Research

We initiated our research on subtilin quorum sensing system which would provide a coordinated cell response.

-*To use PCR to extract ''lacI'' (promoter, ribosome-binding site (RBS) & coding sequence (CDS)) from plasmid pMutin4 and ligate into vector pSB1AT3 in front of red fluorescent protein (RFP).

-*The aim of today's experiment is to '''screen for the lacI insert'''. This could be done using PCR but that would require specific primers and is not as reliable. The experiment is being repeated from yesterday as there are extra bandings
-==Protocol==
-#Miniprep - the [[Team:Newcastle/Qiagen_Minipreps|miniprep]] protocol was followed.
-#Restriction digests - the [[Team:Newcastle/Restriction_digests| restriction digest]] protocol was followed.
-#*Single digest with Pst1
-#*double digests with Pst1 and Xba1
-#Gel electrophoresis
-Set up liquid broth culture in 5 ml of LB - 1 colony from colonies 1-7
