- 2022 - Successful Transformation of pYES2 Plasmid into BL21 Leading to New Directions to Allow for Expression in Yeast - Poster Presentation
- Description
- For the PET Project at the InnovaBio lab, the goal was to grow a linked protein of PETase and MHETase in Brewer’s Yeast. This was because the result would be the breakdown of Polyethylene Terephthalate (or plastic) and have the waste product of ethanol that could be used in a variety of ways. However, when the yeast was grown, no protein bands of any kind appeared on an SDS-PAGE gel or Western Blot after the yeast were lysed and sonicated. With the expectation of seeing the protein expressed after being lysed and sonicated, the project made a transition from yeast to Escherichia coli with the same pYES2 plasmid as it was compatible and could also be transformed into E. coli. Here, I present the pYES2 plasmid in BL21 E. coli. SDS-PAGE gels of the induced E. coli show that we were successful at lysing and sonicating but lack the expression of the protein. Double digest and PCR of purified plasmid show that the protein is present in the E. coli. These findings show that the sequence was successfully inserted into the pYES2 plasmid. However, further testing is needed to verify sequencing of the protein as well as to determine why galactose is not causing induction.

- Title
- 2022 - Can Kombucha Be Used in Tissue Engineering? - Poster Presentation
- Description
- SCOBY, symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, is a byproduct of the Kombucha fermentation process. The waste product of such cultures, a bacterial cellulose, has potential as a support matrix for tissue cultured cells. This product is of interest to the tissue engineering field as this polymer could function as a scaffold for cells due to is cost effectiveness and biodegradability. This study aims to test the scaffolding capabilities of the bacterial cellulose by seeding bone, heart, and kidney cells on such a scaffold. The study will focus on the ability of the scaffold to support cell proliferation and morphological differentiation. This will be accomplished by measuring the scaffold’s pore size and ability to absorb fluids (while maintaining structural integrity), as well as by observing the seeded scaffolds.
