PCR

We performed PCR on to amplify the sequence in order to have enough amount of DNA to carry out the following of our experiments.

  • Preparation of the templates :
    Resuspension of 1 colony in 100µl of water.


  • Preparation of PCR mix :

For each sample,

1 µl dNTP
10 µl Buffer Phusion 5x
2,5 µl Oligo_F
2,5 µl Oligo_R
1µl template
1 µl Phusion
50 µl qsp H2O (33µl)

  • Program PCR_Screening : Annealing 30" at 60°C - Time élongation 1'30" at 72°C - Number cycle : 30


PCR verification/Analysis

Analysis of PCR product (Gel 1)
Analysis of PCR product (Gel 2)

After the PCR :

  • 2*3µl have been analysed by electrophoresis
  • the other 44µl of PCR products have been purified by the Promega kit.


  • Electrophoresis

ladder : 10µl ladder 1 kb
samples : 3µl of PCR products + 2µl of Loading Dye
migration 30min at 100V, on a 1% agarose gel


  • Results :
Name Promotor Gel Band Expected size Measured size
PCR_130 Gel E0240 RBS+ Gel 1 2 876 bp
900 bp
PCR_131 Negative Control Gel 1 3 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_132 flhD RBS- Gel 1 4 351 bp
350 bp
PCR_133 Negative Control Gel 1 5 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_134 flhC RBS- Gel 1 6 579 bp
600 bp
PCR_135 Negative Control Gel 1 7 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_136 pflhDC Gel 2 2 1165 bp
1300 bp
PCR_137 Negative Control Gel 2 3 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_138 pflhDC Gel 2 4 1311 bp
2100 pb
PCR_139 Negative Control Gel 2 5 0 bp
0 pb


==> Conclusion : We observed the size expected for the PCR products, but not for pflhDC (PCR_138), is right. We hypothesis for PCR_138 that the size is longer that expected due to the aspecific fixation of Oligo O111 (upper to the real site).


  • Electrophoresis

Culture of ligation transformants

  • 4 clones of each transformation were cultured in 7,5 mL LB + ampicilline. The colonies picked up were the rest of those already picked up from the transformation plate (for the PCR screening of August 8).
  • 37°C overnight
Ligation L128 L129 L130
Name pFlgA pFlgB pFlhB
Clone N° 1 2 3 4 1 2 6 7 1 2 7 8
Red fluorescence yes yes no no yes yes no no yes no no no
