Biosensor Construction - 14/03/2012
Screening of the four different biobrick clonings done by colony-PCR. Protocol: A reaction mix was prepared containing 0.2 ul of each screening primer used for the screening, 9.6 ul of water and 10 ul of 2x PCR mastermix (fermentas). Finally a colony was picked from a plate using a sterile pipette tip and was dipped into the PCR mix a few times. 7-8 clones were screened for each different cloning setup as follows: SulA-GFP and SulA-LacZ: primers SulA_fw and VR (standard sequencing primer) were used. Only in case SulA was successfully cloned into the backbone containing the reporter gene, we would get a PCR product. GFP would give a product of roughly 1000 bp, LacZ one of roughly 3500 bp. RecA-GFP and RecA-LacZ: primers VF2 and VR (standard sequencing primers) were used. We compared the product size of the different clones to the product size from the original vectors from the registry (only containing recA or LacZ). In case the cloning was successful, we should ssee a 200 bp shift in product size, which can be detected by gel electrophoresis. The PCR program was done as follows: 94°C/3min||94°C/30s|60°C/30s|72°C/3min 45s||30x 72°C/10min|4°C/forever Afterwards, 3 ul PCR product were loaded onto a 1 % agarose gel.
