Digestion:transformation of parts listed as below.
- •lactose promoter(ampicilin)
- •double terminator(ampicilin)

PCR amplification of SAM-P20 and ChiA
- We performed colony direct PCRs from a S. albogriseolus colony and a S. avermitilis colony.
Reaction mixture Component Volume(μl) 2x Buffer 25 2mM dNTPs 10 Primer 1 1.5 Primer 2 1.5 Template X KOD FX 1 ddH2O up to 50
PCR condition Predenature 94C 2m Denature 98C 10s 30cycles Annealing 56C 30s Extension 68C 1m30s
- We prepared two kinds of templates:
- Picked a colony, suspended in 50ul of water and incubated 1min at 95 degree. Added 1ul to the reaction mixture.
- Picked a colony and dipped in the reaction mixture.
- Gel electrophoresis indicated that the PCR amplifications were successful for a sample, ChiA, but it was a faint band. We decided to retry direct PCR of SAM-P20 and PCR of ChiA.

- Reaction mixture: The same components and volume as before.
- PCR condition: The same PCR condition as before.
- PCR for SAM-P20
- We prepared two kinds of templates:
- Picked a colony, suspended in 50ul of TE buffer (pH8.0) and incubated 1min at 95 degrees. Added 5ul to the reaction mixture.
- Picked a colony and dipped in the reaction mixture.
- PCR for ChiA
- 1μl of PCR product was added to the reaction mixture as template.
- Gel electrophoresis indicated that the PCR amplifications were successful for all samples. However, an unexpected faint band, about 1000bp, was also observed in the sample of ChiA.
PCR purification of SAM-P20 and gel extraction of ChiA.
