  • 13 and 14 TouchDown PCR. PCR annealing program 54°C.



Tuesday:

  • PCR band recuperation

Name PCR Concentration [ng/µl] 1 and 2 psigEP -LuxCDEG 5.7

  • Digestion of colonies selected in colony PCR constructs C1.1 and C1.2 (Gibson assembly date: 08.01)

C1.1: Band from colony 8 is the right size. Construct succesfully assembled and will be sequenced to confirm. C1.2 : Wrong size (all colonies). Probably due to: the use of mRFP instead of RFP for the Gibson assembly.

  • Gibson results (assembly date: 08.03) and Colony PCR

C1.1: two positive colonies but were the wrong size. C1.2: several positive colonies but were the wrong size. Probably due to: the use of mRFP instead of RFP for the Gibson assembly. Pcaa3 BB: several colonies and with the right size. It will be digested. ADF 3: no colonies.

  • Miniprep and positive colonies digestion (Gibson assembly date: 08.03)

Colony Concentration [ng/µl] 1 52.4 2 45.8 5 38.3 10 62.9

  • Synechocystis PCC6803 transformation results (transformation date: 07.20)

Synechocystis did not grow. Probably due to: they die in the presence of glucose. Synechocystis were reinoculated and e. coli was transformed with psbAB+GFP to further transformation in synechocystis.

  • PCR run (59ºC)
