and than digested as follows for four hours:

Two medium gel were prepared and samples were loaded and gel run/cut.

Vectors digested and gel run/cut
Inserts digested and gel run/cut

All samples were correctly digested and run; both I20M-1 and I20A-1 are positive, so we decided to use I20M-1; this new screening for I21-4 showed again that it's correct.

Gel extraction gave these results:

  • I0 (E-X): 20,8 ng/ul
  • <partinfo>BB_F2620</partinfo> (E-S): 13,5 ng/ul
  • INTEIN (E-S): 6,5 ng/ul
  • <partinfo>BB_B0034</partinfo> (E-X): 23,2 ng/ul
  • I20M-1 (E-S): 7,4 ng/ul
  • <partinfo>BB_J13002</partinfo> (S-P): 12,5 ng/ul
  • I21-4 (E-S): 7,2 ng/ul
  • I21-4 (E-X): 24,7 ng/ul
  • <partinfo>BBa_K105012</partinfo> (E-X): 23,1 ng/ul
  • I26 (E-S): 3,4 ng/ul
  • I20M-1 (X-P): 6,5 ng/ul

They were stored ON at -20°C.

Finally were performed the following ligations:

  • I31: I20M-1 (E-S) + <partinfo>BBa_K105012</partinfo> (E-X)
  • I32: I20M-1 (E-S) + I21-4 (E-X)

  • I40: I26 (E-S) + INTEIN (E-X)
  • I41: I26 (E-S) + I0 (E-X)

August, 20th

Ligations of previous day were transformed (1 ul) into 100 ul of home-made competent cells 'E. coli DH5-alpha. They were than plated on LB+Amp agar plates and incubated ON at 37°C.


Colony PCR was performed for MyCRIM (9 colonies), 1 blank, 1 negative control (I5(X-S)), 1 positive control (MrGene CRIM from plate).

Screening PCR: MyCRIM (first 9 samples), ladder, blank, RING, CRIM from MrGene.


Tecan Test

August, 21st

Plates with ligations I31..I41 were stored at +4°C. Colonies would have been screened ASAP.


Glycerol stocks and miniprep for MyCrim 1:9. Quantifications:

CultureQuantification (ng/ul)
MyCRIM 1 59
MyCRIM 2 145
MyCRIM 3 108
MyCRIM 4 125
MyCRIM 5 65
MyCRIM 6 72
MyCRIM 7 97
MyCRIM 8 127
MyCRIM 9 151

Digestions were preformed to screen the direction of the fragment CAT-TT-ORI:

DNA Buffer B H2O EcoRI HindIII
2 ul 2.5 ul 18.5 ul 1 ul 1 ul


Screening digestions: MyCRIM (from 1 to 9).


The fragments length confirm us that all the samples has the CAT-TT-ORI fragment ligated in reversed way.
