Learning to make liposomes – 12/07/18
We were introduced to the process of making liposomes by the nice people in Nikos Hatzakis lab, Søren Schmidt-Rasmussen Nielsen and Mette Galsgaard Malle who gave us the Preparing liposomes protocol. We made some tryout liposomes, that were flashed freezed and stored in -20 oC.

Transforming SIEC strains with GFP plasmids – 24/08/18
To visualize our bacteria in the microscope together with a membrane we needed it transformed with a GFP plasmid with constitutive expression. We used plasmids from the distribution kit that functioned as Test Device 1 (BBa_J36400) and positive control (BBa_I20270) in the InterLab study. Transformation as described in Transformation protocol until step 14, the following combinations of strain and plasmid was made:
- SIEC x BBa_J36400
- SIEC x BBa_I20270
- SIECΔp1 x BBa_J36400
- SIECΔp1 x BBa_I20270
Plates were made from agar and LB with chloramphenicol (34 μg/mL) (CAM). Plates with bacteria spent 17 hours in the incubator before being kept in fridge. Conclusion: hereafter we used the bacteria transformed with BBa_I20270.
