Sequencing was not successfull. It was discovered later, that there was a contamination of the DH5alpha cells with other plasmid-DNA, probably caused by Electroporation. Verlinkung Arne Due to this fact, the isolated plasmids were always mixed up with other plasmids, and sequencing had to fail. The contamination of the cells may have also caused false-positive results of the colony-PCRs.

We suggest that the cutinase FSC has an additional lipase-activity, which causes a lysis of the cell-membrane and may have an selective effect on FSC-negative mutants while cultivating the cells.

Trouble shooting

  • Diagnosis:
    • our bacterial transformation is done by Electroporation
    • therefor we use electroporation cuvettes, stored in DNA precipitating liquids like isopropanol or ethanol after being washed out.
    • long before we started these electroporation cuvettes were in use.
    • if not washed out carefully, DNA debris (like vectors and Inserts) accumulates in these storage liquids, due to precipitation
    • when an Electroporation is performed with one of these cuvettes, probably containing only little DNA debris, the cells get transformed with numbers of different precipitated plasmids
    • these plasmids contain a variety of resistances, reaching from CAM over KAN to Amp, allowing even "wrong" transformants to grow on selective media
    • after a short period of time, bacterial colonies start to seperate and repel their plasmids, selecting only the most "comfortables"
    • probably our plasmids, containing big genes on ligated vectors, are pushed out during this phase of selection
    • this slow decrease of plasmid could explain the missing second positive signal of Colony PCR
