Formal Lab Session - 18th September 2009
Stochastic Switch Team
Today we did midipreps of the ara transformation and digested 10ul to run on a gel (EcoRI + PstI) Two bands could be seen one for the backbone and one correctly sied for the insert (~200bp) so this midiprep can be taken forward in order to do the ara-sspb double clone.
Today we also made up some fresh DNA ladder as we have had problems with degradation.
- 40ul of 500ug/ml promega lambda HindIII digest (20ug in total)
- 280ul H2O
- 80ul loading dye
=400ul which was aliquoted into 4 tubes; 3 put in the freezer 1 in the fridge.

Introduction
Practical Outline
This is the initial list of tasks which need to be carried out by the end of the day:
- Start the Bacillus subtilis transformation process ("Day of transformation" steps of protocol) in the morning.
- Design primers for checking B. subtilis cotC integration
- Plate out some TPA2 cells for production of competent Dh5-alpha E. coli cells
- Run digests from yesterday (midi-prep digests) on gel
- If successful transform B. subtilis with midi-prep DNA
- If unsuccessful prepare another ligation attempt
- Carry out a second attempt at digesting the 5 midi-prep samples from the 11/09/09 Lab Session, i.e. cotC-GFP-smtA, kinA, pGFP-rrnB, pMUTIN4 and pSB1AT3
