Here again a certain diversity in the growth rate could be observed. Whereas some cultures had already reached and optical density of 0.8, others were still at merely 0.04.Here again <i>fliC</i> featured a low density, this time in all strains and DH10B and BL21 show a general decreased growth rate. Striking is the fact that the strains that featured the best motility as well as the construct that seems to have the biggest influence show decreased division rate. Whether this phenomenon is a coincidence or not we are not sure about yet.

At the following day (26th of July) as well as the day after (27th of July) the colonies still looked exactly the same. Neither chemotaxis nor swimming could observed. Almost a weak later (30th of July) still no swimming or chemotaxis had taken place, solely growth. However, the two colonies that had been applied into the agar not onto featured little swimming. Nevertheless, also these results are lousy considering the long time span.  (</li>

-
<li>Experiment:  <br>
 
-
In order to clone the <i>flhDC</i>-promoter constructs into pSB1C3, all components were digested with EcoRI and PstI according to the protocol. The restriction products were subsequently separated on a gel in order to verify the digestions success and purify the desired fragments. </li>

<li>Observations & Results: <br>

The gel did not feature fragments of the expected size.Obviously, something was wrong with the digestion. </li>

<li>Experiment: <br>
 
-
To give it a last try the <i>fliC</i> (DH10B), <i>fliC</i> (<i>Salmonella</i>), <i>motA</i>, <i>motB</i> and <i>yhjH</i> were amplified by Pfu-Polymerase according to the following protocol one last time. Here again, a 1% agarose gel was prepared to investigate the PCRs outcome.</li>
 
-
<li>Observations & Results: <br>
 
-
The gel of the PCR delivered the same picture as last time. No band could be observed except for the marker. Even the positive control does not work. Thus, we decided to buy a new polymerase.</li>

The genes <i>fliC</i> (DH10B), <i>fliC</i> (<i>Salmonella</i>), <i>motA</i>, <i>motB</i> and <i>yhjH</i> were amplified by Phusion-Polymerase according to the following protocol.

Finally,the PCR was successful! We were able to receive bands of the expected size for each construct. Obviously, the old Pfu-polymerase was not functional anymore and had caused the PCRs failure. </li>
