Minipreps and glycerol stock

  • The clones L133.2 and L133.3 didn't grow up in LB+ampicillin: they seem not to have the plasmid, as revealed by PCR.
  • Minipreps and Glycerol stocks were made for the clones L133.1 and L134.2.
Miniprep Glycerol Stock Ligation Name
MP155 S154 L133.1 OmpR*
MP156 S155 L134.2 EnvZ*
  • ==>Minipreps of L133.1 and L134.2 will be sequenced.

The PCR screening of the transformants L139 and L142 of august 15th revealed several bands for a given clone including one band appearing at the right size.
There are 2 hypothesis:

  • The right clone was contaminated by a wrong one
  • The clone contains 2 plasmids: one with the insert and another one without the insert

In order to check these 2 hypothesis and to isolate (if it is possible) the right clone (containing the plasmid with the insert). We decided to spread the "clone" in question in a LB plate in order to carry out a PCR screening on single colonies.

  • Take of some bacteria from the glycerol stock
  • Resuspension in 400 µL of LB+antibiotic
  • Spreading of 200 µL in a LB agar plate containing the appropriate antibiotic
  • Incubation overnight at 37°C

We had a problem with a gel and we lost these digestions.
