Result of the isolation of colonies

E0240 and pSB3K3

E0240 and pSB3K3 are ok : there is a lot of single colonies
Two colonies are picked for an overnight culture at 37°C, 225 rpm, in order to extract plasmids (MiniPreps)

S120 and S121

S120 and S121 : there is a problem, there is nothing on the plates. We have to check whether those strains are really resistant to Amp.
We checked in the strain library, actually the strains do not carry any resistance cassette. We plated them once again on petri dishes with LB without antibiotics

Results of the PCR we did last night

Standart PCR to amplify pflgA, pflgB and pflhB(Gel1)

PCR with gradient to amplify pflhDC(Gel2)

Transformations

Protocol

Use of TOP10 chemically competentcells

• Defroze competent cells on ice during 5'
• Add 5µl of DNA Ligation in 50µL of competent bacterias (or 1µL for the positive control puc19)
• Incubate 30' on ice
• Heat-shock the cells during 30" at 42°C without shaking
• Put 2' on ice
• Add 250µL of pre-warmed SOC medium (4°C)
• Incubate 1h at 37°C under shaking (225rpm)
• Spin at 5.000rpm during 30"
• Remove 150µL of supernatant
• Resuspent the pellet in the 150µL left
• Spread on adequated plates
• Incubate O/N at 37°C

List of the Ligation Transformation

PCR Screening of Ligation Transformants of 1st August

Use of 8 clones of Ligation transformants for screening PCR

Protocol of screening PCR

• Mix

• 50µl of Mix PCR by tube/clone
• one toothpick of each clone's colony by tube
• Program : Annealing 55°C - Time élongation 1'30" - Number cycle : 29

Conditions of electrophoresis

• 10µl of ladder 1 kb
• 10µl of screening PCR
• migration ~30min at 100W on 1% gel
