  • Set up PCR for four fragments of the nah operon as well as the pBMT-1 backbone, using primers designed to mutate cut-sites concurrently with Gibson Assembly. Also set up a PCR for the entire nah operon. Due to length of the fragments, a longer extension time was chosen.
  • If Gibson Assembly fails, but we are able to PCR the entire 10kb nah operon, an alternate method of mutation using three sequential site-directed mutageneses will be pursued.

  • PCR only amplified nah1, nah3, and nah4 - longer fragments (nah2, the full nah operon, and pBMT-1) were not identified on the PCR product gel. Set up another PCR with shorter extension time.

  • PCR of four out of five products visible on gel. Set up PCR of pBMT-1, final fragment required for Gibson Assembly of the nah operon.
