Notes

Week1(8/24/2016-8/30/2016)

  • Cultivation: We used PCR to amplify the CpxR promoter and RFP gene from plasmid pUC57, and then we recycled the amplified fragment from the agarose gel. Then we use Xba1 and Pst1 enzyme to cut the plasmid pUC19 and CpxR-RFP fragment.

  • 19 We linked the cut plasmid and CpxR-RFP fragment together and transformed the recombinant plasmid to E.coli. We used PCR to amplify the PETase gene and then recycled them from the agarose
    • PCR worked, positive control worked, no amplification of 19.
  • 15 amplification at 65.0°C with 15.rev/fwd primes.
    • PCR worked, positive control worked, no amplification of 15.
  • A product length of 900 bp was expected. The gel shows that most plasmids seem to be correct.
  • This result was confirmed by sequencing.
  • The fragments of 19 and 15 were purified with PCR Purification Kit.
