Transformation of plasmids pET 43.1a and pSB1C3 in E. coli DH5-α competent cells, in order to constitute a stock of empty vectors for our further experiments.

Bacteria transformed with pET43.1a did not grow. Bacteria transformed with pSB1C3 did grow. One colony was placed in liquid culture and we let grow overnight.

Midiprep of bacteria containing pSB1C3.

Transformation of our first sequences from Eurofins in E. coli DH5-α:
- 3a_NGF construction Part1 (Seq#1)
- 3a_NGF construction Part2 (Seq#2)
- T7 RIP construction (Seq#8)

All the bacteria were successfully transformed with the different plasmids. One colony from each plate was placed in liquid culture and let grow overnight.

Midiprep of:
- Seq#1
- Seq#2
- Seq#8

Culture of strain HB2151 transformed with pVDL 9.3 (received on 23.07.2018 from Victor de Lorenzo).

Biofilm culture on filter (0.2μm).

Transformations: To create a stock
-seq#5, seq#7 (detection) from Eurofins
-plasmids pET 43.1 and pBR322 (expression plasmids)

Biofilm culture on filter after 24 hours incubation did grow. Bacteria transformed with pET43.1a did not grow. Overnight liquid culture of seq#5, seq#7 and plasmid pBR322.

Midiprep of plasmid pVDL 9.3 and measure DNA concentration with nanodrop.

Midiprep of seq#5, seq#7 and plasmid pBR322 contained in DH5α strain and measure DNA concentration with nanodrop.

Preparing cultures for stocks: we set some pre-cultures of seq#5, seq#7 and pBR322, in order to make some stocks to store at -80°C.

Digestion, electrophoresis on agar gel, DNA gel extraction of seq#8 and pBR322.

Ligation of linearized pBR322 and our insert seq#8 with the in-fusion kit and transformation of pBR322 + seq#8 in Stellar competent cells.

Transformation of seq#6 (detection) received from Eurofins in E. coli DH5-α.

Overnight liquid culture of DH5-α with seq#6.

Overnight liquid culture of Stellar competent cells transformed with pBR322 + Seq8.

Transformation of seq#3 (NGF-GFP) from Eurofins and commercial pET43.1a.

Miniprep, digestion and electrophoresis on agar gel of pBR322 + seq#8 from Stellar competent cells and Nanodrop.

Midiprep of seq#6 plasmid from DH5-α and nanodrop.

Digestion, electrophoresis on agar gel and gel extraction of pET 43.1a, seq#1 and Seq#2.

Ligation of linearized pET43.1a and our inserts Seq#1,2 with the in-fusion kit. Transformation in Stellar Competent cells.

Electrophoresis agar gel of the miniprep of the ligated plasmid (pBR322 + seq#8) from Stellar, WRONG ENZYMES USED FOR THE DIGESTION.

2^nd Electrophoresis agar gel of the miniprep of the ligated plasmid (pBR322 + seq#8) from Stellar, using the correct enzymes.

Overnight liquid culture of pET43 1.a.

Overnight liquid culture of Stellar transformed with pET43 1.a-seq#1-seq#2.

Midiprep of seq#3 plasmid from transformed Stellar competent cells.

Digestion, electrophoresis on agar gel and gel extraction of pBR322, seq#5, seq#6 and seq#7.

Ligation of linearized pBR322 and our insert seq#8.

Miniprep of plasmid pET43.1a and nanodrop.

Miniprep of construction pET43.1a + seq#1 + seq#2.
