No bands were found in any of the lanes. Yesterday, a faint band was found when the melting temperature was set at 65°C but today no band is found in lane 3 and lane 7.

The aim of this experiment is to run gel electrophoresis for the extracted and linearized plasmid pSB1C3 fragment which were amplified at 4 different melting temperatures by 4 separate PCR reactions and to put Ethidium Bromoide (EtBr) in the agarose gel instead of safeview die so as to get better resolution and brighter bands.

Please note that in this protocol we have made a minor modification which is that instead of adding 5µl of safeview dye, we have added 5µl of EtBr into the agarose gel so as to get better resolution and brighter bands.

-
* The extension rate of the Phusion polymerase is 1Kb/ 30 seconds. Thus the extension time of each and every PCR reaction is slightly different.

* For learning about the ''rocF'' fragments, please refer to the [[Media:Cloning_strategy_for_rocF.pdf|Cloning strategy for ''rocF'']].

-
All the 4 Phusion PCR reactions were done however, gel electrophoresis will be done later today, to check whether the fragments have actually amplified or not.

==Conclusion==
 
-
Today afternoon, we would be running gel electrophoresis to check the outcome of the 4 PCR reactions and later all the fragments will be ligated with help of Gibson protocol if the fragments have amplified.

Overnight cultures for miniprep of filamentous cell part in pGFP-rrnB

Aim

The aim of this experiment is to set up cultures for minipreps to obtain stock of the filamentous cell part in pGFP-rrnB for transformation into Bacillus subtilis 168. We selected 12 colonies for screening.

Materials and Protocol

Please refer to growing an overnight culture.
