Organization

where to get:

key cards and keys for the lab
cooled centifuge
space in -80 °C
bottles for 70 % ethanol
... (problems of a first year team ^^)

12th

Chemically competent NEB Top10, DH5α and BL21 were made

15th

800 ml LB for plates with 1.5% agar and kanamycin (50 µg/L) were prepared
The efficiency of our competent cells was tested
- Colonies on the agar plates were counted after transformation with 1 µl DNA (147 ng/µl)
- Cells had been incubated in SOC or LB medium

Dilution	200 µl (stock)	100 µl (stock)	1:5	1:10	1:100
DH5α	SOC: 30 LB: 10	SOC: 7 LB: 1	SOC: 1 LB: 2	SOC: 2 LB: 1
NEB 10β	SOC: 170 LB: 135	SOC: 100 LB: 79	SOC: 25 LB: 22	SOC: 9 LB: 9	SOC: 1 LB:0

BL21 cells were centrifuged and plated; only 128 colonies grew in total indicating a very bad efficiency (~482.11).

Following formula was used to calculate the efficiency:

Efficiency = (CFU /µg DNA) / Dilution

for DH5α: medial efficiency in SOC: 1864.36, and in LB: 440.68
for NEB: medial efficiency in SOC: 6779.66, and in LB: 4698.30
Higher efficiency when using SOC!

23th

5 µl of the PCR products were run on a 1,5% agarose gel
DNA bands were purified from gel with the High Pure Product Purification Kit. Full length products were contaminated with REACh1

28th

The DNA concentration of the SOE2 products were measured after purification
1: 57 ng/µL
2: 69.5 ng/µL

29th

PCR SOE1 and SOE2

30th

A PAGE of the SOE2 products was run on agarose gel for checking
→ no positive results; only full length products were amplified

SOE PCRs were run again
→ more template
→ hot start
→ faster
→ elongation: 15 min
→ 20 cycles

SOE1

Template A+B → 20 µL → 13.8 + 6.2 5.3 + 14.7

	volume [µL]
HF	10
dNTP	4
Template	20
Phusion	0.5
Water	13.5

SOE2
