Methods for characterization of LuxBrick (K325909)
Pick a single colony from a transformed plate of K325909. Grow in LB media with chloramphenicol 30ug/mL O/N at 30°C.
Measure OD at 600nm, then dilute to OD600=0.6 following direct C*V ratio to obtain bacterial stock for experiments.
Induce with 3mM (L)-Arabinose (final concentration).
Alicuot 600uL of bacteria and add LB media with chloramphenicol 30ug/mL + additives and inducers up to 1.5mL. This will yield a 0.24 OD600nm.
Grow at 30°C for 1.5 hours (or at chosen T° condition for characterization).
Alicuot 100uL into 4 wells (at least) of a 96 well falcon plate (plaque?).
Measure luminescence in a ThermoScientific Luminoskan Ascent Microplate Luminometer.
