What techniques are best to confirm construction of complementary strain?

06 June 2014 1 10K Report

After constructing a mutant bacterial strain, I have to construct complementary strain. How can I confirm expression of gene of interest in complementary strain? Which techniques can be used for this purpose?

Jennifer Gibbons

RT-PCR? Or, if the gene is expressed, western blot?
