Culture and harvest
- Preculture transformed media 1.5ml for 10~14 hours, 180rpm/30℃.
- Culture 15μl preculture media in polymer producing media for 48hours, 180rpm/30℃.
- Centrifuge for 10min, 5000rpm.
- Remove supernatant and add 500ml ROwater and suspend it.
- Centrifuge again for 10min, 5000rpm and remove its supernatant.
- Freeze in -80℃ for more than 3hours.
- Freeze-dry for more than 48hours.
Polymer extraction and purification
- Move dried up bacteria into test tube.
- Break up them to separate and add 10ml chloroform.
- Incubate for 48hour at 60C.
- Make it filtered through PTFE and move it into another test tube.
- Volatilize organic solvent by exposing air and separate polymer.
- Add 5ml hexane and voltex for a minute. After centrifuging (1,500rpm, 10min), remove the clear layer.
- Volatilize chloroform by exposing air again.
- Add 5ml MtOH, voltex for a minute, centrifuge (1,500rpm, 10min), and remove the clear layer.
Preparation for GC/MS
