04/02 Wednesday - Cultivating E. coli Nissle 1917

LB plates were produced without antibiotic. Therefore 10 ml MQ-H2O were sterile filtered in 15 ml falcon tube. 1 capsule Mutaflor 331800 was solved in the sterile water. The E. coli Nissle solution was incubated at 37°C and 200 rpm for 1 h and crossed out at 4 plates to get different dilution of cells.

dilution E. coli Nissle solution H2O dilution factor
I 2 µl 1998 µl 1:103
II 100 µl from dilution I 900 µl 1:104
III 10 µl from dilution II 990 µl 1:105
           
            

04/03 Thursday - Genomic DNA extraction of ECN - first step

For extraction of the genomic DNA of E. coli Nissle, 2 E. coli colonies were picked from LB plate (dilution 1:103) and used for inoculation of 6 ml LB precultures. These were grown over night at 37°C and 200 rpm.

04/04 Friday - Genomic DNA extraction of ECN - second step

For preparation of the genomic DNA 1 ml of each preculture was taken and a genomic extraction performed using the Wizard Genomic DNA purification Kit. See instructions of the purification Kit by Promega. Genomic DNA was stored at 12°C in fridge. As E. coli Nissle is a natural organism without resistence genes both precultures were streaked out on LB, LB+KAN and LB+AMP. All plates were incubated over the weekend at 37°C. DNA concentration was measured by 260 nm using Goldi. DNA was diluted 1:40 in a UV cuvette and DNA absorption measured at 260/28 nm in goldi.
'''For genomic DNA:'''
1: 1390 ng/µl
2: 988 ng/µl

04/05 Saturday - Genomic DNA extraction of ECN - results

Bacteria growth only on LB plate indicates that there was no contamination with AMP or KAN resistant E. coli. This doesn´t mean that there is no contamination at all. See for sure on PCR.

           Transformation of pQE_80L into DH5alpha
           Plasmid from plasmid database of TU workgroup by Prof. Budisa was taken: 
plasmid ID: 4; concentration = 308 ng/µl
           Unthaw 50 µl aliquot of DH5alpha or BL21 DE3 gold on ice for 10 min.Than Use 308 ng and 616 ng of plasmids to bind on Ca2+-surface of the cell membranes. Heat shock was performed for 30-90 s. The cells were incubated on ice for 2 min and then there was added 950 µl LB media. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 60 min. After this 70 µl of transformed E. coli suspension was streaked out onto a plate with the appropriate selection marker. The plate was incubated over night at 37°C. To prepare preculture 2 colonies were picked and added into 5 ml LB media + 5 µl AMP. The precultures were incubated over night at 37°C and 200 rpm.

07/01 Tuesday - ATPCS Ligation

The ligation of ATPCS was checked with 1% Agarose gel (stained with ethidiumbromid) after colony pcr.

07/02 Wednesday - Knockout of Fief and Fur in RV308 and Nissle

To prepare the knockout 5 µl CM solution (pFerritin with canamycin resistance cassette)and 500 µl culture solution were added to 5 ml LB media. For each stain two samples were determined (RV1/2 and N1/2). The samples were incubated at 37°C up to an OD600 of 0.53-0.55. After incubation 1 ml of each culture was transferred in sterile eppi and washed for 7 min at 7000 rpm and 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, the pellet was resuspended in 1 ml sterile H2O and washed for 7 min at 7000 rpm and 4°C and discarded the supernatant. The pellet of N1 was resuspended in 25 µl pRFP (c = 41 ng/µl) and 25 µl sterile H2O. The pellets of N2 and RV1/2 were resuspended in 2 µl pRFP and 50 µl sterile H2O. 50 µl of each suspension were transferred in electroporation cuvette and electroporated for a few sec (table below). Directly after this, 1 ml fresh LB media (37°C) was added, the suspension was transferred in a sterile eppi and incubated at 37°C at 600 rpm. The cultures were recovered, deleted on CM+Amp plates and incubated at 37°C ove night.

Site-directed mutagenesis was performed by the QuickChange method
Primer design with http://www.bioinformatics.org/primerx/ methionine (on position 52) was substituted by histidine BFR M52H

08/07 Thursday

Analyzing 2 colonies of pQE80L_ATPCS whether ATPCS was inserted by sequencing revealed no proper results.
Tested by colony PCR (see protocols) using 55°C Annealing temp and 2' Elongation time (expected bands should be 2000bps).
Gel showed PCR was about 500 bp big -> ATPCS NOT INSERTED.

             - BamHI_Ferritin_HindIII was PCR purified
             - DNA concentration measurement for  purified pcr fragments:

             Assembly PCR
             An Assembly PCR was used to align BamHI_PPMT_GS with GS_ATPCS_HindIII and amplify the complementary structure in order to form a fusion protein coding sequence.
             Therefore, both fragments were added a templated equal molar amounts.

             -Cells grew
             -no red fluorescence observed
             -no Magnetization observed
             Possible Explanation:
             - Adding Mn ions instead of Fe could be effected the Magnetization 
             - The red Fluorescence gen contains a cadaverin chain, this could explain the non-fluorescence.

10/10 Friday - STRATEGY 1 - Knockout of FieF and FUR Genes

Detection PCR kan-deletion-cassette for FieF and FUR Genes was transformed into 2 different strains (MG1655 and λ MAGE). Additionally pCP20 was already transformed into one of the λ MAGE Clones (has to be re-validated).
The positive clones have to be validated.
Detection-PCR of one clone of Plates 1-3:
Plate 1: MG1655 ΔFieF
Plate 2: λ ΔFieF + pCP20
Plate 3: λ ΔFUR
