pBAD Strong Mutations

 * As only one colony was produced when using the standard conditions, will try using a lower annealing temperature to produce more colonies.

PCR Mixture

 * 10ul 5X Phusion HF Buffer
 * 1uL 10mM dNTP mix
 * 27.9uL diH2O
 * 5uL of 5uM/uL Positive Forward Primer
 * 5uL of 5uM/uL Reverse Primer
 * 0.6uL of 1/10000 pBAD DNA Template
 * Add 0.5uL DNA Polymerase just before starting the PCR

PCR Conditions - Lower Annealing Temperature

 * 98°C - 30sec
 * 98°C - 10sec
 * 66.5°C - 30 sec
 * 72°C - 60sec
 * Repeat steps 2-4 for 25 cycles
 * 72°C -10 min
 * 4°C - hold

Gel PCR Confirmation

 * Run a gel of 10uL of PCR product
 * Used standard gel conditions of 1% agarose, 0.5X TBE buffer, 1uL CYBR Safe, 100V, 1hour
 * A very faint band was seen on the gel
