Evening lab work done by: Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung

Picking Colonies and Starting Up Cultures of vioB Ligation Reaction
  • (Avi-Tagged pZE12 backbone) control plate shows no growth of colonies
  • (vioB + Avi-Tagged pZE12 backbone) plate shows numerous colonies
- Picked three colonies (vioB+Avi+BB #1, 2, 3) and started 3mL cultures in LB with 3μL ampicillin
- Incubated overnight in the 37°C shaker of Room 304
PCR Reaction Setup of GFP (because sequencing results were negative)
38.5μL ddH2O
5μL 10x buffer
2.5μL dNTP
1μL forward GFP primer
1μL reverse GFP primer
1μL (pZE12+GFP) backbone template
1μL Vent DNA polymerase
50μL Total
  • Annealing temperature of 54.2°C
  • 1 minute extension cycle

Morning lab work done by: Youjin Cho

Objective
  • Miniprep the vioB+Avi-Tag+pZE12 samples and submit for sequencing.
Miniprep and Sequencing
  • Miniprepped the vioB+avi-tag+pZE12 (1,2,3) samples using standard Qiagen Miniprep protocol.
  • Using 1μL of pZE12 reverse primer dilution and 17μL of each template, prepared and submitted the samples for sequencing.
Order number: 10255430

Afternoon lab work done by: Claire Paduano, Maneesh Gupta, Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung

Objective
  • Set up new ligation of GFP and Avi-Tagged backbone
  • Send out gel purified GFP PCR reaction product to troubleshoot why our procedure isn't working
  • Conducted gel electrophoresis on PCR reaction product of GFP
- Visualization of migrated DNA fragments does not show a GFP band around 750bp
  • Redid PCR on GFP
- Note: This time, we made sure to add 1µL MgSO4
37.5μL ddH2O
5μL 10x buffer
1μL 25mM dNTP
1μL MgSO4
1μL forward GFP primer
1μL reverse GFP primer
1μL (pZE12+GFP) backbone template
1μL Vent DNA polymerase
48.5μL Total
  • Annealing temperature of 54.2°C
  • 1 minute extension cycle

Gel electrophoresis
-Visualization shows GFP band around 750bp

36μL H2O
6.5μL GFP (1μg)
5μL 10x NEBuffer 4
0.5μL 100x BSA
1.0μL KpnI-HF
1μL SphI-HF
50μL Total
  • Avi-Tagged pZE12 vector backbone
32.9μL H2O
9.6μL VioE in Avi-Tagged pZE12 vector backbone (1μg)
5μL 10x NEBuffer 4
0.5μL 100x BSA
1.0μL KpnI-HF
1μL SphI-HF
50μL Total
Incubate in 37°C water bath for 2 hours
