Maia checked the presence and size of phzM and phzS inserts within the Topo vector by repeating the PCR performed on 02/08. Results confirmed presence of inserts with the correct size. The TOPO vectors containing phzM and phzS were then sent for sequencing to ensure the inserts did not contain any mistakes. DNA sequenced and the primers used are summarized in the table below.

Maija did a colony PCR from six plates to make sure the inserted genes are in the right constructor vectors. The primers were chosen so that one of the primers anneals to the insert and the other to the vector. As a result the colonies phzM, phzS and DntR gave the right size bands when run on an 1% agarose gel. Pu colony failed to give any PCR product. See the pictures of the gels here.
