Wet Lab

  • Taq PCR trials of genomic sequences set up and results analysed on gel
  • Ligations of all available sequences into biobricks set up
A 1% Agarose gel showing the results of various PCR reactions. Each lane is loaded with 5ul of PCR reaction and 1ul of 6x sample buffer. M = Marker

Lane 1 - EpsE 5' IS primers, chromosome template, 52oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 2 - EpsE 5' IS primers, chromosome template, 50oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 3 - EpsE 5' IS primers, chromosome template, 48oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 4 - XylR primers, chromosome template, 50oC for 10 cycles then 60oC for 20 cycles

Lane 5 - XylR primers, chromosome template, 48oC for 10 cycles then 60oC for 20 cycles

Lane 6 - XylR primers, chromosome template, 46oC for 10 cycles then 60oC for 20 cycles

Lane 7 - EpsE 3' IS primers, chromosome template, 54oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 8 - EpsE 3' IS primers, chromosome template, 52oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 9 - EpsE 3' IS primers, chromosome template, 50oC for 10 cycles then 64oC for 20 cycles

Lane 10 - LacI insert (cut with XbaI and SpeI)

Lane 11 - pSB1AK3 vector (cut with XbaI and SpeI)

Conditions and timings were kept the same as the standard Taq protocol. Pfu PCR reactions using the optimal condiitons can now be set up to produce clones for use in our constructs. From the LacI and pSB1AK3 digests, it is now possible to decide how much of each is required in our ligation reaction
