Measuring the concentrations of isolated P. putida DNA from the previous day
- Measuring concentration using nanodrop
- Blanking against buffer
| Sample nr. | Concentration ng/ul | 260/280 | 260/230 |
| 2 | 44 | 1.8 | 1.15 |
| 4 | 30.6 | 1.8 | 1.29 |
| 6 | 42.3 | 1.81 | 1.05 |
| 8 | 35.6 | 1.85 | 1.26 |
| 10 | 38.2 | 1.84 | 1.28 |
| 12 | 40.6 | 1.83 | 1.45 |
| 14 | 39.9 | 1.88 | 1.47 |
| 16 | 18.5 | 1.17 | 0.67 |
Preparing samples to run on 1% gel
- 500ng of each of the isolated P. putida DNA sample is run on gel
- Volumes are adjusted to 20ul per well accordingly (includes DNA, sterile H2O and OG)
- 5ul of orange G dye is added to each sample
- 5ul of 1kb ladders are used
- For sheared DNA, dilutions were loaded
- 1ul of DNA was diluted in 9ul of 1xTE buffer to make up 10x dilution
- 1ul from 10x dilution was put in 9ul of 1xTE buffer to make up 100x dilution
- Dilutions were nanodropped and the concentration for 100 fold dilution was 121 ng/ul
- 200ng of herring sperm DNA was run on gel
- One lane was left for control, non-sheared DNA, also 100 fold dilution
Running gel of P. putida DNA and Herring sperm DNA
Samples in lanes goes as follows: 1 Kb ladder, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 1 kb ladder, 100x dilution of sheared herring sperm DNA, control 100x diluted herring sperm DNA
Running sonicated herring sperm DNA on 0.8% gel
- 3 lanes for running:
- Sheared and sonicated
- Unsheared and sonicated
- Unsheared and unsonicated
- 5ul of 1kb marker is used
- The DNA samples are diluted 100 fold and 200ng of sample is run.
- Volume of sterile water is adjusted appropriately to make up 20ul of sample per well, including 5ul of orange G dye
Making up a sheared/sonicated dilution to leave on bench overnight
- 500ul of sheared/sonicated DNA
- 500ul of 1xTE
- Mix
- Leave on bench overnight
Incubating sheared/sonicated dilution at 37C on a shaking rack
- 10ul of 1xTE added to 2ul of sheared/sonicated DNA
- Mix
- Incubated overnight at 37C on a shaking rack
