Screening of the cloning of E0240 and FlhDC+promotor

We obtained colonies isolated with the dilution 1/100; 13 clones were analysed by PCR

PCR screening

reaction mixture (25 µL)

  • 12,5 µL Quick load PCR Mixture 2X
  • 0,5 µL O18
  • 0,5 µL O19
  • 11,5 µL water

PCR screening programm

  • elongation time: 1 min 30
  • primers: O18 and O19
  • positive control: S158 (pSB3K3)
  • negative control: no template

Electrophoresis

Gel n°1 (E0240 screening)

Results: 
*The clone of E0240 (S159.1) always have several bands amplified by PCR.
It might contain different plasmids. *The clone of FlhDC+promotor (S161.1) don't have the correct size band.
It also doesn't have the insert in the plasmid.
