    • 25 µL GFP construct/RFP construct/pCK01 plasmid

1 µL EcoRI

1 µL PstI

3 µL EcoRI buffer

 

→ 2 h at 37°C

→ pCK01 digest was heat-inactivated for 20 min at 80°C

 

  • run gel to confirm digest 1 h

    • 0.8 % agarose gel:

lane 1 (large!) + 2: 26 µL RFP digest + 6 µL loading buffer (LB)

lane 3: 4 µL RFP digest + 2 µL LB

lane 4: 2.5 µL λ marker + 2 µL LB

lane 5 (large!): 26 µL GFP digest + 6 µL LB

lane 6: 4 µL GFP digest + 2 µL LB

 

→ run at 90 V for ca. 1 h

lanes 3/4 and lane 6 cut out and put in EtBr for ca. 30 min

 

pics (4 s exposure) saved under GFP_RFP_restr

 

  • cut out GFP/RFP bands, recover DNA 1 h

    • RFP showed 2 bands: one at ca. 1000 bp and one higher

(ca. 1000 bp + higher expected)

    • GFP showed 3 bands: one at ca. 1000 bp, one higher and one lower

(ca. 500, 1000 and 2200 bp expected)

 

→ bands at 1000 bp were cut out (ca. 250 mg)

 

    • gel extraction was performed according to protocol:

750 µL of buffer QG

250 µL isopropanol

elution with 30 µL EB buffer (wait 1 min before elution!)

Day 12: Tuesday, 29 July

    Results from electroporation from 28.7.08


  • control strains (transformation with pUCP26) are grown: => electroporation has been successful

  • Tryptophan-Color-Test: positive ! addition of Kovac's Regent for indoles stayed yellow, and didnt turn red. Therefore TnaA is inactive, probably by insertion of RFP-cat.
  • Fluorescence microscopy: clearly moving particles were visible under LM, some red dots under FM


  • Inoculation of O/N culture in 5 ml LB with Chloramphenicol. 
  • Incubation of Backup plates from the one colony found in 37C oven.
