We conducted a heat cycle PCR to determine the optimum conditions for amplifying our araC gene. The lanes here are loaded as follows:
1: 1kb+ ladder
2: Negative control (H2O)
3-7: pBAD33 plasmid at temperatures 50C, 55C, 58C, 60C and 65C.
8: Negative control (H2O)
9-13: pBAD33 plasmid at temperatures 50C, 55C, 58C, 60C and 65C.
The expected 900bp band for araC is seen at each temperature
PCR of the lacI gene showing the expected ~1kb band.
PCR of glnG (lanes 2 and 3), glnAp2 (lanes 5 and 6), and the promoter Plac/ara (lanes 2-4 of the second gel). Only glnG is the expected size (1.6kb), while the other two significantly smaller parts (200-300bp) have not been amplified.
