Results from previous day

  • Background control plate had growth, which was not expected. This suggests that pSB1C3 backbone religated.
  • It was also thought that the Tod genes used were not from the PCR fusion experiment.
  • Same experiment done again, with a new set of Tod genes from a PCR fusion.
  • For digestion of backbone, already digested backbone from 01/08/2013 was used, which was digested with EcoRI and PstI.

Incubation of bacteria from the plates of previous day for mini prep

  • 12 single colonies were picked from each plate and put into 15ml of broth
  • 36 tubes were left incubating overnight at 37C

Sending pGEM-T vector with Tod insert clones to sequencing by PNACL

Digestion of new fusion PCR Tod genes

  • Digestion with EcorI-HF and PstI-HF using Cutsmart buffer
  • 500ng of DNA was digested from the following Tod DNA concentrations:
SampleConcentration ng/ul260/280260/230
Tod X49.51.891.99
Tod F33.91.981.68
Tob B37.41.821.70
  • Volumes for double digest:
