- Ligation of CcdB operon and pSB1C3: 25 minutes at room temperature
- Transformation in E. coli DH5a, using heat shock (42°C),
-> Plate on chloramphenicol plate and grow overnight at 37°C : negative
- Q5 PCR of pSB1C3, using the designed Gibson primers and the linearised plasmid
-> Purification of PCR-product, using Qiagen Qiaquick PCR purification kit: nanodrop:
pSB1C3-backbone: 109.9 ng/µl
- Gibson Assembly (1h at 50°C)
- Transformation in E. coli Top10 subcloning cells, using electroporation (Time Constant: 4.4)
-> Plate on chloramphenicol plate and grow overnight at 37°C: positive
- Colony PCR (Crimson) using primers MDM0606 and MDM0607:
6 colonies can possible be positive (but it is not sure)
-> Inoculate the 6 colonies (overnight)
- Control of fragment of pSB1C3 on a gel => Backbone is not present
- Plasmid purification of the 6 colonies + restriction to control of they are the good colonies (on a gel)
There is a possibility that they are the good ones, so we will send it to sequenate
-> pSB1C3-T7ccdB sent for sequencing with primers MDM0606, MDM0607, MDM0060 and MDM0039: negative
- Q5 PCR of pSB1C3, using the designed Gibson primers and the linearised plasmid
-> Purification of PCR-product, using Qiagen Qiaquick PCR purification kit:
nanodrop: pSB1C3-backbone: 58.0 ng/µl
-> Control of fragment of pSB1C3 on a gel => Backbone is not present
- Q5 PCR of pSB1C3, using the designed Gibson primers and the restriction digest of pSB1C3
-> Purification of PCR-product, using Qiagen Qiaquick PCR purification kit:
nanodrop: pSB1C3-backbone: 76.2 ng/µl
-> Control of fragment of pSB1C3 on a gel => Backbone is present
- Gibson Assembly (1h at 50°C)
- Transformation in E. coli Top10 subcloning cells, using electroporation (Time Constant: 4.3)
-> Plate on chloramphenicol plate and grow overnight at 37°C: positive => many colonies
- Colony PCR (Crimson):
We tested 48 colonies (using primers MDM0606 and MDM0607) and 4 colonies show the right fragment (2520 bp)
-> Inoculate these 4 good colonies
- Plasmid purification of the 4 colonies, using Qiagen Qiaprep Spin minikit: nanodrop:
-> pSB1C3 strain 1: 94.2 ng/µl
-> pSB1C3 strain 2: 163.4 ng/µl
-> pSB1C3 strain 3: 160.2 ng/µl
-> pSB1C3 strain 4: 124.3 ng/µl
- Restriction with BspHI to control on a gel of they are the right colonies
(expected fragments are 1028bp and 3248 bp): positive
-> Strains 2, 3 and 4 seems to be the correct colonies
- pSB1C3-T7ccdB of these 3 colonies sent for sequencing with primers MDM0606, MDM0607, MDM0060 and MDM0039
-> sequence shows a mutation in the stop-codon, so we have to start over again
