  • Purification of the bands gained form gel electrophoresis (Promega-Kit)
  • Nanodrop measurements of the purified products:
(1) : 8.3 ng/µl 260/280=1.94
(2) : 8.9 ng/µl 260/280=1.80

week 2 (28.05.-01.06.12)

  • Purified products from 1. week were ligated into pSB1A2 and subsequently transformed into DH5α (in spite of low concentration)
  • Overnight incubation on LB agar plates; no growth detectable
  • Second approach to isolate the five genes from Comamonas t. using colony-PCR
  • Analysis of PCR products by agarose gel electrohporesis; without results; modification of the PCR protocols: adding DMSO
  • Third approach to isolate the five genes from Comamonas t. by colony-PCR
  • PCR product purification using the Promega-Kit: ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808005 tctB 197aa] (2), [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808002 tctA_503aa] (3), [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808003 tctB 162aa] (4), [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808001 tphC 322aa] (5))

(1): no PCR-product
  • Nanodrop measurements of the purified PCR products:

week 3 (04.-08.06.12)

  • Restriction digest of the purified PCR products and of [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808004 tctA 505aa] (leftover of the 1. week) by SpeI and EcoRI
  • Restriction restriction digest of pSB1A2 using SpeI and EcoRI
  • Dephosphorylation of the restriction reactions by using antarctic Phosphatase
  • Ligation of the five genes into pSB1A2 and subsequently transformation into DH5α (incubation at 37°C)
  • colony-PCR of [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K808004 tctA 505aa] (1), 2 approaches
  • Analysis of PCR products by agarose gel electrohporesis. Only one of them showed the expected band. The band was excluded and purified via the Promega-Kit.

  • Nanodrop measurement of the purified product:
(1.1) =8.9 ng/µl 260/280=2,22
Because of low concentration and contamination the PCR was repeated and the product was purified again by the Promega-Kit.
  • Performing a colony-PCR-screen of the transformed cells using the Taq-Polymerase. Verification of 4 colonies per plate.
PCR did not work
  • Testing the Taq-Polymerase for function. The Phu-Polymerase was used for comparison. Only the approach using the Phu-Polymerase showed the expected bands in agarose gel electrohporesis.

  • Screening was repeated with Phu-Polymerase; no bands visible

week 4 (11.-15-06.12)

  • Inoculation of LB-media with DH5α_pSB1A2 and DH5α_pSB1C3; overnight incubation at 37°C
  • Miniprep of DH5α_pSB1A2 and DH5α_pSB1C3 using the Promega-Kit
  • Nanodrop measurements of the preparation:
pSB1A2 : 136.1 ng/µl 260/280= 1.93
pSB1C3 : 265.1 ng/µl 260/280= 1.89
