There is a specific band, but not at 5 Kb.

=> We cannot amplify F1b from a PCR fragment. Use fresh bacteria instead.


Preparation of fresh ACM media

  • Mix ingrediants according to Acidovorax complex medium
  • Autoclave
  • pH adjust to 7,3
  • Mix 500 ml media and 6 g agar
  • Autoclave again
  • Pour plates

Preparation of fresh D. acidovorans

  • Inocculate 5 ml ACM media with D. acidovorans
  • Incubate ON
  • Prepare glycerol stock
  • Streak some of culture on plates

l3 shows a slight band at 5 Kb


There is a weak band at the probe 1b WITH DMSO above 5 Kb.

=> Start a new PCR with 50 µl with the same conditions.

Result

Expected band: 5 Kb.

l2-4 band at 5 Kb was cut out
Fig.11.3 gel of amplified fragment 1B (loaded 50 µL)

l2-4 show expected band at 5 Kb and another lower band



The expected band at 5 Bk is weak, but visible. Note that there is sample left in the pocket.

=> The fragment was cut and gel extracted.


Generation of DelH plasmid

Restriction Digest

Of fragments F1a, F1b, F2 and backbone.

Fragment DNA [µl] ddH2O [µl] Enzymes [µl] BSA [µl] Buffer 4 [µl]
F1a (1) 30 7 1.5 Pac & EcoRI-HF each 5 5
F1a (2) 30 7 1.5 Pac & EcoRI-HF each 5 5
F1b (11.7 - 20 µl) 20 17 1.5 SalI-HF & EcoRI-HF each 5 5
F1b (11.7 - 50 µl) 20 17 1.5 SalI-HF & EcoRI-HF each 5 5
F2 20 17 1.5 SalI-HF & KpnI-HF each 5 5
BB (6-7 of IK - 14 ng/µl) 20 17 1.5PacI & KpnI-HF each 5 5
BB (6-7) 20 17 1.5 PacI & KpnI-HF each 5 5

Result

Loaded 5 µl of restriction digested fragments on gel. The result stands in the table below:

Fragment Band Conclusion Next step
F1a purified on 12-07 strong bands at 1, 2 and 3 Kb
weak band at wanted 5 KB
PCR purification of F1a step was not the right purifying step load complete probe on gel and gel extract
F1b purified on 12-07 weak band at 5 Kb maybe only low concentration run PCR again
F2 no band maybe too low concentration run PCR again
BB weak band at 7.4 Kb maybe only low concentration run PCR again

Gel Extraction of DelH F1a

Expected band: 5 KB, loaded entire F1a purified on 12-07 on gel
