Screening of the cloning of OmpR*, EnvZ* and FlhDC+promotor

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.

Spreading the clones in order to obtain single colonies

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
