Are there simple and efficient methods for extraction both RNA and DNA from the same sample of Gram-positive bacteria?

I am working with highly mutagenized Bacilli species and wish to measure expression level of my favorite genes by real-time PCR. As I know, there are no reliable internal reference genes for...

Do you know a protocol for chemical transformation for Debaryomyces hansenii?

I am trying to delete a gene of interest in D.hansenii. There is a protocol for transformation of this yeast by electroporation, but for me it is more convenient to use chemical transformation....

What do you do if you have troubles with cloning into a plasmid vector?

My colleagues and I have an experience of successful cloning into various plasmid vectors. We noticed that it is hard to clone some inserts into one vectors, while the same inserts can be readily...

What could be the reason behind an unexpectedly low weight band of 3xHA tagged large protein on western-blot?

We have cloned a yeast gene for a large protein (ca mass about 93 kDa) together with its native promoter into plasmid where our protein is C-terminally tagged with 3xHA epitope. Insert together...

Is it possible for a mutation in the yeast genome to be repaired upon URA3 marker excision?

In yeast genome we have introduced a mutation which replaces transcription factor (TF) binding site to site for restriction endonuclease. The integration marker is URA3. The correctness of marker...

How to optimize conditions for expression of chimeric membrane proteins in E.coli?

I try to display an enzyme on the surface of E.coli cells. To do this I have made a chimeric protein consisting of signal peptide (SP) - enzyme (E) - outer membrane protein of E.coli (MP). The...

Can LB media inhibit IPTG-induced protein expression?

I failed to induce expression of my protein in BL21(pLysS) from pET11c. I obtain the cell culture by growing individual colonies from the plate on LB to OD600 0.5-1. Protein expression is induced...
