Main purpose


  • PCR for extraction of Nir2 from PAO1

Who was in the lab


Gosia, Julia, Henrike

Procedure


PCR for Nir2 extraction from PAO1

We tried to reproduce the successful extraction of Nir2 from PAO1. The extracted Nir2 fragment will be used as template for a screening PCR with USER primers.


primers: 42a and 42b

template: 1 colony of P. aeruginosa cells resuspended in 100 uL milliQ water

program: touchdown PCR (called U2 on Eppendorf)

The table shows the composition of each reaction:

component (per reaction) without additives 5% DMSO 2mM MgCl2 5% DMSO + 2mM MgCl2 Negative control
dNTPs 1uL 1uL 1uL 1uL 1uL
GC buffer 10uL 10uL 10uL 10uL 10uL
Phusion polymerase 0.5uL 0.5uL 0.5uL 0.5uL 0.5uL

PCR for Nir2 with USER endings

We are still trying to amplify Nir2 with endings that are suitable for USER cloning with Nir1. The same reaction mix as yesterday was run on two new programs.

Sample 1-6: 63C annealing temperature

Sample 7-12: ramp from 63C-57C

If this PCR is not successful we suggest to try touchdown.

Gel purification

gel purify PCR products from constitutive promoter SPL and constitutive promoter ref
