Today we checked for transformants from the ''Bacillus subtilis'' transformation (with pMutin4) we performed yesterday.
-
+
-
===Aims===
+
-
The aim of these experiments is to ligate the promoters hyperspankoid, pspacoid and hyperspank in front of ''rfp'' on the pSB1C3 plasmid seperately. In order to do this, the first step is to amplify the three promoter sequences and the pSB1C3 plasmid using Phusion PCR.

===Materials and Protocol===

-
Please refer to [[Team:Newcastle/PCR#Phusion_PCR| Phusion PCR]] for Phusion PCR protocol.
