Main purpose

---

Who was in the lab

---

Henrike, Kristian, Julia

Procedure

---

A gradient PCR was made for pSB1C3 and pZA21::ara for Nir.

The master mix contains:

• CG buffer,
• X7 polymerase,
• 2% of DMSO (1uL of 100%DMSO) per reaction
• 1mM MgCl2 (1uL of 50mM MgCl2) per reaction

	1	2
Template	pSB1C3	pZA21::ara
Primers	57a + 57b	58a + 58b
Temperature range	58C-78C	50C-65C
Elongation time per cycle	1:30 min	2 min

Each reaction was run in one of the 12 different annealing temperatures within the range indicated in the table. We followed the standard PCR program.

lab 115

---

Main purpose

---

Run Experiment 4 in two different samples anaerobically in order to characterize the behavior of AMO transformants.

Who was in the lab

---

Ariadni, Helen, Kashia

Procedure

---

Adjusting the temperature at 36 degrees and calibrating the probes as described in Calibration protocol.

Following the protocol Experiment 4

Changing the steps :

step 2 . 4 ml of the overnight culture growing in DM minimal medium with NH₄Cl

and step 3 from the experimental procedure where the OD was measured OD=0.0761 and 0.0720 for the AMO mutant. For the E.coli culture the OD was 0.0822 and 0.0947.The abiotic controls have OD= 0.002 and 0.0006.

OD at the end of the experiment

OD=0.2083 and 0.2232 for the AMO mutants. For the E.coli culture the OD was 2.39 and 0.1173.The abiotic controls have OD=0.00144 and 0.0004.
