Gel exlectrophoresis for single digestion of pSB1C3
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to check if the digestion from yesterday worked.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to gel electrophoresis for protocol.
Results
The result from gel electrophoresis:
Figure 1 shows the double digest of 12 tubes of pGFPrrnB and yneA.
- Lane 1: Vector only
- Lane 2: Tube 1
- Lane 3: Tube 2
- Lane 4: Tube 3
- Lane 5: Tube 4
- Lane 6: Tube 5
- Lane 7: Tube 6
- Lane 8: Tube 7
- Lane 9: Tube 8
- Lane 10: Tube 9
- Lane 11: Tube 10
- Lane 12: Tube 11
- Lane 13: Tube 12
Discussion
The bands we got from the gel shows that digestion in tubes 1, 2, 4, 10, 11 and 12 worked.
Conclusion
We use the digested products from the six tubes that worked for ligation.
Overnight culture for transformation of B. subtilis with yneA
Aim
To transform yneA into competent B. subtilis.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to transformation of B. subtilis.
Results and Conclusion
Please refer to results in tomorrow's lab book.
PCR
Aim
To amplify the DNA pSB1C3 using RocF primer.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to PCR.
Conclusion
Continue with PCR purification.
PCR Purification
Aim
To remove unwanted primers, taq polymerase, buffer and salts to obtain pure DNA.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to PCR purification.
Digestion
Aim
To digest the PCR products of pSB1C3 and yneA from PCR purification.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to restriction digest.
Gel extraction
Aim
To purify the DNA of yneA and pSB1C3 by extracting the bands from the gel after running gel electrophoresis. Concentration of DNA is then checked with NanoDrop.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to:
Results
The bands we got from gel electrophoresis is very faint.
Conclusion
We realized that we used the wrong rocF primer, so we repeat the whole procedure from PCR again.
Restriction digestion and gel extraction linearized pSB1C3
Aims
The aim of this experiment is to digested the plasmid pSB1C3 with the restriction enzyme HindIII to linearize it and and to perform gel extraction to purify it.
Materials and protocol
Please refer to the:
- gel electrophoresis,
- gel extraction and
- NanoDrop spectrophotometer protocols.
Results
- Lane 1: 1 Kb ladder
- Lane 2: Linearized plasmid pSB1C3
- Lane 3: 1 Kb ladder
There is no gel photograph because we want to keep the exposure of DNA to the UV light to an absolute minimum.
Discussion
During gel extraction procedure, we found a bright band of approx During gel extraction procedure, we found a bright band of approximately 3100 bp size in lane 2 under UV light and we cut the gel and extracted the band.
Conclusion
We got linearized plasmid pSB1C3 and we performed gel extraction successfully and the nanodrop protocol showed that we got 12.7 ng/µl concentration of plasmid.
