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. |

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!
