  • comment:

successfully pcr back-RpaA and front-SasA; however they are too weak and we encountered a little bit of trouble doing overlap extension PCR

  • action:
    • gel extraction
    • re-design the primer of FP-in RpaA and RP-in SasA


Reporting assay

Date O.D.600 GFP expression Protocol & Comments
9/29 NYMU 20080929 od m9.jpg NYMU 0929GFPm.jpg
  • The M9 does not seems to have enough nutrition for E. coli to grow.

9/30 NYMU 20080930 od lb.jpg NYMU 0930GFPm.jpg * For the 3 hr measure, the plate was not washed carefully, so there is a large background.

Discussion of the reporting

  • Is the freshness of the bacteria important to GFP expression? If so, we should use freshly streaked plates.
  • The white and black plates must be cleaned carefully, otherwise there would be too much background.
  • pBF seemes to grow much faster than the others.
