Group: Flagella

Annealing of the two mutated strands of FlhDC

Experiment done by: Sheila

Date: July 19th

Protocol: CP1.1

Method: PCR of the two mutated strands of the FlhDC operon

Notes: To samples were run at two different temperatures: 56,1˚C and 64,5˚C respectively.
Polymerase used: Pfu
Primers used: None, as the two strands are supposed to anneal to each other

Results:

Gel extraction of flhD/C

Start date: 19/07 End date: 19/07
Methods: Gel extraction, nanodrop
Protocol:DE1.1
Experiment done by:Maria

Notes:
70uL of flhD/C PCR product from Amplification of flhD/C was loaded onto a 1.5 agarose gel and extracted according to protocol.
DNA was eluted in 20uL elution buffer.

Results:
Nanodrop:

Sample ID	ng/uL	260/280	260/230
flhDC 1	19.82	2.43	0.08
flhDC 2	25.24	2.22	0.12

Analysis:
Nanodrop measurements indicated a possible contamination. However the DNA was pooled and used for Digestion

Digestion of flhD/C and pSB1A2 with EcoRI SpeI

Start date: 19/07 End date: 19/07
Methods: Digestion, Gel electrophoresis
Protocol:RD1.1
Experiment done by:Maria

Notes:
purified pSB1C3 (tube 18 blue) and flhD/C from Gel extraction was digested with EcoRI and SpeI.
Restriction mixture:

	flhD/C	pSB1C3
H2O	30uL	24uL
EcoRI	4uL	2uL
SpeI	4uL	2uL
FD green buffer	8uL	4uL
DNA	38uL	10uL
total vol.	84	42

samples were loaded onto a 1.5 agarose gel. Gene ruler red were used as marker.

Results:
Gel electrophoresis:

Analysis:
In lane 2 containing pSB1C3 2 bands are detected indicating a succesful digestion of the plasmid (the band at 1000 bp corresponds to J04450). A succesful digestion of the flhD/C cannot be concluded from the gel. However both bands was excised and extracted from gel (Gel extraction)

Gel extraction of digested flhD/C and pSB1C3

Start date: 19/07 End date: 19/07
Methods: Gel extraction, nanodrop
Protocol:DE1.2
Experiment done by:Maria

Notes:
Digested flhD/C and pSB1C3 from Digestion were extracted from gel according to protocol.
DNA was eluted in 20uL H20.

Results:
Nanodrop:

Sample ID	ng/uL	260/280	260/230
flhD/C	18.18	4.59	0.18
pSB1C3	14.30	1.89	0.04

Analysis:
nanodrop measurements indicated contamination. However both samples were used for Ligation.

Ligation of flhD/C and pSB1C3

Start date: 19/07 End date: 20/07
Methods: Ligation
Protocol:LG1.2
Experiment done by:Maria

Notes:
3 ligation reactions was prepared.

	LG1	LG2	LG3
10x T4 ligase buffer	2uL	2uL	2uL
flhD/C	5uL	5uL	5uL
pSB1C3	1uL	2.8uL	5uL
H20	11uL	9.2uL	7uL
T4 ligase	1uL	1uL	1uL

Ligation mixtures were not run on gel but were directly used for transformation
surplus ligation mixture was stored at -20 degrees as L1, L2 and L3.

Transformation of K081005 in pSB1A2 (constitutive promoter and RBS combined),R0011 in pSB1A2, pSB3C5 w. J04450 and pSB3T5 w. J04450 in Top 10 E.Coli

Start date: 19/07 End date: 20/07
Methods: ON culture, making competent cells, transformation

Protocol:CC1.1 TR1.1

Experiment done by: Maria

Notes:ON colony was made of 110 ml lb medium inoculated with a top10 coloni.

Time	Optical density
8:12	2.9
8:17	0.02
9:17	0.035
10:17	0.204
10:40	0.380

pSB1A2 w. R0011 and pSB1A2 w. K081005 was plated with 150uL on plates containing LA, LA + Amp, LA + Tetracycline, LA + Chloramphenicol and LA + Kanamycine.Upconcentration of these samples was not made. pSB3T5 w. J04450 and pSB3C5 w. J04450 was plated according to protocol

Results:

Analysis:
Both pSB3T5 and pSB3C5 was succesfully transformed, and ON cultures with appropiate antibiotics were made for mini-prep.
For pSB1A2 w. R0011 only 6 colonies was observed on the LA+amp plate.
For pSB1A2 w. K081005 only 4 colonies was observed on the LA+amp plate.
All 10 colonies were used for Coloni PCR.
