Week 6:

07/11/2011
1. inoculate prs 423+MET25, prs 424+MET25, prs 424+MET25
2. PCR TPS1, MSN2, ELO1, OLE1
3. Inoculate and mini-prep:
PCDF(s) and PCOLA(K)

07/12/2011
1. Observations: PCR products of CASO didn’t work
2. Test:
Old forward primer with new reverse primer
New forward primer with old reverse primer
3. Purify ligated vectors:
prs 423+MET25, prs 424+MET25, prs 424+MET25
4. Run a gel for PCR genes
