and the interlab strains for second measurement
YGEN 0013 colonies were picked and grown in Verduyn medium supplemented with the appropriate vitamins and trace elements, with addition of uracil, tryptophan and leucin. The strain was grown in 5 ml overnight at 30℃, 200 rpm.
To repeat the Interlab fluorescence measurements, the glycerol stocks of the interlab strains 12-7-18 were taken out of the -80℃, and grown in 5 ml of LB and the appropriate antibiotic overnight at 37℃, 220 rpm.
- Tuesday July 17th
Who: Rianne & Phillip
Aim Second Interlab measurement
The same protocol as described on 13-8-18 and in the Interlab study was used. The starting OD600 of the 1:10 diluted overnight cultures were:
Colony 1 Colony 2 Negative control 0.19 0.182 Positive control 0.167 0.168 Device 1 0.205 0.181 Device 2 0.17 0.175 Device 3 0.185 0.19 Device 4 0.168 0.184 Device 5 0.178 0.185 Device 6 0.195 0.174 Dilution of these 1:10 cultures to target OD600 0.2 in a final volume of 12 ml: 10 ml of culture was already pipetted into the 50 ml falcon tubes for all cultures. To these tubes, the following volumes (µl) were added:
Colony 1 Cell culture LB Colony 2 Cell culture LB Negative control 1263 737 Negative control 1319 681 Positive control 1437 563 Positive control 1429 571 Device 1 1171 829 Device 1 1326 674 Device 2 1412 588 Device 2 1371 629 Device 3 1297 703 Device 3 1263 737 Device 4 1429 571 Device 4 1304 696 Device 5 1348 652 Device 5 1297 703 Device 6 1231 769 Device 6 1379 621 The cell measurements and the fluorescein measurements were repeated, but now the gain settings were fixed between the measurements.

Aim Grow the cellulosome-strains on cotton
Common cotton pads were purchased from a local supermarket and 20 mg cotton was weighed and transferred into glass tubes. The tubes were subsequently autoclaved.
Glass tubes with 2%, 0,2%, 0,02%, 0,002% and 0,0002% galactose were prepared. Both with and without the cotton. 10 ml of Verduyn medium (supplemented with the appropriate vitamins, trace elements and with uracil) was added to each tube. As a positive control, LB and E. coli bacteria were added to a glass tube containing cotton, to exclude non-growth because of chemicals in the cotton pads. Also, Verduyn medium containing 2% glucose was added to one of the glass tubes with cotton, to ensure viability of the yeast strains.
Colonies of CB1883 and CB1882 were taken from the plate and inoculated into the tubes. The cultures were incubated at 30℃, 150 rpm.
Results Growth in both positive controls, no growth in the remaining tubes.

Aim Restriction digest of gBlock genes + restriction analysis on scaffold
Restriction digest of gBlock genes
Since the genes PAL2, CipA3 and BGLI were synthesized in two parts, they had to be ligated to use for further experiments.
- The CipA3 fragment contained a ClaI site
- BGLI contained ApaI and NruE, but since NruE cuts blunt ends, ApaI was used
- PAL2 contained NcoI
The fragments were hydrated to arrive at a final concentration of 10 ng/µl, the CipA3 fragments were already hydrated to a concentration of 5 ng/µl. The final reaction mixture contained the following ingredients:
Sample µl DNA µl Enzyme µl Buffer µl MQ µl Final PAL2 30 1 5 14 50 BGLI 30 1 5 14 50 CipA3 65 1.1 7.5 0 ~75 Where the enzyme used was corresponds to the enzyme as described above, and the buffer corresponds to the appropriate buffer for the enzyme. Both fragments for each gene are here already mixed.
Restriction digest was incubated at 37℃ for 2 hours and inactivated by heating to 80℃ for 20 minutes. The mixture was finally held at 4℃
Restriction analysis on scaffold
Colonies were picked previously by Rianne. 10 of these were selected for restriction analysis to verify the transformation. For the plasmid containing CipA3, the enzyme SmaI was used. SmaI has two recognition sites on the empty plasmid, pHIPZ7, producing one fragment of 4.6kb and one of 900b. When the gene is successfully inserted it will remove one of the recognition sites, producing only one large fragment of roughly 8.2kb.
The following scheme was used to prepare the reaction mixtures for all restriction digests of the CipA3 containing plasmids.
Sample µl DNA µl Enzyme µl Buffer µl MQ µl Final CipA3 1 1.3 0.5 2.5 15.7 20 CipA3 2 1.7 0.5 2.5 15.3 20 CipA3 3 1.43 0.5 2.5 15.6 20 CipA3 4 2.93 0.5 2.5 14 20 CipA3 5 2.96 0.5 2.5 14 20 The amount of DNA to add was calculated such that a final content of 250 ng of DNA would be reached. The restriction digest was incubated at 37℃ for 2 hours, after which the enzymes were inactivated by heating at 80℃ for 20 minutes.
Who: Matthijs
Aim Ligation of gBlock fragments + Restriction analysis on gel
Ligation of gBlock fragments
After the restriction digest, the fragments had to be ligated together. For this we use T4 ligase. The reaction was mixed as follows:
Sample µl DNA µl T4 µl Buffer µl MQ µl Final PAL2 6 0.5 1 2.5 10 BGLI 6 0.5 1 2.5 10 CipA3 8.5 0.5 1 1 10 The amount of DNA to add was calculated such that a total of 25 ng for each fragment was present. The ligation reaction was incubated at 16℃ for 16 hours overnight, after which the enzyme was heat inactivated by heating to 80℃ for 20 minutes.
Restriction analysis on gel
The restriction analysis of the CipA3 containing plasmids was run on an agarose gel. 1% of agarose was used in TAE buffer. 5 µl of SYBR green was added to 50 ml of agarose in TAE as prescribed by the manual. The gel was run at 100V for about 30 minutes after which it was imaged using a UV light source. As a standard DNA ladder, 1 kb generuler was added to the well in the middle.

Aim HF PCR on gblocks fragments
High fidelity PCR was used to amplify the ligated gblock fragments. The following primers were used:
Sample FW RV PAL2 PAL2.1-FW PAL2.2-REV BGLI BGLI-FW BGLI-RV CIPA3 CIP3A-FW CIP3F-REV Primers were diluted to 30 pmol/μl. The pipetting scheme was as follows:
Sample DNA µl FW µl RV µl Buffer µl HF µl H2O µl PAL2 2 1,7 1,7 10 2 32,6 BGLI 2 1,7 1,7 10 2 32,6 CIPA3 2 1,7 1,7 10 2 32,6 Control 0 1,7 1,7 10 2 34,6 The PCR protocol was as follows:

- annealing - 50C - 1m, 30x
- extension - 68C - 2m, 30x
- Final extension - 72C - 10m
The BGLI fragment seems to have a size of about 3kb which is as expected. The size of PAL2 is too small and is most likely not correct. CIPA3 did not give any signal. BGLI concentration after PCR: 69.2 ng/µl

Aim Ligation of BGLI into pHIPZ7
Since BGLI was the only sample with a proper PCR signal, it was attempted to ligate into pHIPZ7, our standard yeast expression plasmid.
First, double restriction with BamHI and XhoI was done using the following scheme:sample DNA Buffer BamHI XhoI H2O BGLI 3.6 µl 2.5 µl 0.5 µl 0.5 µl 12.9 µl The reaction was performed at 37℃ for two hours after which the enzymes were inactivated by heating the sample at 80℃ for 20 minutes.
This product was purified by using a PCR purification column to remove the enzymes and buffer components.
Next the product was mixed with linearized plasmid at a 1:3 weight ratio and T4 ligase was added to ligate the product into the plasmid.Sample Insert DNA pHIPZ7 T4 buffer T4 H2O BGLI 6 µl 5 µl 1.5 µl 1 µl 1.75 µl The reaction was performed overnight at 16℃ after which the enzyme was inactivated by heat treatment at 80℃ for 20 minutes.
The product was again cleaned up and Taq polymerase was performed to verify insertion. The general sequence primers were used as these should give a large product when a sequence has inserted at the restriction site and a small product otherwise.
PCR conditions were standard Taq conditions with an annealing temperature of 50℃ as the melting temperature of the primers was quite low.
Who: Ingeborg
Aim Restriction digest of EGII and CBHII
Restriction digest
For the plasmids containing EGII and CBHII, the enzyme NCOI was used.
NCOI has one recognition site on the empty plasmid, pHIPZ7, producing one fragment of 5.8kb. When the EGII gene is successfully inserted it will add one recognition site, producing one large fragment of roughly 6.4kb and a smaller fragment of 967b.
When the CBHII gene is successfully inserted it will add two recognition sites, producing one large fragment of roughly 5.5kb and two smaller fragments, a fragment of 1186b and one of 766b.The following scheme was used to prepare the reaction mixtures for all restriction digests of the EGII and CBHII containing plasmids.
Sample µl DNA µl Enzyme µl Buffer µl MQ µl Final EGII - E9 2.18 0.5 2.5 14.82 20 EGII - E10 1.56 0.5 2.5 15.44 20 CBHII - C9 2.17 0.5 2.5 14.83 20 CBHII - C10 1.2 0.5 2.5 15.8 20 The amount of DNA to add was calculated such that a final content of 250 ng of DNA would be reached.

Aim To miniprep e.coli pHIPZ7, restrict, and load and run an agarose gel
E. coli pHIPZ7 is miniprepped.
A gel is loaded:
Slot 1: Ladder (Jena 1kb ladder). Load 3 ul.
Slot 2: Unrestricted pHIPZ7 plasmid
Slot 3: Sample 1 from yesterday, 5 ul, mixed with 1 ul 5x loading dye
Slot 4: Sample 2 from yesterday, 5 ul, mixed with 1 ul 5x loading dye
Slot 5: Sample 3 from yesterday, 5 ul, mixed with 1 ul 5x loading dye
Run for 30 minutes at 90 mA.It appears that 1) from yesterday has cut only once, the same goes for 2) and 3).
Add 2 ul of PstI to 1) and 2), and add 1 ul BamHI to 3).
Incubate 2 hrs at 37 degrees Celsius.Mix 5 ul of each sample with 1 ul 5x loading dye, load in the same order as above, and run for 30 minutes at 90 mA.
