K346007(Ag43) was 5190bp before digestion (Biobrick prefix + Ag43 + Biobrick suffix + pSB1C3). After digestion, Ag43 and pSB1C3 was separated and became fragments about 3120bp(Ag43) and 2070bp(pSB1C3). Gel image above shows there are two fragments, one fragment is about 2000bp other fragment is 3000bp. Digestion would be succeeded. About Vector(Boo15:dT), the DNA was circular so DNA migrated more far than Linear DNA. d+ (Circular DNA) migrated little more far than d- (Linear DNA). so we think digestion was succeeded.


Ethanol precipitation

Ethanol precipitation for gel extraction products(K346007(Ag43) and B0015(dT))

  1. Added 5ul of NaoAc , 1.5ul of glycogen and 125ul of 100% ethanol to 50ul DNA solutions.
  2. Centrifuged in 15000rpm, 10min at 4C.
  3. Remove supernatant and added 220ul of 70% ethanol.

  6. Cultivated.

  • 9th

pT7 + RBS (3A Assembly) and Ag43 + dT (standard assembly) ligation products were transformed and cultivated then some colonies were formed (12~16 colonies) so we confirmed really insert DNA (3A:pT7 and RBS, standard:Ag43 and dT) were inserted to vector or not by colony PCR.

Colony PCR

Colony PCR for assembly products.Each product reacted recipes written below.

  1. picked up each 12(16 is best but there were only 12 colonies) colonies from LB plates by Autoclaved toothpicks.
  2. Dipped into 10ul DW in 1.5ml eppendorf tubes.
  3. from 10ul DW, 4ul was added in PCR reaction solution (below), 6ul was mixed with 200ul LB.
  4. Ran PCR machine in recipe below.
  5. Electrophoresis for confirmation of PCR results.

We couldn't confirm insert DNA were really ligated with Vector or not. Next we tried confirmation of insert DNA by Electrophoresis of mini-prep products. For mini-prep, we needed do liquid culture.


Liquid culturing

Liquid culture for mini-prep((pT7 + RBS) on pSB1K3 and (Ag43 + dT) on pSB1AK3).

  1. Prepared 1800ul LB solutions.
  2. To these LB solutions, added 200ul of LB solutions (colony PCR solutions were pre-cultivated in about 2hrs) and each antibiotics(Km (for (pT7 + RBS) on pSB1K3) and Amp(for (Ag43 + dT) on pSB1AK3)).
  3. Cultivated 15hrs30min.

Mini-prep

Mini-prep for some colonies (we selected colonies which showed more correct bands than other colonies, pT7+RBS were No.4, 5, 9, 10 colonies and Ag43 + dT were No.1, 2, 3, 4 colonies)cultivated in LBA(Ag43 + dT) and LBK(pT7 + RBS) in 15hrs 30min.

  1. Mini-prep for LB culturing products along the protocol of FastGene Plasmid Mini kit(Nippon Genetics).
  2. Electrophoresis (Used pre-migrated 1% agarose gels with 5ul EtBr)in 30min.
