Levan glue

We started working on levan. For this we used agar plates containing 10% sucrose and Bacillus subtilis 168 was grown onto that medium. The sucrose cultures and controls were compared. The cultures grown on sucrose should be considerably thicker.

The overnight cultures of the different strains were also grown on solid agar plates with and without sucrose. For more information levan, please refer to: levan.

-==Aims==
+We started working on levan. For this we used agar plates containing 10% sucrose and ''Bacillus subtilis'' 168 was grown onto that medium. The sucrose cultures and controls were compared. The cultures grown on sucrose should be considerably thicker.
-The aim of the experiment is to test for the correct integration of ''yne''A in pGFPrrnb plasmid.
+The overnight cultures of the different strains were also grown on solid agar plates with and without sucrose.

+'''Image 1''': Image showing ''B. subtilis'' producing levan on agar plate containing 10% sucrose.
-#Please refer to:[[Team:Newcastle/Restriction_digests|Restriction digest]]. We used Nhe1 and Spe1 to remove the ''yneA'' from pGFP-rrnB.
-#Please refer to:[[Team:Newcastle/Gel_electrophoresis| Gel electrophoresis]] for running all the digested plasmid fragments.

-==Conclusion==
-The results show that the digest works, there is a band at approximately 541bp corresponding to ''yneA'' and a band at approximately 8.4kbp corresponding to pGFPrrnb in lanes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12.
