Wednesday 8th September Gel Electrophoresis [[1]] was repeated with the two differentlly cut plasmids containing Part BBa_E0040: The Gel was set up as follows starting from the bottom: 1) Part BBa_E0040 cut with EcoR1 and Pst1. 2) Part BBa_E0040 cut with EcoR1 and Xpa1. 3) Ladder. Both bands from each lane were removed using the gel extraction kit.[[2]] A ligation was set up between the cholera system and the cut plasmid pACYC. Six different variations of the ligase constituents were used to see which produced the best results: Substance(μL) Tube 1 Tube 2 Tube 3 Tube 4 pACYC 4 2 2 2 System 2 2 4 2 Ligase 1 1 1 0 Buffer 1 1 1 1 H2O 2 4 2 5
