Liquid culture of aux and RFP

Wednesday, 20th June

Previous work :

Liquid culture of DH5a with mRFP and auxin plasmid

Main goals:

1. Auxin toxicity test
2. Bacterial integration assessment into the xenopus embryos

Experiments

1. Xenopus embryos present a protective membrane, we decided to realize our bacterial deposits experiments on xenopus with and without their membrane. Then, we could see if bacterias could enter into the embryos naturally.
2. On 96 plates :
   '''Plate 1'''
   each plate contain : 1 embryo
   Line A & B = on embryos without protective membrane : 500 uL mRFP plasmid on DH5a deposite + 1mL LB + 1mL MMR medium
   Line C : 1 2 3 : normal embryos : 500 uL mRFP plasmid on DH5a deposite + 1mL (LB + MMR medium)
   
   Line E & F = embryos without protective membrane : 500 uL AUX plasmid integrated on DH5a deposit + 1mL LB + 1mL MMR medium
   Line G & M1-6 = normal embryos : 500 uL AUX plasmid integrated on DH5a deposit + 1mL LB + 1mL MMR medium
   Line M7-9 = normal embryos : controls
   '''Plate 2''' normal embryos only Line A & B
   Line C : LB/MMR medium
   Line D : RFP 0.1uL
   Line E : AUX 0.1uL
   Line G & H : LB/MMR medium only (no embryos)
   
3. On '''16 Plates'''
   
   Tadpoles experimentations :
   ''each plate contains 3 tadpoles''
   Line A : 0.5uL RFP bacteria
   Line B1 : 0.3uL RFP bacteria
   

We put this plate on UV light 15min after the deposit:
