Maia checked the presence and size of (*m*) and (*s*) 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 (*m*) and (*s*) 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.
Label B1 B3 C5 Gene (*m*) (*s*) (*m*) Colony 17,18,19,26 20 25,24 Primers (*m*)_for_1 + Methyl _2 (*s*)_for_1 + Oxy_2 (*m*)_for_1 + (*m*)_rev_1 (NB - For each 2 x 10µl was sent)
- Christine repeated the cloning of the 7-gene operon into TOPO vector using fresh PCR product. The PCR performed was a repeat of the PCR from 31/07. 4 µl of PCR product was cloned into TOPO vector. (see Protocol 12)
Tuesday 7th August 2007
- Christine transformed TOP10 cells with TOPO vector containing the 7 gene operon.
- (*d→g*) were amplified again with KOD XL and KOD using the respective programs (see Protocol 9). Primers used: (*d*)_for_1 and (*g*)_rev_1 .Expected size is 3.5 kb.

A digest scheme was designed to allow for the insertion of our biobricks into construction vectors.
Biobricks : DntR, (*s*), (*m*), XylR, XylR + Pr, Pr, Pu Construction Vectors: 3/20G, 4/6B, 4/50
