Bacterial Transformation

Bacteria:T10
Reporters:
  • RFP: P1-18F K
  • GFP: P1-14K A
  • CFP: P1-6A A
  • YFP: P2/24E AK
  • OFP: P2/13N K

  • Violecein P3/12B T

  • Vio operon ABCE P3/20J K
  • CelEBI w/RRS P3/6H A
  • CelEBY w/RRS P3/6L H
Protocol:
  1. Keep constantly the cells on ice
  2. Rehydratation of DNA in 10uL H2O 2) Add 1 uL of DNA in 50 uL of T10
  3. Incubate 30 min on ice
  4. Heat shock the cells during 30 sec at 42 degree Celsius in a water-bath without shaking
  5. Put 2 min on ice
  6. Add 500 uL of pre warmed SOC-medium
  7. Incubate 1h at 37 degree Celsius at 225 rpm
  8. Spin at 5000 rpm during 30 sec
  9. Remove 150 uL - 400 uL of supernatant
  10. Resuspend the pellet in the 150 uL left
  11. Spread on appropriate plates
  12. Incubate overnight at 37 degree Celsius

Gel migration 1

  • Gel preparation: 25mL agarose+TAE (freezer) + 2microL BET
  • Sample preparation:
    • DNA Ladder 1kB: 1microL ladder + 1microL loading buffer + 4microL ddH2O
    • Digested RFP, YFP, CFP, GFP, pCS2+ (from 28 june): 10microL sample + 2microL loading buffer
  • 100V, 1h
