Starch assay was performed on the 6 colonies which were inoculated yesterday.


Colony PCR was also performed on the same 6 colonies. The pair of primers used was F-hy_spank-NheI and HM14 (annealing temperature 70°C).
The samples were checked on agarose gel 0.8%.

The samples showed to be all positive candidates (expected product size ~2400bps).

Colony 1 from each transformation didn't show any amylase activity and show positive results from the Colony PCR screening, therefore 100µl of O/N liquid culture were inoculated in 50mL LB.
The cultures were induced when the OD₆₀₀ was 0.5 with 1mM IPTG.
Samples were taken every hour after induction.
Samples from not induced culture were also taken at the same time.

A colony PCR is done for Esta-S3 and Esta-S9. This showed correct clones for both of the ligation reactions. So an inoculation is done for these ones.
