Procedure
  • Add samples to LB medium, cultivate at 37°C in shaken culture (120 rpm) until reaching a cell density of OD600 0.5A
  • Add IPTG (10 μL) to the sample (25 ml)
  • Cultivate at 37°C in shaken culture (120 rpm) for 3 hours

Note

Transformation (E.coli)

Materials

Sample 10μL
Competent cell 20μL

Procedure
  • Thaw the competent cells on ice
  • Add 10 μL of sample into thawed competent cells
  • Cool an Eppendorf tube, which contains competent cells and samples, with ice for one hour, then Heat shock the cells by immersion in pre-hearted water bath at 41°C for 30 seconds
  • Place the tube on ice for 2 minutes to cool it down
  • At a clean bench, add 1.0 ml of LB medium into the tube and suspend it
  • Incubate the tube at 37°C for 35 minutes
  • Harvest the cells by centrifuge
  • Seed the transformed competent cells onto the agar plate and incubate it at 37°C overnight

Pre-culture

Materials

Sample
Medium 20ml

Procedure
  • Scrape samples from the agar plate and inoculate them on medium
  • Cultivate at 37°C in a shaken culture overnight

Protein Extraction (E.coli)

Materials

Sample
Fast Break Cell Lysis Reagent, 10X (Promega)
50mM potassium phosphate buffer (=pH6.8)
SDS sample buffer

Procedure
  • Separate samples into two and harvest by centrifuge
  • Add potassium phosphate buffer, then mix and remove medium completely
  • Add Fast Break Cell Lysis Reagent, 10X at the ratio of Fast Break Buffer Cell Lysis Readent,10X: Samples=1:9 and extract protein for 15 minutes at room temperature

Colony Sweep

Materials

Sample
Phe-Chl
Cracking solution

Procedure
  • Dispense cracking solution (50 μL) each into Eppendorf tubes
  • Collect the sample and suspend it into cracking solution
  • Incubate at 65°C for 10 minutes
  • Add Phe-Chl and BPB pigment and vortex
  • Centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 5 minutes
  • Check the bands by agar gel electrophoresis

{Sample} 5μL
Agarose gel
2X Loading Buffer Triple Dye (NIPPON GENE) 5μL
1X TAE Buffer

Procedure
  • Set an agarose gel on an electrophoresis chamber
  • Add 1X TAE buffer to the electrophoresis chamber
    Note: Do not generate bubbles under the gel
  • Add 2X loading buffer to electrophoresis samples
  • Apply samples on agarose gel wells
  • Set an appropriate voltage and run the electrophoresis
  • Stop the electrophoresis when the BPB reaches 2/3 of the gel
  • Soak the gel in ethidium bromide and dye it for 20 minutes
  • Place plastic cooking wrap on the trans-illuminator and irradiate UV to the gel on the wrap
  • Take photographs of the gel by using a trans-illuminator
