July 9th

pT7 + RBS (3A Assembly) and Ag43 + dT (standard assembly) of ligation products were transformed and incubated. We confirmed ideal insert DNA (pT7 and RBS or Ag43 and dT) were inserted by colony PCR.

Colony PCR

Colony PCR for assembly products.

  1. Picked up colony from LB plates by Autoclaved toothpicks.
  2. Re-suspension into 10 ul DW in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes.
  3. 4 ul was added in PCR reaction solution, and 6 ul was mixed with 200 ul LB.
  4. Ran PCR machine in recipe below.

We couldn't confirm insert DNA were really ligated with Vector or not. Next step, we tried confirmation of insert DNA by electrophoresis of extracted plasmids. For plasmid extraction, we needed to incubate in liquid culture.

Incubate for plasmid extraction

  1. Prepared 1800 ul LB solutions.
  2. Mixed 200 ul of cultures (suspention were incubated for 2 hrs) and antibiotics(Km (pT7-rbs on pSB1K3), Amp(Ag43-dT on pSB1AK3)).
  3. Incubated for 15 hrs and 30 min.

July 10th

Plasmid extraction

Extracted plasmids from some colonies (we selected colonies which showed more correct bands than other colonies, pT7+RBS were No. 4, 5, 9, 10 colonies and Ag43 + dT were No. 1, 2, 3, 4 colonies)incubated in LBA(Ag43 + dT) and LBK(pT7 + RBS) for 15 hrs and 30 min.

  1. Extracted from LB culturing products by using FastGene Plasmid Mini kit(Nippon Genetics).
  2. Electrophoresis (Used pre-migrated 1% agarose gels with 5 ul EtBr)in 30 min.
