Formal Lab Session - 23rd September 2009
Overview
Stochastic Switch Team
Today we discovered that the transfrormations seemed sucessful, and the control plates had no growth at all which is what was hoped for. Hopefuly this means that we have a transformed ara-sspb-pSB1AT3 ligation product.
- We set up miniprep cultures for 12 colonies using LB + amp + tet
- We also set up 12 more miniprep cultures for the Sac transformed cells in hope that the precious minipreps had been carried out incorrectly.
Sporulation Tuning/Chassis Team
Introduction
- Today's main work is to ligate kinA with pGFP-rrnB vector and transform ligated vector into E.coli.
Experiment procedure
ligate kinA and pGFP-rrnB
- ligate reaction
dd H2O 14.5ul Fast ligation buffer 4ul pGFP-rrnB backbone(180ng/ul) 0.5ul kinA fragment(6.1ng/ul) 15ul T4 ligase 1ul --------------------------------------------- 35ul
- Votex for few seconds.
- 22C 10min and 1 hour in RT.
Digest pMK-RQ:kinA and pGFP-rrnB
- pMK-RQ digest reaction.
dd H2O 7ul 10X fast digest buffer 7ul Fast EcoRI 3ul Fast NheI 3ul pMK-RQ vector 50ul ------------------------------ 70ul
- pGFP-rrnB digest reaction.
dd H2O 7ul 10X fast digest buffer 7ul Fast EcoRI 3ul Fast NheI 3ul pGFP-rrnB vector 50ul ------------------------------ 70ul
- Incubate 1 hour at 37 degree.
Purify the digest fragment and backbone
- Run the digested DNA on big well agarose gel.
- cut the right bands.
- Use gel extraction kit to purify the DNA fragments.
Transformation
- Followed the Phil's transformation protocal.
Make LB+Spectinomycin plates
- The spectinomycin solution in frige is 20mg/ml
- The concentration needed in plate is 50ug/ml
- Add 2.5ml spectinomycin solution into 1 liter LB agar medium and pour the plate

Further plan
- If th transformation was success, we need to prepare the Mini and Midi culture.
- Collect the plasmid with kinA and do transformation for B.subtilis.
