Kits for purification of plasmid-DNA and DNA fragments

DNA was extracted in small or medium scale using the Promega or Qiagen DNA preparation kits. For all DNA extractions before digestions/transformations, Promega Kits were applied. Only when performing sequencing, Qiagen kits were preferred.

LB growth media - components an recipe

LB media was prepared from 10 g/l tryptone, 5 g/l yeast extract and 5 g/l NaCl and autoclaved before usage. For preparing LB agar plates, 1.5 g of agar were added to the media. The media was furthermore substituted with 100 ug/ml ampicillin (for LB-amp) or 35 ug/ul chloramphenicol (for LB-cm).
