Transformation

All the ligations were transformed according transformation for Top10 protocol


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 E0240 Gel 1 2 876 bp
900 bp
PCR_130' Negative Control Gel 1 3 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_131 flhD RBS- Gel 1 4 351 bp
350 bp
PCR_131' Negative Control Gel 1 5 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_132 flhC RBS- Gel 1 6 579 bp
600 bp
PCR_132' Negative Control Gel 1 7 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_133 flhDC + prom Gel 2 2 1165 bp
1300 bp
PCR_133' Negative Control Gel 2 3 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_134 flhDC + prom Gel 2 4 1311 bp
2100 pb
PCR_134' Negative Control Gel 2 5 0 bp
0 pb


==> Conclusion : We observed the size expected for the PCR products, but not for pflhDC (PCR_134), 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
Analysis of PCR product (Gel 3)

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


  • Results :
Name Promotor Gel Band Expected size Measured size
PCR_135 pfliL Gel 3 2 124 bp
0 bp
PCR_135' Negative Control Gel 3 3 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_136 pflhDC Gel 3 4 223

PCR_136' Negative Control Gel 3 5 0 bp
0 bp
PCR_137 pflhDC Gel 3 6 369

PCR_137' Negative Control Gel 3 7 0 bp
0 bp


==> Conclusion : We need to repeat the experiments.

Culture of ligation transformants (pFlgA, pFlgB and pFlhB)

  • 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
