Building LuxI sender TESTER cell

R0011 (verified) + F1610 (not right part from registry)
Going after S03608 (pLac_RBS_LuxI) from 2008 paper registry :-(
If we get this and verify, we are done with this. If not, we are in need of LuxI part.

Building LuxR receiver TESTER cell

Part K09100 has been built.
Ready to test.

Building LasI sender TESTER cell

R0011+ S03154.

Building LasR receiver TESTER cell

Ligatiion 1A S03156 + R0011
Ligation 1B R0079 + E0240
Ligation 1C B0015 + R0079

Ligation 2: Successful Ligation 1A + uccessful Ligation 1B
Ligation 3: Successful Ligation 2 + R0011

Testing Crosstalk between Lux and Las

1) Mix LuxI sender cells with LasR receiver tester cells: negative control
2) Mix LasI sender cells with LuxR receiver tester cells: negative control
3) Mix LuxI sender cells with LuxR receiver tester cells: experiment we hope will glow green
4) Mix LasI sender cells with LasR receiver tester cells: experiment we hope will glow green
5) Verify LuxR receiver tester cells don't glow solo
6) Verify LasR receiver tester cells don't glow solo

Testing AND gate

We have successfully built the pTetLac AND promoter: K091101.
Now we need the various LacI proteins (I12, X86 and I12+X86 variants).
We need to see if this AND gate works as designed. We need to test output to see if the two halves are balanced.
