Transformation of B.subtilis

  • In order to confirm the transformations of B.subtilis that were performed in the previous weeks, we have designed validation primers. These validation primers are complementary to regions flanking the amyE locus and as a results the PCR product size will reflect any inserted DNA within this region. Using these primers a single colony PCR was performed, (link to prorotcol for single colony PCR for verficication.
  • The results of this protocol are shown on figure 1 a 1% agarose gel. The lanes concerned are 1-4 and represent different annealing temperatures used, which were as follows:
    • 1-62 oC
    • 2-60 oC
    • 3-58 oC
    • 4-58 oC - Negative control - no DNA!!!
  • If integration of the pDR110 plasmid was efficient we should see a band at 5.5kb, and if it has failed we should see a band at 2.5kb. We do not see these bands. The reason for this is unknown and so we will carry out further experiments, firstly to validate the verification primers and secondly to validate the signle colony PCR technique. To do this we have used primers previuously shown to work in a single colony PCR protocol and used the verfification primers with purified genomic DNA which has also previously been shown to work as a template. The method and results for this will be posted tomorrow.

Testing of Primers

  • The following primers were tested today to confirm that they are working and if so the optimum annealing temperatures. The primers tested were the XylR and the EpsE 1 primers which were performed on purified genomic DNA. The protocol for this PCR reaction was following the standard protocol for PCR, click here
  • The results of this protocol are shown on figure 1 a 1% agarose gel. The lanes concerned are 1-4 and represent different annealing temperatures used, which were as follows:
    • 5-51 oC - XylR
    • 6-49 oC - XylR
    • 7-47 oC - XylR
    • 8-46 oC - XylR
    • 9-46 oC - Negative control - no DNA!!!
    • 10-50 oC - AmyE 1 positive control as previously shown to work.
    • 11-53 oC - EspE1
    • 12-51 oC - EspE1
    • 13-49 oC - EspE1
    • 14-47 oC - EspE1
    • 15-47 oC - Negative control - no DNA!!!
    • 16-51 oC - AmyE 1 positive control as previously shown to work.


Results

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.
