Isolation of plasmids from cultures inoculated on previous day.
Control digest with SacI and BamHI (BamHI buffer).
Gel electrophoresis - proper clones found for both products of ligation.

Checking if OmpA_omega_ΔA_alpha gives ampicillin resistance

Piotr, Weronika

Inoculation OmpA_omega_ΔA_alpha from various IPTG concentrations (in mmol/mL) (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) into same IPTG concentrations, but with various ampicillin concentrations (in mmol/mL)(25, 50, 75, 100) in ratio: 1:50.

Measurement of bacterial culture growth (OD) in the evening:

ampicillin concentration (μg/mL):	IPTG concentration (mmol/mL):
ampicillin concentration (μg/mL):	0	0.1	0.25	0.5	0.75	1
25	1.558	1.469	1.587	1.49	1.566	1.311
50	1.425	1.435	1.524	1.055	0.920	0.935
75	1.09	0.989	1.447	0.971	0.951	0.992
100	0.09	0.685	1.378	1.078	0.977	0.992

Inoculation of OmpA_omega_ΔA_alpha into various IPTG concentrations: 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 mmol/mL (repetition is necessary)
