Goal: To obtain single colonies of both Wt and mutant B.Subtilis

We received the wt (1A1) and mutant BKE24040 (isovalerate dehydrogenase beta KO), BKE24050 (isovalerate dehydrogenase alpha KO), BKE24080 (Leucine dehydrogenase KO) from BGSC on 23-06-2014. The wt strain (1A1) was on a paper strip. We received 3 strips from BGSC (Bacillus genetic stock centre). Where as the mutant strains arrived on perti-plates.

Procedure

We plated two strips in two different LBA plates. The plates were free from antibiotics. We placed the strips gently on the LBA and added 1 drop of sterile H2O. After few seconds we streaked the paper strip on the LBA and discarded the strip. The LBA plates were incubated at 37° C. We took single colony from the mutant B.subtilis petri-plates and streaked them on LBA+EM petri plates.

Results

Good growth of both the wt and mutant B.subtilis were observed followed by the overnight incubation

To obtain single colonies of Wt b.Subtilis from 23-06-14 plate

Procedure

we took a single colony and streaked it on a new LBA with and w/o Erythromycin.

Results

No colonies in LBA + EM. Colonies observed in LBA w/o EM

To prepare LBA and LB broth for B.Subtilis mutants

Procedure

We added 2.5 ul of the EM (20mg/ml) to 50ml of LB broth. We added 25 ul of EM to 250 ml of LBA and prepared the plates & stored them at 4° C.

Goal: To prepare 10% glycerol stock of wt and mutant (BKE24040, BKE24050, BKE24080) B.Subtilis

Procedure

We inoculated Single colony of both wt (1A1) and mutant (BKE24040, BKE24050, BKE24080) in 5ml of LB broth supplemented w/o EM for wt and with EM for mutants. Incubated the colonies @ 37°C overnight. After the overnight incubation the tubes were stirred well. 750 ul of the culture is transferred to cryogenic tube and 750 ul of 60% glycerol is added to the culture to obtain 10% glycerol stock.

Entry	Strain	Resistance	Source	Strain	Glycerol Stock Label
sPB.011	BKE24040	EM	BGSC	B.subtilis with 2-oxoisovalerate dehydrogenase beta subunit knockout	G.11
sPB.012	BKE24050	EM	BGSC	B.subtilis with 2-oxoisovalerate dehydrogenase alpha subunit knockout	G.12
sPB.013	BKE24080	EM	BGSC	B.subtilis with leucine dehydrogenase knockout	G.13
sPB.014	1A1	-	BGSC	B.subtilis wt strain	G.14

The cryo tubes were stored at -20°C.
