  • Results of ON measurements: The graph shows the GFP intensities over time for the different supernatants and one AI-1 concentration (c = 1 nM). The GFP induction is much lower for the supernatants in comparison to the AI-1. Other tests with lower AI-1 concentration have to be performed to determine the AI-1 production rate.

  • Digestion with DpnI (NEB) of the third mutagenesis to cut parental plasmid: Added 1 µl of DpnI to the finished Mutagenesis PCR. DpnI cuts at methylated GATC sites, so that only parental plasmids without the mutation are cutted. 2 h 35 min -> 37 °C
  • Controlgel of third Mutagenesis (PstI_2): 1 % Agarose, 135 V, 30 min; DNA only visible in products from the colonie 1 (1.14 and 1.16) -> probably the mutagenesis worked on this plasmid.

  • PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen) to purify the plasmids. Eluated in 35 µl H2O
  • Transformation of prior mutagenesis: 5 µl per 100 µl E. coli TOP 10 competent cells
- start thawing 100 µl competent E. coli TOP 10 cells on crushed ice
- add 5 µl ligation
- incubate on ice for 20 minutes
- heat shock at 42 °C for 45 sec
- incubate 2 min on ice
- add 400 µl preheated LB media
- incubate at 37 °C for 1 h, 500 rpm
- Plate 500 µl on preheated LB-Amp plate
- incubate overnight
