Yesterday we performed a plasmid prep on all transformed genes. Today I did the same for the B0034 RBS. This with a small screw up as I accedentilly eluted with 1 M Tris-HCl as opposed to 5 ''m''M! I precipitated the DNA wizh ethanol and resuspen in 5 mM Tris-HCl.

Transformation of Adh2 z, evaluation of competence

continued since yesterday

So, it's official, our competent cells are really quite incompetent! Tested against the new bath of competent DH5alfa which got 220 transformations (100*10^6 / µg pUC 19)our perfored extremly bad at around 20 transformations.

We will make new CCMB80 (unauotclaved this time) and also consider to switch cells to TOP10 instead.

Plasmid prep continued

Yesterday we performed a plasmid prep on all transformed genes. Today I did the same for the B0034 RBS. This with a small screw up as I accedentilly eluted with 1 M Tris-HCl as opposed to 5 mM! I precipitated the DNA with ethanol and resuspended it in 5 mM Tris-HCl.

Left to do: Measure DNA concentration for all the plasmid preps.

Plasmid Measurements

Anders made the measurements of the DNA concentration with 100 times dilutions.

Picking adh2 (Z) colonies

I inoculated 15 adh2 (Z) colonies in 200µl of LB with 50µg/ml amp in 1,5ml eppendorfs. Picked them with a 10µl tip and dropped them in the eppendorf. Inoculated at 37°C and 250 rpm. Colony PCR and gel coming soon. (further down)

Colongy PCR of new adh2 (Z)

Colongy PCR of adh2 (Z) (VF2 and VR). Final volume 10µl with Taq Polymerase at 50°C annealing temperature. Performed on PCR machine #2 (Eppendorf oldschool grad, real spec coming..)

PCR of pirA

New primers for pirA according to the [http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=A+cyanobacterial+gene+encoding+an+ortholog+of+Pirin+is+induced+under+stress+conditions&aq=f&aqi=&fp=82e34627c46f57f4 FEBS article by Hihara]. Gradient according to table

  1. @ 43,2°C
  2. @ 46,3°C
  3. @ 48,2°C
  4. @ 60,7 (pirB control)


Performed with Phusion .

Gel coming.

Gel of colony PCR

Here is the gel from the colony PCR.
