Agarose gel with PCR products after PCR from E0030 to K1319000
  • as it can be seen on the picture PCR worked with all annealing temperatures, all samples were used for a transformation in DH5α after the restriction with DpnI.

17th

  • the PCR product was purificated and the concentration was measured.
  • Restriktion of PCR product for the insert and E0030 for the vector with EcoRI and PstI with following purification from agarose gel was made.

21st

  • the ligation of PCR product (K1319000) and the vector that was purified from agarose (from E0030) was made.
  • ligated product was tranformed in DH5α.

22nd

  • made 100x stocks for Hartmans minimal medium.
  • made about 25 HM+C plates without glucose.
  • K1319042 was plated on a HM+C plate

23rd

  • made 25 new HM+C plates with 1% agar and 4 g/L glucose
  • added 170 µL of the glucose stock (500 g/L) to the glucose-free HM+C-plates
  • 1 L of sterile HM+glucose was prepared
  • K1319042 was plated on HM+C+Glucose and HM+C+Glucose drops, 3x 5 mL HM+C+Glucose precultures were inoculated (17:00)

24th

  • K1319042 did not grow, neither on the plates, nor on in the liquid media. The most probable cause is that the E. coli is missing some vitamins
  • Based on the [http://openwetware.org/wiki/M9_medium/supplemented M9 recipes by the Knight and Endy labs on OpenWetWare], we made a 20 mL supplement stock solution that can be added to 1x HM media
Component supplement for 1x HM [g/L] final 1x concentration
Casamino acids 2 2 g/L
Thiamine hydrochloride 0.3 300 mg/L
MgSO4/MgSO4*7H2O 0.242 / 0.494 2 mmol/L
CaCl2 0.011 0.1 mmol/L

The powders for 1 L of 1x HM were dissolved in 20 mL of a 10% w/v Casamino acid stock solution and filter-sterilized (.22 µm PES). To make agar chips, we can add 1 mL to the hot agar mixture, together with the three 500 µL 100x stocks for the HM.

We made 250 mL of HM+C+Glucose+Supplements plates with 1.5% agar.

Then we plated the following combinations:

Construct HM+C+Glucose+Supplements LB+C
K1319042 - +
J23101.E0240 + +

We also prepared a 150 mL HM+C+Glucose+Supplements culture with K1319042 to hopefully make agar chips on Friday, July 25th.

Six of last weeks J23115.E0240 clones were plated on LB+C, and 5 mL LB+C precultures were inoculated for plasmid preparation.

25th

The K1319042 strain did not grow on the HM plate, while another strain with the J23101.E0240 construct did. Both have the pSB1C3 backbone. To confirm the plasmids and inserts, we set up a colony PCR:

ID Template Product Length Result
1 J23101.E0240 #5 1233
2 J23101.E0240 #6 1233
3 J23101.E0240 #5 plasmid 1233
4 K1319042 LB colony 2053
5 K1319042 plasmid 2053
6 K731520 GFP plasmid 2437
7 water none

Reaction volume per tube was 15 µL. GoTaq Green Mastermix and the VF2 and VR primers were used. You can find the durations and temperatures the table below:

parameter duration temp [°C]
denature 10:00 95
denature 00:30 95
anneal 00:30 49
elongate 02:36 72
elongate 05:00 72
store forever 8

We mini-prepped the 6 overnight cultures of J23115.E0240 clones. He used 3 mL instead of 1.5 mL culture medium and eluted twice with 25 µL nuclease-free water. Everything else was according to the protocol of the [http://www.gelifesciences.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productById/de/GELifeSciences/28904269 illustra plasmidPrep Mini-Spin Kit].

The resulting DNA concentrations are listed in this table:

clone # concentration [ng/µl]
1 73.5
2 94.5
3 100.5
4 53
5 82
6 138

In the evening, we plated some strains on the different media to investigate why the K3139042 did not grow on the HM+suppl. plate. (Note: In the morning, we re-inoculated the HM+C+suppl. shake flask with cells from the LB-plate and by afternoon the culture did grow to a high cell density.)

Construct Host strain LB+C HM+C+Glucose HM+C+Glucose+supplements
J23101.E0240 NEB10β ++ - ++
K1319042 DH5α ++ - (+)
K131026 NEB10β ++ - -
