Alkane Sensing, Solvent Tolerance and Salt Tolerance

by Pieter

The plates containing yesterday's ligations contained colonies, to check whether they really contain the desired BioBrick a colony PCR was done, and the used colonies were grown in liquid LB medium over night. The results from the PCR were analysed on a 1% agarose gel.

Alkane degradation

For the next step in BioBrick formation a digestion was done: Digestion Some BioBricks are in production. Digestion reactions:

#	Sample	Enzyme 1	Enzyme 2	Enzyme 3	Buffer	BSA	Needed fragment
1	1 μg 007T	EcoRI	SpeI	BamH1	2 (Biolabs)	✓	‘E – J61100-AlkB2 – S’
2	1 μg 008A	EcoRI	XbaI		2 (Biolabs)	✓	‘E – J61100-rubA3 – X’
