Lab protocols

On this page you can find a list of important standard protocols we used in our project.

Preparation of chemocompetent DH5-alpha cells

  • liquid cultures, OD_600 of 0,6-0,8
  • centrifugation at 4 °C, 4500 g, 10 min
  • decantation
  • resuspend with 40 ml inoune transformation buffer
  • repeat centrifugation, decantation and resuspendation
  • centrifuge and decantate again
  • resuspend in 20 ml inoune transformation buffer
  • add 1,5 ml DMSO
  • shock freeze in liquid nitrogen

Retransformation of BioBricks

  • add 10 µl sterile dest water to DNA on plate
    • incubate for 10 min
    • take 2 µl, leave rest on plate
    • store plates at -20 °C
  • add the 2 µl DNA solution to 5 µl competent DH5-alpha
    • incubate for 30 min on ice
    • heat shock for 45 s at 42 °C
    • incubate 3 min on ice
    • add 250 µl LB medium of 37 °C
    • incubate for 45 min at 37 °C, 800 rpm

Transformation of Ligations (in DH5alpha or XL1Blue)

  • thaw bacteria on ice or carefully in your hand
  • add 2-4µl Ligation mixture to 50µl bacteria
  • incubate 30min on ice
  • heat shock 30s-45s (XL1Blue preferably 35s) at 42°C
  • incubate 6min on ice
  • add 250µl prewarmed LB medium (37°C)
  • incubate for 45min at 37°C, 800rpm
  • plate 300µl on apropiate antibiotic
  • dry 15min at room temperature
  • incubate at 37°C over night
