Notebook: W3110 ∆sdaBC ∆cheA



Week 10 : 09/01/2014 ➡ 08/07/2014

  • PCR cheA-kan-cheA using the iGEM PCR protocol with Q5 polymerase. The temperature of annealing is 60°C, the elongation time is 1’30”.

    Mix:

    • 1µL pKD4 vector
    • 2,5µL primer 3
    • 2,5µL primer 4
    • 2,5µL dNTP
    • 10µL Q5 buffer
    • qsp 50µL H2O

  • Clean-up of the previous PCR. Elution in 45µL of water.

  • Electroporation of W3110 ∆sdaBC electrocompetent cells from Aimeric (clone 43)

    40µL cells + 10µL PCR
    40µL cells + 0,5µL pKT25 (negative control)
    ==> Spread bacteria on LB-Kan

  • Many clones have grown on the negative control but no clone has grown for the cheA mutant. So cells are competent but they don’t express the recombinase.

  • Streak out W3110 ∆sdaBC 43 and 63 from Aimeric on LB and LB-Kan

  • The bacteria are sensitive to kanamicyn.

Week 11 : 09/08/2014 ➡ 08/14/2014

  • Repreparation of W3110 ∆sdaBC 43 electrocompetent cells (see Lambda Red mutant construction protocol) and restart from this step (day 1).

  • The clones obtained were KanR and ApS ==> OK

  • The clones are pooled 3 by 3 to be tested by PCR with primers 52 and 53.

    The pools 1 and 2 seemed to contain mutants (1786bp).

  • Restart PCR with primers 52 and 53 on the isolated clones from pools 1 and 2.

    The clones 1a, 2a and 2b seemed good, they are kept at -80°C. So the W3110 ∆sdaBC ∆cheA is OK.
