105, mtrB Ligations/transformations 08/17

Parts to ligated came from 8/17

We used a 2:1 molar ratio of insert to vector for all of the ligations. The ligations were all transformed into TOP10 cells.

Plasmid Number of colonies
P105+P1'BB 2
P105+P3'BB 102
P101+P105 0
P101+P108 0
(mtrB(BB)+P97)+P108 20
(mtrB(BB)+P97)+P116 4
(mtrB(BB)+P97)+P117 13

In retrospect, it appears that all the ligations with mtrB are wrong, since the digest was actually wrong.

105 Colony PCR 08/18

The annealing temperature was 55 °C and the elongation time was 2'45" (we used Platinum Taq supermix).

Expected band size is 2475bp.

We used the Fermentas enzymes and digested for 25'.

QPI+45 Ligations/transformations 08/18

We used the 45 just digested, so all DNA was cut with the Fermentas enzymes.

Plasmid Ratio (insert!vector) Strain Number of colonies
P117? vector control 2!1 molar with EB DH5-alpha 1
P117?+45 2!1 molar TOP10 2

P108+45 7!1 volumetric DH5-alpha 0

Colony PCR 08/19

The annealing temperature was 55°C and the elongation time was 2'30" for P108+45 and 2' for P116 and P117. We used the Platinum Taq SUPERmix.

Ligations/transformations of P101+115/118 08/19

We used a 2:1 insert to vector ratio for all ligations. We tried using Amy™'s method of dephosphorylating (i.e. using the Roche kit).

Plasmid Strain Number of colonies
P101 vector control (P115) DH5-alpha too many to count (same as P101+115 in DH5-alpha)
P101+115 DH5-alpha too many to count
P101+115 TOP10 too many to count (more than in P101+115 in DH5-alpha)
P101 vector control (P115) DH5-alpha too many to count (less than P101+118 in DH5-alpha)
P101+115 DH5-alpha too many to count
P101+115 TOP10 too many to count (more than in P101+118 in DH5-alpha)

Colony PCR 08/20

We used an annealing temperature of 55 °C and elongation temperature 1'45" and 2'15", and Platinum Taq SUPERmix

Lanes 1-2: P101 (115) vector control

Lanes 3-48: P101+115

Lanes 49-50: P101 (118) vector control

Lanes 51-96: P101+118

  • Samples 2, 4, 14, 25, 49, 61, 77 picked for 5mL culture and sequencing.
  • It's a bit alarming that the vector controls have ~1kb inserts. Uncut P101 should not transform, as the part contained is lethal (ccdB).
