| - | We found that the PCR tube containing the ''spaIFEG'' gene did not have any band, even though another gel electrophoresis was performed (at 63°C). We decided to perform 5 different PCR reactions with 5 different PCR tubes with different Tms: 46°C, 51°C, 56°C, 61°C and 66°C - this is to check whether the missing band occured was due to the incorrect Tm. The 6th PCr tube is used as a control, which contains the ''ara'' forward and reverse primers - the Tm for this is 59°C, with the extention time of 15 seconds (which is specific for ''ara'' primers). | + | We found that the PCR tube containing the ''spaIFEG'' gene did not have any band, even though another gel electrophoresis was performed (at 63°C) again.

Discussion
Today we have colonies from our transformation yesterday. Overnight cultures will be done for DNA extraction tomorrow.
Subtilin Immunity BioBrick
Aims
The aims for today are to perform gel electrophoresis again, and then gel extraction.
Materials and protocol
Please refer to the gel electrophoresis and the gel extraction protocols.

Discussion
We found that the PCR tube containing the spaIFEG gene did not have any band, even though another gel electrophoresis was performed (at 63°C) again. We decided to perform 5 different PCR reactions with 5 different PCR tubes with different Tms: 46°C, 51°C, 56°C, 61°C and 66°C - this is to check whether the missing band occured was due to the incorrect Tm. The 6th PCr tube is used as a control, which contains the ara forward and reverse primers - the Tm for this is 59°C, with the extention time of 15 seconds (which is specific for ara primers).
We have cut the Plasmid Vector, Promoter & RBS and Double terminator gel bands, following the gel extraction protocol.
