Recipes

Media

Recipes for liquid and solid media for bacterial cultivation. Stir until dissolved; sterilize by autoclaving 121 °C. Do not forget a magnetic stirrer.

LB-Medium

• 1 % (w/v) bacto tryptone
• 0.5 % (w/v) bacto yeast extract
• 1 % (w/v) NaCl
• if required: ad 1 % (w/v) agar

M9 Swimming Agar

• 1.25 % (v/v) glycerol
• 20 % (v/v) 5x M9 salt stock solution
• 0.1 % (v/v) of CaCl₂ x 2 H₂O stock solution (20 mg/mL)
• 0.1 % (v/v) MgSO₄ stock solution (0.12 g/mL)
• 0.3 % (w/v) of agar

Tryptone swimming agar

• 1 % (w/v) bacto tryptone
• 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl
• 0.3 % (w/v) agar

Antibiotics

• Stock solutions and concentrations of antibiotics.

Reagent	Abbreviation	Stock Conc. [mg/mL]	Working Conc. [µg/mL]	Dilution	Solvent	Notes
Ampicillin	Amp	100	100	1,000x	ddH2O	Culture plates with Amp can be stored at 4 °C for about 2 weeks. Stock solutions can be stored at 4 °C for 2 weeks but can last as long as 4-6 months when stored at -20 °C.
Chloramphenicol	Cm	20	20	1,000x	EtOH
Kanamycin	Kan	50	50	1,000x	ddH2O	Plates may only last a few weeks at 4 °C.

Supplements

• Aminoacid mix (containing all aminoacids except tryptophane): stocksolution 0.2 % (w/v), varying amounts used in swimming assays, view methods and notebook of group 1

Buffer and Solution

Recipes for stocks of buffers and solutions.

5x M9 salts stock solution

Amount	Substance
64 g	Na2HPO4 × 7 H2O
15 g	KH2PO4
2.5 g	NaCl
5.0 g	NH4Cl
ad 1000 ml	ddH2O

• Stir until dissolved

CaCl₂ Buffer for competent cells

Amount	Substance	Notes
7.351 g	CaCl2 × 7 H2O	Alternative 0.1 M CaCl2
15%	Glycerol
ad 500 ml	ddH2O

• Stir until dissolved; sterilize by sterile filtration.

50x TAE for agarose gels

Amount	Substance
242 g	Tris base
57.1 mL	Glacial acetic acid
18.6 g	EDTA
ad 1000 mL	ddH2O

• Stir until dissolved. Working concentration is 1x (40 mL of 50x stock ad 2 L ddH₂O).

E. coli

Strains

E. coli strain list - List of the working E. coli strains including genotypes, genetic markers, and alleles.

Storage

Storage of E. coli strains - How to keep E. coli strains.

Glycerol Stock

The glycerol stock is prepared as follow:

• 900 µL over night culture in LB-liquid medium
• 900 µL 50 % sterile glycerol

Glycerol is extremely viscous. Hence, use cut off tips to pipette. Glycerol stocks were vortexed to ensure uniformly mixture and shock frozen in N₂ or dry ice. Then, cultures were stored at -80 °C. Do NOT forget to fill in the according GMO S1 construction sheet!
