Making LB for plates


To make 1 Liter of LB:

1. Always use a 10:5:5 ratio of Tryptone to Yeast Extract to NaCl.

2. Add dry ingredients first.

3. Use a 2L flask.
- Add the following
- 10 g Tryptone
- 5 g Yeast Extract
- 5 g NaCl
- 1.5 g Agar (NOT agarose!)

4. Then add 1 L of MilliQ water.

5. Autoclave by total volume.

6. Pour 25 mL on each plate (just enough to cover the bottom).

Making Liquid Media


Always use a 5-2.5-2.5 ratio of Tryptone to Yeast Extract to NaCl Add dry ingredients first, then add MilliQ water No Agar! Autoclave by total volume

Making Glycerol Stock


To make 400 mL of 10% glycerol you will need:

-40 mL glycerol

-360 mL of MilliQ water

To make 400 mL of 20% glycerol you will need:

-80 mL glycerol
-320 mL of MilliQ water

1. Use flasks and bottles before graduated cylinders (they take forever to mix!)

2. Need a stir plate and a large stir bar

3. Stir until mixture is homogeneous

4. Don’t autoclave!

Making ddH2O


- Use the small bottles.

- Autoclave water by total volume.

Autoclaving


- Robert is the source of official help on all things about the Autoclave.

1. Look at the Betastar for settings.

2. Go by materials and total volume.

Use the autoclave tape and make sure it has changed colour by the end of the cycle.

Ligation


- We used the Ginkgo bioworks protocol

- Control: 2 uL of Circular PSB1C3 plasmid, 13 uL ddH2O, 2 uL T4 ligase buffer, 1 uL T4 ligase

- P&C: 2 uL of Circular PSB1C3 plasmid, 2 uL of PUF, 11 uL ddH2O, 2 uL T4 ligase buffer, 1 uL T4 ligase

- L&P: 2 uL of linear PSB1C3 plasmid, 2 uL of PUF, 11 uL ddH2O, 2 uL T4 ligase buffer, 1 uL T4 ligase
