Parts overview
Parts overview
Down below all parts that were used in our project can be seen. To quickly generate our parts we utilized the offer from IDT, and let them synthesize most of the sequences used. The characterized parts were instead used from the BioBrick kits. The base vector, BBa_K3182200 (pT7-CBDcipA), were first cloned into pSB1C3 along with BBa_K1033933 (AsPink). Later pCons-AsPink (BBa_J23100, BBa_K1033933) were cloned into that vector and "pink-white screening" was utilized. After our base vector had been established the rest of our basic parts was cloned into it with the pink-white screening method (see BBa_K3182100). Our characterization of the binding domain and antimicrobial peptides and enzymes will hopefully reduce the need for antibiotics.The use of Vibrio natriegens in our work
The team also used the newly found host, Vibrio natriegens (V. natriegens). To enable expression of our composite parts parts needed to be moved from pSB1C3 (unable to replicate in V. natriegens) to another vector, for this pUC19 was chosen, since it has already been proved to replicate in V. natriegens. The vector pUC19 was chosen due to its similarities with pSB1C3, being a small plasmid. It was slightly modified with termination sequences outside of the insert and the pLac and LacZ' was removed. The team then utilized the same pink-white screening method as before and successfully cloned in all of our basic parts into the pUC19-CBD- vector as well. However, we had much work to do with our agents already and did not fully explore V. natriegens.Please note that none of the parts were designed with a termination sequence, this is because this would add one to all basic parts which would turn into 1000 extra base pairs for IDT to synthesize. Termination sequences are also troublesome to handle sometimes. We instead used vectors with termination sequences outside of the insert, to avoid adding complexity to our ligation reactions.
