Preparations

Preparations were started at the end of the week before

  • Transformation of pDK48 and pTrc99alpha plamids in E. coli strain DH5α (0.5 µl plasmid-DNA + 50 µl competent cells)
  • Glycerol-stock of Vibrio harveyi BB120, BB886, mm30, BB178, BB125
  • pick pTrc99α and pDK48 colonies and then incubated in 3 ml LB at 37 overnight
  • V. harveyi cultured on LB plate
  • MiniPrep of pTrc99α and pDK48 from DH5α
