Project

August

week 31 week 32 week 33 week 34 week 35

Week 31: July 30th to August 05th

Goal of the week:

We wanted to recover and amplify some biobricks involved in our genetic networks :
  • pSB4C5 (2400bp)
  • pompC (100bp)
  • mcherry (900bp)
  • eCFP (800bp)
  • GFP (100bp)

Tuesday, July 31th:

We did a miniprep (protocol kit: Nucleospin plasmid Quick Pure) on the transformed strain with pSB4C5, on which we wanted to recover pSB4C5.

We did some colony PCRs (on 12/07/25 colony) and PCrs on miniprep with HF Phusion enzyme (protocol) in order to amplify pSB4C5.
Annealing temperature = 60°C.

To separate the PCR products, we prepared a 1.8% TAE agarose gel.
Migration conditions = 100V during 30 min.
In order to reveal the DNA fragments, we used EtBr.

We only saw primer dimer bands, there was a PCR condition problem.

We did some PCRs on miniprep with HF Phusion enzyme (protocol) in order to amplify pSB4C5. Annealing temperature = 65°C.

We did some digestions (protocol) on miniprep in order to do the construction: pAra/Bad_RBS_GFP_RBS_Cya. The digestions were achieved with two restriction enzymes : XbaI and SpeI during 10 minutes.

To separate the PCR products and the digestion products, we prepared a 1.8% TAE agarose gel.
Migration conditions = 100V during 30 min.
In order to reveal the DNA fragments, we used EtBr.

For the PCR results, we only saw primer dimer bands, there was a PCR condition problem.
The digestion worked well, we realised a DNA extraction (protocol kit: Nucleospin extract II) from the two digestion products (code = 120731AM_DIG_024).

Wednesday, August 01st:

We did a touchdown PCR (from 70°C to 60°C) from miniprep with HF Phusion enzyme (protocol) in order to amplify pSB4C5.

To separate the PCR products and the digestion products, we prepared a 1.8% TAE agarose gel.
Migration conditions = 100V during 30 min.
In order to reveal the DNA fragments, we used EtBr.
