plasmid extraction : pGEMTeasy + chromoprotein

by Laetitia

We used the bacteria containing pGEMTeasy + chromoprotein launched by Laetitia monday the 25th for the plasmid extraction, 6 independent cultures which come from the 6 stocks made yesterday.

To extract the plasmid, we used the plasmid DNA purification kit (Macherey-Nagel). Protocol for low copy plasmid.

Digestion of pGEMTeasy+chromoproteinby XbaI and PstI

by Laetitia

The goal is to check the presence of the insert inside the plasmid. We digest the 6 samples of purified plasmid.

component volume
Plasmid 10 μl
Fast Digest buffer 10X 1,5 μl
XbaI 0.5μl
PstI 0.5μl
H20 2,5 μl

3-4h at 37°C

D : sample digested by XbaI and PstI

We can see two or three bands for the digested samples : the digestion has worked.

The band at 1500kb is the chromoprotein gene, the band at 3000kb is pGEMTeasy alone. The band at 4500kb is the plasmid containing the chromoprotein gene, non digested.

We decided to use the plasmid samples 3, 4 and 6

Digestion of pGEMTeasy+chromoprotein 3,4 and 6 by EcoRI and PstI

by Laetitia

We digest the remaining sample of plasmid extracted this day (20μl) : samples 3, 4 and 6

component volume
Plasmid 20 μl
Fast Digest buffer 10X 3 μl
EcoRI 1μl
PstI 1μl
H20 5 μl

37°C - at night

Bacterial culture of pGEMTeasy+chromoprotein samples 3,4 and 6 from bacterial stock

Culture in 5mL LB + ampiciline (1/1000) - 37°C at night

Streaking of colonies transformed by BBa_K762100+pGEMTeasy (LS)

Due to yesterday's strange results, we conduct 30 streakings in a petri dish: 28 white colonies and 2 blue colonies.

Digestion of pGEMTeasy+ LS by SacI

by Laetitia

The goal is to check if the limonen synthase gene is really inside the plasmid. We used the two samples named " LS2 " and " LS3 " which are normally pGEMTeasy+LS .

component volume
Plasmid 20 μl
Fast Digest buffer 10X 3μl
SacI 1μl
H20 6μl

Electrophoresis of the digestion products by SacI

L - TLS2 - DLS2 - TLS3 - DLS3

The results are weird, the bands on the gel don't match our expectations, we don't know what happened with this plasmid. We should see two bands because the limonene synthase gene were inside the plasmid but we only can see one band which doesn't match with the size of pGEMTeasy+LS or with pGEMTeasy empty...

Culture of bacteria with pps5

by Mélanie [2014.igem.org/Team:Paris_Saclay/Notebook/August/25#Transformation_of_DH5a_with_the_ligation Yesterday] we have transformed DH5A with pPS5 (PPSI +CAD. So we do a culture with some clone that have growth on the petri dish

Extraction of pPS3 and pPS4

by Terry

Extraction of plasmid pPS3 (coding beta-pinene) and pPS4 (coding geraniol) with the following protocol

2 different clones with pPS3 and 4 with pPS4 have been used for this extraction.

Stocks of this clones have been made.
