• S.cerevisiae 3095 with URA- mutation were obtained from Dr. Itay Onn (faculty of medicine of Bar Ilan University) and were isolated from YEPD plates.

• Isolation streak of Brett on selection medium- specific YEPD media.

29.8.17

• Colonies from Brett isolation appeared.

• Colonies that appeared were tested using PCR with specific primers (from Prof. Martin Goldway lab) for Brett detection- PB2, RUX, DB, and NLS. We got negative results- no PCR product.

• We got pRS306/316 from Dr. Itay Onn.

• Transformation into TOP-10 competent cells:

  • Preparation of competent TOP10 e.coli bacteria for heat-shock transformation (we used this protocol – לתת לינק לדף פרוטוקול מספר 9)

  • T--Tel-Hai--dana-in-the-labTransformation for plasmids pRS306 + pRS316 into competent cells was performed using Heat-shock protocol then incubated O.N.

• A new sample of Brett was tested:

• Sample was sawn on YEPD selective Brett plates for colony isolation.

• Isolated colonies were analyzed by PCR with specific primers for Brett strains - PB2, RUX, DB, and NLS.
