Miniprep for pGFPrrnB with filamentous cell part
Aims
The aim of this experiment is to obtain stock of the filamentous cell part in pGFP-rrnB for transformation into Bacillus subtilis 168.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to qiagen minipreps and nanodrop spectrophotometer protocols.

Table 1: Nanodrop spectrophotometer results. Table represents the amount of plasmid present in µl/ml quantity.
Discussion
The concentration ranged from 286.1 µl/ml to 518.7 µl/ml. Therefore we have obtained high concentration of yneA in pGFPrrnB.
Single and Double Digestion of pGFPrrnB with yneA
Aims
The aim of this experiment is to check if the insert yneA has been inserted into vector pGFPrrnB.
Materials and Protocol
We are doing two digests for pGFPrrnB and yneA:
- Single digest with HindIII;
- Double digest with EcoRI and NheI.
Please refer to restriction digests and gel electrophoresis.
Discussion
Gel electrophoresis will be done on the 25th August, 2010.
Single digestion of pSB1C3
Aims
To linearise the vector pSB1C3. The linear vector will be used as a PCR template for Gibson cloning of the Subtilin immunity and rocF BioBricks.
Materials and Protocol
We are doing a single digest with HinDIII.
Please refer to restriction digests and gel electrophoresis.
Results
Gel electrophoresis results for digestion:

- Lane 1: 1 Kb ladder
- Lane 2: digested (linearised) pSB1C3
Discussion and Conclusion
The digestion was successful — the correct band was seen. We can proceed to gel extraction.
