Andreas

Assembly of new parts

Transformation results

Good (white) colony yield on all plates. Picked 4 from each for colony PCR.

Colony PCR

• pSB1K3.N-TAT⋅SOD⋅His: TAT.SH 1-4
• pSB1K3.N-Tra10⋅SOD⋅His: Tra10 SH 1-4
• pSB1A2.RBS.yCCS: RBS.y 1-4
• pEX.SOD 1-4

Controls

• pEX.RFP
• pSB1A2.RBS
• pSB1C3.SOD
• pEX.SOD⋅His
• pSB1C3.SOD⋅His

Standard colony PCR settings

• Elongation: 1:20

Gel verification

Gel 1

1 % agarose, 90 V

Expected bands

• pSB1K3.N-TAT⋅SOD⋅His: 854 bp
• pSB1K3.N-Tra10⋅SOD⋅His: 884 bp
• pSB1C3.SOD⋅His: 815 bp

Results
Very unclear gel. Ladders are impossible to read. Two N-Tra10 clones (Tra10 SH1 and 2) seem to have migrated slightly slower than the SOD⋅His control, which may be a sign of successful insertion of Tra10. PCR samples will be analyzed again tomorrow.

Gel 2

1 % agarose, 90 V

Expected bands

• pSB1A2.RBS.yCCS: 1018 bp
• pSB1A2.RBS: 250 bp

Results
All bands at 250 bp, clearly showing that insertion of yCCS was unsuccessful. Incomplete digestion of pSB1A2.RBS with SpeI and PstI might be the cause of problem.

Gel 3

1 % agarose, 90 V

Expected bands

• pEX.SOD: 678 bp
• pEX.RFP: 1385 bp
• pEX.SOD⋅His: 702 bp

Results
No pEX.SOD bands whatsoever, probably due to lack of template in PCR tubes. Will re-run colony PCR tomorrow.
