Gel extraction of amplified plasmid pSB1C3 for rocF
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to perform gel extraction of the band containing the amplified fragment of the plasmid vector pSB1C3.
Materials and Protocol
Please refer to: Gel extraction.
Result
For plasmid vector pSB1C3, we used 1.5% agarose gel and run the gel on 80 Volts for better resolution. We used 1Kb DNA ladder (Promega) for the gel containing plasmid vector.

Size of the Fragment (in bp) | 2072 approx. |
Table 1: Table represents the size of the plasmid vector pSB1C3 represented as bands on the gel.
- Weight of gel 0.3g, nanodrop value 27.3ng/microL
- Weight of gel 0.4g, nanodrop value 21.6ng/microL
Discussion
We found a band of the appropriate size and cut it out and placed the part of the gel in a 2ml eppendorf tube.
Conclusion
Gel electrophoresis was successful and we did gel extraction of the fragment containing plasmid pSB1C3.
Natto
Aims
we aimed to rehydrate and plate the natto strain for this we required pennassay medium. AKA Antibiotic assay medium 3 so no need for the bovril!
Materials
Pennassay medium:
- Pennassay broth 17.5g
- Glucose 20g
- 0.05g
- Distilled water 1000ml
Pennassay broth(per l of water):
- peptone 10g
- Yeast extract 1.5g
- Sodium chloride 3.5g
- Glucose 1.0g
- Potassium phosphate dibasic 3.68g
- Potassium phospahte monobasic 1.32g
- Beef extract 1.5g
