Protocols

Glycerol stock-preservation
  1. Add one ml sterile 50% glycerol to a cryotube.
  2. Add one ml overnight culture to a cryotube from step 1
  3. Store at -80 °C

PCR
  • Make a mastermix of the reagents that are common for all reactions. Make enough for 0,5 extra reaction. Add reagents in the order they are listed above.
  • The polymerase stock must only be taken out of the freezer when needed and must be put back immediately after use.
  • Remember to mix thoroughly before aliquotting to separate PCR tubes, and try not to make any bubbles. Reverse pipetting works well for aliquoting.
  • Mark the PCR tubes on lid and side and place in thermocycler.
  • The annealing temperature should match the primer melting temperatures. This can be hard as Tm predictors tend to disagree.
  • Elongation time should be AT LEAST 30 seconds per kb of the longest expected fragment (for the X7 polymerase).

Recipe on M9 minimal media
  1. Make M9 salts
  2. To make M9 Salts aliquot 800ml H2O and add
    • 64g Na2HPO4-7H2O
    • 15g KH2PO4
    • 2.5g NaCl
    • 5.0g NH4Cl
    • Stir until dissolved
    • Adjust to 1000ml with distilled H2O
    • Sterilize by autoclaving
  3. Measure ~700ml of distilled H2O (sterile)
  4. Add 200ml of M9 salts
  5. Add 2ml of 1M MgSO4 (sterile)
  6. Add 20 ml of 20% glucose (or other carbon source)
  7. Add 100ul of 1M CaCl2 (sterile)
  8. Adjust to 1000ml with distilled H2O

Glycerol stock-preservation
  1. Add one ml sterile 50% glycerol to a cryotube.
  2. Add one ml overnight culture to a cryotube from step 1
  3. Store at -80 °C
Motivation
I joined iGEM in order to take part in a project where the students have more control and responsibility than other projects at DTU. It was also a motivation being part of a team, as large projects at DTU most often are individual.

How do you prefer spinach?
I prefer spinach in a salad with strawberry, red onion, pine nuts, feta and a dressing with Balsamico vinegar, oil, sugar, soy sauce and tabasco.

Motivation
As a student at DTU you get to do plenty of project work, however it is mostly carried out individually or in a small group, with very specific goals and a high degree of supervision. iGEM offers the opportunity to work on a much larger project with a high degree of autonomy, where everything from the overall goals and strategy to design of experiments is left for the students to manage. This provides a great opportunity to experience the challenges of actual research projects

Major contributions


How do you prefer spinach?
Luminescent and far away from my taste buds.
