- → The plates showed a low amount of colonies, and also red in the case of the positive plate.
- → The two plates with stripes of pZntR-GVP (pSB2K3) and pCueO-GVP (pSB2K3) culture for glycerol stocks showed growth and some single colonies.
- → All plates were stored in the fridge for further use.
Cultures
The overnight cultures with LB-amp100 medium of colonies E.coli TOP10 with pArsR-GVP (4x), GVP (2x), pNL29 (2x), and HmtA (1-3) all showed expected growth of bacteria.
- Two of the pArsR-GVP tubes were handed over to Steven-Jelle for use of inoculating bigger cultures, the remaining tubes were used for plasmid isolation.
Plasmid isolation
Plasmid isolation was performed on the cultures of E.coli TOP10 containing the above mentioned plasmids with the "Sygma-Aldrich™ GenElute™ Plasmid Miniprep Kit".
- From each tube 5 to 10mL of culture was collected in a 2.0mL cup (tubes from pArsR-GVP, GVP and pNL29 were combined), and the cells were pelleted by centrifugation for 1 min. at max. speed and the supernatant discarded.
- Plasmids were eluted with 30μL MQ and stored in the fridge

HmtA no.3 | 42.6 | 1.91 | 2.06 | x | Yes (PstI) |
Restriction for Assembly, and Control (HmtA)
The plasmids from the o.n. precultures of pArsR-GVP and pSB2K3 (earlier last week) were cut with PstI and EcoRI to cut out the entire part between the pre- and suffix. The plasmids with PstI were cut with PstI for control.

Purification
- → In step 7 the fragments were eluted in 12μL MQ and was stored on ice until use.
