This is a protocol to do PCR reactions on E. coli cells, directly after a transformation. (See here for colony PCR for yeast cells)

  • Prepare mastermix
  • Divide 19μl/sample over PCR reaction tubes/wells
  • Prepare cells in water
  • Add cell mixture to the mix

Re-suspend cells for each colony in 50μl DNAse free water and then add 1μl of this mix to the reaction.

Do sequencing reaction:
H2O 15.4 μl
Taq PCR Buffer 10X 2 μl
dNTPs (10 mM each) 0.8 μl
MgCl2 (50mM) 0.8 μl
Primer Fwd (10 μM) 0.4 μl
Primer Rev (10 μM) 0.4 μl
Taq polymerase (5U/μl) 0.2 μl

Run using program (bart -> colony PCR or cPCR)

Number of cycles Temperature Duration
1 X 94°C 2 min
35X 94°C 30 sec
52°C 30 sec
72°C 1 min 30 sec
1X 72°C 7 min
