  1. PCR of pgsB (repeat)
    • again, no product :(
  2. PCR of pgsB (4th attempt, including yesterday's)
    • no product
  3. Miniprep of 004, 005, 008, 009, 018, 019
  4. Restriction digest of 018 with EcoRI, SpeI; 019 with XbaI, PstI
  5. Gel electrophoresis of pgsA, 004, 005, 008, 009, 018, 019
    • apart from 018 & 019, all are parts digested before; used here to compare with new parts 018, 019
    • (RESULTS?)
    • problem with 019?
  6. PCR of pgsB 1st fragment (5th attempt)
    • (RESULTS?)
  7. PCR of pgsB - generation of 2nd fragment (170bp) for overlap extension
  8. PCR of pgsB - generation of 3rd fragment (1000bp) for overlap extension
  9. PCR: Phusion activity check using BglX as template & the primers that generated it
  10. PCR: pgsB template check using the outermost primers

September 20 (Mon)

  1. Transfer to solution culture: 004, 005, 006, 007, 008 ,009 ,019
  2. PCR: Phusion polymerase & template checks (repeat of 9/19?)
    • positive control (BglX) was amplified -> Phusion polymerase seems to be working ok
    • problem with template? primer? thermocycle settings?
  3. PCR: primer check
    • pair of primers for each overlap segment were tested
    • (RESULTS?) 
  4. Digestion of pgsA (PCR product) and 1-1C with EcoRI, PstI
  5. Ligation to make new part 020: pgsA as insert, 1-1C as vector
  6. Transformation of ligation product
  7. PCR of pgsB 1st fragment (n-th repeat??)
  • Note: MANY MANY rounds of PCR carried out today; due to time constraints they are not described here in detail

September 21 (Tue)

  1. Miniprep of yesterday's cultures: 004, 005, 006, 007, 008 ,009; 019 was discarded (turned red)
  2. Restriction digest of miniprepped parts with EcoRI, SpeI
  3. Gel electrophoresis of digested parts 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 019 (?)
    • 005 - OK
    • 014 - no band visible
    • 019 - bad length - repeat ligation
    • 006, 007 - bad lengths; repeat colony pick-up & culture?
  4. PCR to synthesize C-terminal half of pgsB (overlap extension method continued)
    • band of correct size obtained!
  5. PCR cloning of Man26B, CelB
    • gel run failed to turn up bands; repeat with lower annealing temp
    • repeat run succeeded!
  6. Inoculated YPD liquid culture medium with yeast
  7. New part 020 (contains pgsA) transferred to solution culture
  8. PCR of pgsB (final step - extension of overlapping fragments)
  9. Gel electrophoresis to extract PCR products (Man26, CelB) as well as 1-5A for plasmid backbone

September 22 (Wed)

  1. Gel electrophoresis of 1-5A, 1-3A, 1-1C, PCR product (pgsB) followed by extraction/purification
  2. Restriction digest of extracted parts with EcoRI, SpeI
  3. Miniprep of 020
  4. Restriction digest of 020 with XbaI, PstI (for gel run to check & further assembly)
  5. Restriction digest of pgsC, pgsA with EcoRI, SpeI
  6. Gel electrophoresis of all digested parts above
    • 020 was bad; repeat ligation?
  7. Transfer of 006, 007 to solution culture (pick up from new colonies?)
  8. Ligations
    • 019: pgsC (PCR product) into 1-1C vector
