Start to apply high fidelity PCR due the construct are getting larger and the regular Taq polymerase may not perform as well as the Phusion Polymerase at this length. Based on the company´s manual, we calculated the

J1C3, J2C3 and J3C1 was picked to build the K4,K5,K6 based on the gelpictures from 27/8/2010. Therefore we do not proceed with the ligated J-construct from the 16/9 due we have good enough samples from August month

We had unsatisfied results with our colonies fluorescence measurement and we suspected that the LacI protein didn’t suppress the fluorescent protein enough. One possible explanation would that BB_P0412 contains BB_C0012 which is the coding region for the LacI protein were degraded too effectively by the LVA degradation tail. As a consequence the R0010, a LacI promoter suppressing the three plasmids flourescent expression, didn’t bind enough LacI and therefore you could detect some flourescence.

Since J-construct contains the BB_R0010 as well, the K4, K5 and K6 construction were postponed.

Therefore we switch the BB_C0012 to another LacI-coding sequence that excluded the degradation tail., called LacIB115 which is in psB1AK3. With the restriction enzymes ApaI and PstI , both restriction sites surround the LacI coding region for psB1AK3 and I-construct. Afterdigestion of both plamids, you run the gel and cut out the band with LacI (without the degradation tail and the I-construction backbone and assembly those two parts.
