Overnight cultures of B. subtilis 168 for chromosomal DNA extraction

The rocF coding sequence is to be taken from the B. subtilis 168 genome by PCR. Before we can do this we need to extract 168 chromosomal DNA.

Today we plated up overnight cultures of B. subtilis 168 so that we can do chromosome extraction tomorrow.

Colony PCR of Genomic DNA

Aim:

To determine whether the genes have been inserted into the plasmid of B. subtilis 168.

Materials:

  • Pipette
  • Microfuge
  • Microtubes
  • Distilled H2O
  • Nucleotide DNTP
  • 5x GoTaq buffer
  • Template DNA (B. Subtilis ATCC 6633, 1:1 and 1:2)
  • Forward and reverse primers

Protocol:

  • For the full protocol, please refer to Colony PCR in Protocol List.

Conditions in ThermoCycler:

  • Melting temperature, Tm used for Anneal step is 59°C.

Results:

Gel electrophoresis will be run tomorrow to determine the results.

Conclusion:

Please refer to Lab book dated 27.7.2010.
