・Electrophoresis of PCR products: before digestion of fdh4AB.
1. Put an agalose gel into the tank, and poured TBE buffer.
2. Mixed DNA samples : loading buffer = 9 : 1. Loaded samples into wells.
3. Electrophoresed, stopped when samples move 2/3.

・Gel extraction of fdh4AB 1. Excised the DNA fragment from an agarose gel. For each 100 mg of agarose gel added 200 μl Buffer NT.
2. Incubated sample for 5 – 10 minutes at 50 °C. Vortexed the sample briefly every 2 – 3 minuets until the gel slice was completely dissolved.
3. Placed a NucleoSpin Extract II Columu into a Collection Tube and loaded the sample. Centrifuged for 1 minute at 11,000 x g. Discarded flow-through and placed the column back into the collection tube.< Br> 4. Added 700 μl Buffer NT3 to the NucleoSpin Extact II Column. Centrifuged for 1 minute at 11,000 x g. Discarded flow-through and placed the column back into the collection tube.
