Main purpose

Who was in the lab

Kristian, Henrike, Gosia

Procedure

PCR (promoter library)

PCR to amplify USER fragments of the constitutive SPL, the constitutive reference promoter and the arabinose reference promoter.

Used 5% DMSO, 2 uL of mM MgCl2 and GC-buffer.

constitutive SPL

• template: pZA21::RFP
• primers: 52a, 52b1
• annealing temp: 58.1C
• elongation time: 3:00

constitutive reference

• template: pZA21::RFP
• primers: 52a, 52b2
• annealing temp: 58.1C
• elongation time: 3:00

Wanted to make negative for the two above reactions but accidentally put the template in the master mix.

arabinose reference

• template: pZA21:araBAD:RFP (labeled Ara)
• primers: 51a,51b1
• annealing temp: 60.3C
• elongation time: 4:00

program (used for all 3 reactions)

PCR Nir2

PCR to gain a bigger amount of the extraction fragment of Nir2

Gel purification

Gel purified araBAD SPL from yesterdays screening PCR

Conclusion

SLP screening PCR

The PCR run with condition E (5% DMSO, 2mM MgCl2 with GC buffer) had the highest flexibility; it yields the expected product at different annealing temperatures: 58.4 C, 59.6, C 60.6 C, 61.9 C, 63.2 C, 64.6 C, 65 C.
