Revision as of 10:37, 29 October 2017
Aim
- We designed and ordered the gBlocks for 4 genes, which encoded for proteins involved in hydrogen production (fer, hyd1, hydEF, hydG) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
- Improved gBlock hydG which demonstrated a loss of functionality (2016) due to a point mutation.
- These gBlocks were inserted into one Biobrick (known as the Hydrogen Producing Gene Cluster) and transformed into Escherichia coli with a lac promoter and chloramphenicol resistance.
- Once induced, we aimed to test the rate of hydrogen gas production in these cells.
Experimental Design
- Analyse, optimise and construct the necessary gBlocks.
- Digest and ligate gblocks into Biobricks.
- Digest/Double digest in conjunction with sequencing to verify gBlocks.
- Digest and ligate gBlocks together via standard assembly.
- Induce plasmid with IPTG for protein expression.
- Run cell lysate of fer on SDS-PAGE followed by Mass Spectrometry to analyse gel bands.
- Test hydrogen production using Clark electrode and gas volume measurement experiment.
