Gradient PCR Pho

Kama


Tasks:

  • Amplification of phoP/phoQ

Methods:

  • PCR mixture's composition:

    1ul pfu buffer (Fermentas), 1ul MgSO4 (Fermentas), 0,5ul primers, 0,5ul dNTPs (10 mM), 0,25ul pfu turbo polymerase, 0,5ul template DNA from Listeria, optionally: 0,75ul DMSO, solution was topped up with H2O to 10ul.
  • PCR programs:
  • pho

    4min 95°C 
    (30s 95°C, 1min 45-55°C, 4min 72°C)x3
    (30s 95°C, 1min 55-60°C, 4min 72°C)x28
    10min 72°C
    ~ 7°C
  • Electrophoretic separation on 1% agarose gel

Results:

  • Gel (from left)
  1. control -
  2. 2-6 - samples (annealing temperature increases to from the left to the right)
  3. 7-11 - samples with DMSO (annealing temperature increases to from the left to the right)
  4. M - GeneRuler DNA Ladder Mix #SM0333 (Fermentas)

  5. Notes:


    Isolation and digest of pKS-CRO (ligated and transformed into E. coli the previous day)



    Kuba



    • pKS-CRO cut with XbaI and EcoRI

    • Gel (from the left)
    1. GeneRuler DNA Ladder Mix #SM0333 (Fermentas)
    2. uncut plasmid (isolate no.1)
    3. cut plasmid (isolate no.1)
    4. uncut plasmid (isolate no.2)
    5. cut plasmid (isolate no.2)
    6. uncut plasmid (isolate no.3)
    7. cut plasmid (isolate no.3)


Note: isolate no.1 contains a correctly inserted PCR product



Miecznikowa team Aim: debug RFP-terminator ligation that did not work

Jarek/Franek/Ania

Task1:

  • Alkaline lysis of the plasmid containing Terminator

Methods:

  • PlasmidMini set by A&A Biotechnology was used. 2 test tubes with 5ml LB and 5 ul Ampicyline were first inoculated with the plasmid containing colonies. The cultures were incubated over night at 37C.Alkaline lysis was performed on both cultures. The pellet from 5 ml of bacteria was used.

Results:

  • DNA extraction quality controll.DNA Concentration was measured using Spectrophotometer NanoDrop ND-1000

DNA sample DNA concentration in ng
Terminator sample 1 (Ter1) 73.9 ng/ul
Terminator sample 1 (Ter2) 85.46 ng/ul

Task2:

  • We decided to measure the concentration of DNA in our samples for future use e.g. efficient ligation mix. NanoDrop ND-1000 was used.

Results:

DNA sample DNA concentration in ng
Rfp3 1st measurement 17.49 ng/ul
Rfp3 2nd 24.18 ng/ul
Rfp3 3rd 24.50 ng/ul
Rfp4 1st measurement 28.85 ng/ul
Rfptra (digested plasmid with RFP) 0.4 ng/ul
Rfptra 2nd measurement 0.8 ng/ul
RBS digested (digested RBS) 1.44 ng/ul
RBS digested 2nd measurement 0.72 ng/ul

Notes - IMPORTANT:

  • Rfptra and RBSdigested samples were extracted from the gel using gel-out kit by A&ABiotechnology. Presented data shows that after gel extraction there is very little DNA in the sample. Probably there is a ****problem with gel extraction procedure**** - the Gel-out set by A&A Biotechnology might be defective.
