Week 1

P. areuginosa, strain mPA01, grown on LB agar plate overnight at 37°C

Gentamycin, at a final concentration of 30μg/mL-100μg/mL, was used to counter select

Single colony grown overnight in LB broth

Genomic DNA extracted

LB broth was spun down, resuspended in PBS, and boiled for 20 min. The supernatant was then transferred to a new tube

Week 2

PCR

samples were prepared in GC and HF Phusion buffer master mixes, with the following sample dilutions: no dilution, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:1000

Gel Electrophoresis

agarose gel, at a final concentration of 0.8% made in TBE, was run at 100V for 60min

Week 3

Transformation

For restriction digestion for transformation, the following enzymes were used: kpni and xhol

Samples from Transformation were applied to a gel

1% agarose gel was made with TAE, and run at 40V for 60min

T4 ligation
