1. Solubilization of antibiotics.
- for Ampicillin(Amp): add 1.0g Amp to 20ml MilliQ (final concentration is 50mg/ml).
- for Kanamycin(kan): add 0.5g Kan to 10ml MilliQ (final concentration is 50mg/ml).
- Dispense 1.1ml of the solution into 1.5ml tubes.
- Store in the freezer (-20℃).
2. Making plates for LB (Amp+) and LB (Kan+).

- "1-18-C" means well 18C in [http://partsregistry.org/Help:Spring_2010_DNA_distribution Spring 2010 DNA Distribution Kit] Plate 1.
- Discussion
- A vector of "pSB4K5" is Kanamycin-resistance, however, we plated it to LB plate (Ampicillin+).
- And We didn't pre-culture "B0015" despite its vector is Kanamycin-resistance.
- So, it was predicted that we will fail the transformation of "pSB4K5" and "B0015".

1. Electrophoresis of the PCR products for 40min.
- Discussion
- Length of S and S-R-Rz/Rz1 is 370bp, 1300bp, so PCR succeeded.

<partinfo>B0015</partinfo> | -
|
- Discussion
- We lost <partinfo>B0015</partinfo> by our mistake.
- The concentration of <partinfo>pSB4K5</partinfo> is high, so this condition of shaking incubation is moderate.
2. Picked up 1, 3, 5, 7 of the products of PCR, and purified by PCR-purification.
Sample | Concentration (ng/µl) | New Name |
|
1 | 18.6 | -

- Discussion
- The concentration of sample number 1 and 5, the PCR products of S-R-Rz/Rz1, is week, so we desided to retry PCR.

5. Electrophoresis of above sample for 35min.
- Discussion
- Comparison to sample 5(control, circular DNA), the bands of sample 1, 2, 3, 4 was shifted. The DNA of sample 1, 2, 3, 4 was linearized by Restriction enzymes. So, our restriction enzymes work correctly.
6. To insert S gene to GFP, we digested the PCR products of S gene by EcoRi and SpeI, and GFP by EcoRl and XbaI.
Sample | 10×Buffer | Enzyme 1 | Enzyme 2 | MilliQ | Total | Incubation
