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.
| Name | Product Description | Company |
| small scale plasmid purification from E. coli Top10 cells before digestion or transformation into different E. coli strains | Promega | |
| small scale plasmid purification from E. coli Top10 cells before sequencing | Qiagen | |
| medium scale plasmid purification from E. coli Top10 cells before digestion or transformation into different E. coli strains | Promega | |
| direct purification of DNA after restriction digests | Qiagen | |
| Purification of DNA fragements from agarose gel | Qiagen |
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).
| Name | Usage | Company |
| LB media | BD | |

| usage: 100 ug/ml, selection of plasmid containing an amp resistance gene | Sigma | |
| usage: 35 ug/ml, selection of plasmid containing an Cm resistance gene | Sigma | |
| preparing agar plates | Sigma | |
| dissolve in DMSO at 20 mg/ml. final concentration for blue-white screening: 100 ug/ml and for X-Gal assays in liquid LB culture: 200 ug/ml | Sigma |
E. coli Strains
E. coli Top10 were used for amplification of plasmid DNA and subsequent DNA substraction. Bl21(DE3) were used in all measurments/assays performed.

| restriction enzyme, recognition sequence: GAATTC | Promega or NEB | |
| restriction enzyme, recognition sequence: ACTAGT | Promega or NEB | |
| restriction enzyme, recognition sequence: TCTAGA | Promega or NEB | |
| restriction enzyme, recognition sequence: CTGCAG | Promega or NEB | |
| Ligation of DNA fragments | Promega or Fermentas | |
| Standard Taq PCR master mix for robust amplification of DNA-Fragments by PCR; used for colony-PCR screens | Fermentas |
Oligonucleotides
Oligos were annealed and subsequently cloned into EcoRI/XbaI predigested reporter backbones. Thereby short synthetic DNA-sequences (in this case for the promoters psulA, precA and precB) can be generated in a fast and easy manner.

Gel electrophoresis
For gel electrophoresis we used 1 % agarose dissolved in 1x TAE buffer. Gels were run at 110 V for 25-60 min.
| Name | Usage | Company |
| to be dissolved to 1 % in 1x TAE buffer | Sigma | |
