Lab work

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

1h at 37°C

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

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

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

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
