Plasmid DNA Purification

by Fabio

  • BBa_K1372001 Cl.1
  • BBa_K1372001 Cl.2

From Liquid Culture made the 11th August

Protocol

Digestion to check

by Fabio

In order to validate the hole Assembly Process, we did a final digestion. The samples were digested with the enzymes EcoRI and PstI, that separates the BioBrick Assembly core from theirs vectors. The graphic result of this process is shown in the next step.

Protocol:

  1. Add 5 μl of the plasmid to digest.
  2. Add 2 μl of buffer (Fast Digest Buffer 10x).
  3. Add 0,2 μl of enzyme EcoRI.
  4. Add 0,2 μl of enzyme PstI.
  5. Complete with 12,6μl of H2O.
  6. Mix gently.
  7. Incubate at 37°C for one hour.

Electrophoresis

by Fabio

The Electrophoresis was used to verify the success of the Digestion and the success of the plasmid DNA purification at the same time. Strain number 5 represents the digestion's control as it is the BBa_B0015, the BioBrick used as vector. If the clones have the same size of the control, it indicates that we had no ligation between both BioBricks (BBa_K1372000 and BBa_B0015). Each sample has 20 μl and the Ladder has 10 μl.

  1. Plasmid Cl.1
  2. Plasmid Cl.2
  3. Plasmid Cl.3
  4. Plasmid Cl.4
  5. BBa_B0015 - Control

Results:

  1. Success, vector has 2200 bp and insert has 1533 bp.
  2. Success, vector has 2200 bp and insert has 1533 bp.
  3. Success, vector has 2200 bp and insert has 1533 bp.
  4. Failed, the plasmid had no digestion.
  5. Good, we have a control.

BioBrick Assembly - Segregate Process Protocol

Final Stock

by Fabio

As the BioBrick Assembly was a success, proved by the last Electrophoresis, we have registered a new BioBrick named BBa_K1372001 together with its final stock. We used the Clones 2 and 3 from Liquid Colonies made the 11th August as the Electrophoresis shows a good concentration of them.

  • BBa_K1372001 Cl. 1
  • BBa_K1372001 Cl. 2

1 ml of colonies plus 0.20 ml of glycerol 87%

PCR Clean-up of p cola and BBa_K517003

by Sean

PCR prepared on the 7th August.

Clean-up performed with the following protocol.

NB: in the present case we have 40 µl of each PCR result and we use 20 µl of elution buffer.

by Terry

Resumption of the preculture made yesterday, expressing blue chromoprotein. We will make 4 pieces of agar ( + control ) with different concentrations of bacteria in it.

Protocol:

  1. Preparation of a stock of 200ml agar gel at 20mg/ml. ( 4g of solid agar in 200ml of hot water )
  2. Sterilisation of the mold with Ethanol 70%, all the work will be made in steril condition.
  3. Control of the Optic Density : 0.86
  4. 4 dilutions are prepared in total volume of 1ml :
    • 1ml of preculture (100%)
    • 500µl of LB and 500µl of preculture (50%)
    • 900µl of LB and 100µl of preculture (10%)
    • 990µl of LB and 10µl of preculture (1%)
  5. Introduction of 1ml of the different dilutions in the molds
  6. Introduction of 10ml of semi-liquid agar in each mold. Agar's temperature : 40°C
  7. The molds are securised with Aluminium.
  8. Direct incubation at 37°C
