September 5

WET LAB

Results of the Pre-experiments of the September 2 WET LAB
In these results it was not obtained any kind of fluorescence. We discarded everything used on it and reviewed possible causes of error: It’s possible that other things have grown, but they must be resistant to the chloramphenicol as the bacteria too.


Human Practices

We introduced the theoretical framework of the modeling, we put the hyperlinks whose contain the information of the biobricks.

WET LAB

Objetive :Transformation of competent cells with BBa_K381001
Protocol of transformation was carried out, to transformer competent cells with BBa_K381001. We prepared 15mL LB which were added 14.56µL of chloramphenicol, with an amount enough to prepare 3 petri dishes (2 positive controls and 1 negative control).

    2. 1 tube for negative control without KNO3
  3. Set B, at 37°C:
    1. 2 tubes with 500µL KNO3 + 9.7µL chloramphenicol stock solution + BBa_K381001 (Aug 12, 2011) in 10mL LB.
    2. 1 tube for negative control without KNO3
  4. Put it in the incubator

Objective: prepare 250 mL of competent cells

1. Take an 100 mL aliquot of frozen cells from the -80oC and innoculate about 500 ml to 1 L sterile LB broth. DO NOT ADD antibiotic, since these cells do not have an plasmid in them. Work as sterile as possible. 2. Grow the cells on a shaker at 37oC until they reach an OD @ 600nm of 0.3 to 0.4 (1 cm pathlength). 3. Centrifuge in the Sorvall GSA rotor (250 ml centrifuge bottle) at 5,000 RPM for 10 minutes at 4oC. Ice down 100 mM CaCl2 and 100 mM MgCl2 solutions at this point. 4. Gently resuspend the bacteria pellet on ice in 1/4 volume of ice cold MgCl2 , taking 3 to 5 minutes for this procedure. Centrifuge he cell suspension at 4,000 RPM in the Sorvall GSA rotor for 10 minutes. 5. Resuspend the bacteria pellet on ice in 1/20 volume of ice cold CaCl2 and then add an addional 9/20 volume of CaCl2. Keep this suspension on ice for at least 20 minutes. 6. Centrifuge the cell suspension at 4,000 RPM in the GSA rotor for 10 minutes and resuspend the cell pellet in 1/50 volume of ice cold, sterile 85 mM CaCl2 in 15% glycerol w/v. Dispense in 100 mL aliquots and freeze cells at -80oC.

NOTES: The cells were grown the previous day.

We passed 250 ml of cells to 5 falcon tubes of 50 mL.
