Applications of BBa_K320004

This BioBrick has two main functions, it makes the bacteria to resistant to the Antibiotic Kanamycin and it provides an origin of replication working for E. coli and Asaia.

To test the BioBrick, we added it in the pSBC3 vector. This plasmid provides a resistance to Chloramphenicole and an origin of replication which works only for E.Coli.

We transfected both E. coli and Asaia with the plasmid.

The transfected E. coli were grown on a plate of LB with Agar containing Kanamycin. This experiment confirmed that the part provides the bacteria with resistance to Kanamycin.

Until the wiki freeze we haven't been able to successfully transform Asaia with this construct. We don't know if that is caused by either the origin, the resistance gene or the fact that the plasmid contains two origins at the same time (our positive control [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1885625/?tool=pubmed pHM2-GFP plasmid], which contains the same origin but a non-biobrick kanamycin resistance, works).
