EGFP has stayed elusive to cloning with PCR so we tried it again. Also we ran out of MicF and had to clone that again. We ran two reactions:

  • RXN 1
    • 5.0 uL 10X pfu buffer
    • 0.4 uL pfu DNA polymerase
    • 0.4 uL primer forward
    • 0.4 uL primer reverse
    • 1.0 uL 4X dNTP
    • 10.0 uL template (e.coli genome 20 ng/uL)
    • 32.8 uL dH2O
  • RXN 2
    • 5.0 uL 10X pfu buffer
    • 0.4 uL primer forward
    • 0.4 uL primer reverse
    • 0.4 uL pfu DNA polymerase
    • 1.0 uL 4X dNTP
    • 1.0 uL template (pXG-10 475 ng/uL)
    • 41.8 uL dH2O

The PCR setting that was used:

  1. 95 C: 5 min.
  2. 95 C: 30 sec.
  3. 51 C: 30 sec.
  4. 72 C: 1.5 min.
  5. 72 C: 10 min.
  6. 4 C: hold

Numbers 2-4 were repeated 32 times.

I also inoculated 1 white colony from each of the 4 plates made on 7/22/10. Each was inoculated into 5 mL of LB Broth with added 5 uL of CAP resistance added to them. They were then put into a spinner in the 37 C room overnight.
