Transformation of Pseudovrbrio with pBBR1MCS and pRhokHI-2 - Confirmation
The previous digestion could fail because of the too little time of incubation (15min). We re-try to make the digestion with an incubation of 1 hour.

There was a problem with the digestion. We are going to try with another enzyme.

Stock of pBBR1MCS and pRhokHI-2
To remake a stock of these plasmids, we showed a colony of E.Coli transformed in a new LB 1X + Cam (1:1000) culture of 3mL.

Transformation of Pseudovrbrio with pBBR1MCS and pRhokHI-2 - Confirmation

We made a restriction control of our plasmid, and we tried to prove that these plasmids are present in our Pseudovibrio.
After made a purification of plasmids in A1 and A2 with NucleoSpin Plamsid Kit (Macherey Nagel), we obtained concentrations at 380.1 ng/µL for pRhokHI-2 and at 91.1 ng/µL for pBBR1MCS.

We disgested these sample and our stock of pRhokHI-2 and pBBR1MCS with XbaI (unique restriction site on these plasmids) and we have make migrate the product of digestion.

There was a problem with the digestion. We are going to try with a longer time of incubation.

Stock of pBBR1MCS and pRhokHI-2
To remake a stock of these plasmids, we put in liquid LB+Cam (1:1000) culture, a colony from a LB+Cam plate of E.Coli transformed.

New stock of electro competents Pseudovribio

We choose to make a new stock of electro competent Pseudovibrio denitrificans.
We made a culture of 100mL from a pre-culture of 10mL made the 04/09.
The new stock was test on plates MB 1X with Cam and Kan (1:1000).

    NB: The negative control with E.Coli does'nt work on any plates. The culture was probably too old.

    A problem occurs with stocks of electro-competent Pseudovibrio because wa can see that it growth on Kanamycine 1:1000. On Chloramphenicol, the contamination does'nt seem to grow.
    We have to prove that it's Pseudovibrio wich growth on Chloramphenicol.

    Amplification of pRhokHI-2 in E.Coli Bl21 - Results
    After incubation overnight we can see some colonies of E.Coli Bl21 transformed on LB+Cam 1:1000 and on LB+Kan 1:1000. Our Bl21 which had not been transformed doesn't growth on these media but both grow on LB only. We had well success to tranform E.Coli and amplifly the plasmid.

    Transfo2


    We tranfered two colonies into liquid MB+Kan(1:1000) and let them in incubator overnight to have a pre-culture for the plasmid purification with NucleoSpin Plamsid Kit (Macherey Nagel).

    The transformation of E.Coli with pRhokHi-2 still didn't works. We still have to amplify it so we re-tried to the tranformation (1µL of plasmid for 40µL of cells, 1800V).
    This time, after a liquid culture of only one hours cells were plated on LB 1X + Kan (1:1000), LB 1X + Cam (1:1000), and LB only and let in incubator overnight.

    We saw no colony on our plates. We decided to test our two replicates of transformation on MB 1X plates with other concentrations of antibiotic. We made three plates with Cam 1:5000, and 1:10 000, then Pseudovibrio were showed on them and let overnight in incubator.

    New stocks are ready for antibiotics' tests on Pseudovribrio

    Launch of antibiotics's tests in liquid M9 1X
    For each tested antibiotic we made the following range of concentrations:

    0 1:500 1:1000 1:50 000 1:100 000

    We made these range two time to have a replicate and we added a controle tube without antibiotic for each bacteria. Each tube is made like in the following table in Falcon tubes (15mL):


    / 0 1:500 1:1000 1:50 000 1:100 000
    Medium+agar 3mL 3mL 3mL 3mL 3mL

    Pre-culture 300µL 300µL 300µL 300µL 300µL

    For each range, we test Pseudovibrio denitrificans but also E.Coli and E.Coli tranformed with a speicific resistance cassette (NM:The E.Coli strain for the control case is the same strain that is tranformed for the cassette efficiency test). The initial OD at 600nm of each bacteria has been mesured to after be able to calculate the ΔOD at 600nm, during three days.

    Plates for antibiotics's tests
    For each tested antibiotic we made the same range of concentrations than in liquid. We also made these range two time to have a replicate and we added a controle plate without antibiotic on which we showed all our tested bacteria. Plates will be checked during three days. We made these same ranges of tested antibiotic's concentrations for three media:

    • MB agar 1X
    • MB agar 0.5X
    • M9 agar 1X

    Each plate is made like in the following table:

    There was a problem with the stock of Kanamycine so we made a new one at 25mg/mL. For the erythrompycine, we learn that E. Coli is not really sensitive to this antibiotic and that it's better to use it with a dilution at 1:100.

    Tests of antibiotics' stocks
    Six plates of LB agar were made. Five of them contained one of those antibiotics in the dilution 1:1000:

  • Chloramphénicol
  • Kanamycin
  • Erythromycin
  • Ampicilin
  • Tetracyclin
    (The last one was the control of the growth of our bacteria without antibiotics) We sowed 10µL of a liquid LB culture of Bl21, and we let them incubate overnight at 37°C.

    Survivability tests
    Two plates of MB 1X and M9 1X were made and divised in two parts. Each plate was sowed with 5µL of a liquid MB 1X culture of Pseudovibrio denitrificans(dated 12th August) in a part and with 5µL of a liquid M9 1X culture Pseudovibrio denitrificans (dated 12th August) in the other part.

    Pre-cultures
    Cultures in MB 1X and M9 1X of Pseudovibrio were passed by a 1/10 dilution and let incubate overnight at 30°C. New cultures of different E.Coli were also started from glycerol or plate and let incubated overnight at 37°C.

    From glycerol stocks:
  • Bl21
  • Top10
  • DH5a

    From plates:
  • DH5a tranformed with pCB1C3 (CamR)
  • Top10 transformed with pQexp (ErmR)
  • DH5a pyr tranformed with pMK2 (KanR)

    Bacteria tranformed with plasmid were cultivated with the corresponding antibiotic for the selection. For each medium we make a negative contrôle without bacteria.
