Miniprep of the screened clones. Unfortunately, the gel electrophoresis was disappointing and the extracted plasmids did not contain the ligated genes.

The wells are carefully rinsed with M63 medium two times after having previously discarded the supernatant. Then, each well is inoculated with a saturated adherent <i>E. coli</i> strain diluted 100 times in LB medium diluted 2 times.</br>

Moreover, another 24-well plate assay was made using the same supernatant, but this time the plate was incubated only 4 hours before <i>E. coli</i> inoculation.

(For both) The supernatant is removed, wells are washed and LB is added.To see if <i>E coli</i> forms a biofilm over the <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilm, the overnight culture of <i>E coli</i> is added into each well.

Unfortunately, the observation of the plates under confocal microscope is not possible, so the experiment must be repeated. The only difference is that this time 12-well plates  with glass lamellae are used so the observation of the biofilm would be possible.
