Subtilin Immunity BioBrick
Aims
Overnight cultures of all the colonies from the 'SI 1/9/10' plates was carried out today.
Methods
The Growing Overnight Cultures protocol was followed. The colonies were grown on LB with chloramphenicol. Altogether 16 colonies were produced on the plates and were left overnight at 37°C.
Sucrose/Levan's glue
The sucrose cultures and controls were compared. The cultures grown on sucrose should be considerably thicker. The overnight cultures of the different strains were also grown on solid agar plates with and without sucrose.

Hyperspankoid characterisation
Aims
The aim of these experiments is to ligate the promoters hyperspankoid, pspacoid and hyperspank in front of RFP of the pSB1C3 plasmid. In order to do this, the first step is to amplify the three promoter sequences and the pSB1C3 plasmid using Phusion PCR and the different primers and template DNA.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to Phusion PCR for Phusion PCR protocol.
The details for the four PCR reactions are included in the table below:
Tube | Part to be amplified | DNA fragment consisting the part | Forward primer | Reverse Primer | Melting Temperature (Tm in °C) | Size of the fragment (in bp) | Extension time* (in seconds) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Hyperspankoid | Prom_for | HpSpanPspacoid_rev | 53.3 (53) | 2046 + | 70 | |
2 | Pspacoid | Prom_for | HpSpanPspacoid_rev | 51.7 (51) | 139 + | 15 | |
3 | Hyperspank | Prom_for | Pspac-hy rev | 53.0 (53) | 2753 + | 110 | |
4 | Plasmid | vector pSB1C3/RFP | Vector/RFP_for | P2-V1 | 50.9 (51) | 116 + | 15 |
Table 2: This table shows the four different Phusion PCR reactions that were carried out today. If this is successful, the four parts will be ligated together for the construction of subtilin immunity BioBrick with the help of Gibson Cloning method.
- The extension rate of the Phusion polymerase is 1 Kb/ 30 seconds. Thus the extension time of each and every PCR reaction is slightly different.
