V08_06


V08_06_1 Motility assay with MG1655 and RP437
  • Experiment:
    Over night cultures of MG1655 and RP437 were adjusted to an OD600 of 0,1. A dilution series up to 10^-4 was prepared. 200 µl of each dilution was plated out on tryptone swimming agar. Plates were incubated over night at 30°C.
  • Observations & Results:
    Plating out on semisolid tryptone agar appears to be difficult. Glass pearls sink in tryptone swimming agar.

    • V08_06_2 Overnight cultures
  • Experiment:
    5ml LB-medium containing amp was inoculated with group 2 constructs FliC (DH10B and Salmonella), MotA, MotB, yhjH and the control puc18 in BL21 and DH10B. To test over night growth in other media, also M9-minimal media and 1% tryptone media were inoculated with the same strains. 5 ml LB-medium was inoculated with MG1566 and RP437 were in
  • Observations & Results:
    DH5a and XL1 blue was not used anymore to test the constructs, because these E.coli stems show very low motility.

V08_07


V08_07_1 Motility assay with MG1655 and RP437 of V08_03_2
  • Experiment:
    MG1655 and RP437 were picked of plates from V08_03_2 and solved in LB-agar. 1 µl of the strains were dropped in a grit with 1 cm distance to each next drop on fresh 0,3% LB-swimming plates. The experiment was conducted in two replicates.
  • Observations & Results:
    Almost all drops grew well. Few MG1655 drops showed swimming.

    • V08_07_2 Motility assay with MG1655 and RP437 from over night cultures
  • Experiment:
    Over night cultures from V08_06_2 were used to prepare a dilution series with LB-medium up to 10^-3. The dilution series were dropped in a grit with 1 cm distance to each next drop on fresh 0,3% LB-swimming plates. The strains BL21_rfp and BL21_FlhDC were also dropped out to have a motility reference of putative slower E.coli strains.
  • Observations & Results:
    Almost all drops grew well. Few MG1655 drops showed swimming.

    • V08_07_3 Motility assay with BL21 and DH10B strains from over night cultures V08_06_2
  • Experiment:
    The OD600 of the different over night cultures was measured. Fresh LB- and M9-Medium was inoculated in order to reach a OD600 of 0,1. All strains were grown for 6 hours at 37°C. Only the strains incubated in LB-medium were used in the following steps. The cultures were spun down for 5 mins at 5k X g. The supernatant was discarded. Afterwards, replicates were treated in different ways: One charge was washed with CT-buffer and centrifuged again for 5 min at 5k X g, the other one was dropped immeadiatly. 5 µl of the strains were dropped on fresh M9-minimal plates with 100 µl in Whatman Paper in the center of the plate. Plates were incubated over night at 30°C.
  • Observations & Results:
    Almost now growth after wash treatment with CT-buffer. The washing process has a very negative influence. Also, the density of the cultures might not have been big enough for growth. Some of the non-washed BL21 cultures displayed growth and minor swimming after 2 days. M9-medium is not suitable for over night cultures!


V08_08


V08_08_1 Chemical transformation of tar-18C in E .coli DH10B Δtar
  • Experiment:
    The transformation was performed together with group 2 and is described in their notebook.
  • Observations & Results:
    J62001 was used as a plasmid backbone because it offers a amp resistance. Also both constructs, for the tar-rescue construct behind the constitutive promoter and der rfp reporter gene behind the same promoter are on the same plasmid. Therefore, these constructs can be used in a separation assay.
