Culture of Stable strain with biobricks 2008

  • In 6ml LB with adaptated antibiotics
  • Will be use for Miniprep and Stock in glycerol
  • 2 clones isolated by Biobricks
  • O/N at 37°C


Glycerol Stocks

  • 1mL of each culture (with 2 clones) has been added to 1mL of 40% glycerol.
  • For each clone, two glycerol stocks have been done.
  • Stored at -20°C.


Minipreps (Kit Qiagen)

  • Resuspend pelleted bacterial cells in 250 µl Buffer P1 and transfer to a

microcentrifuge tube.

  • Add 250 µl Buffer P2 and mix thoroughly by inverting the tube 4–6 times.

If using LyseBlue reagent, solution turns blue.

  • Add 350 µl Buffer N3 and mix immediately and thoroughly by inverting the tube 4–6

times. If using LyseBlue reagent, solution turns colorless.

  • Centrifuge for 10 min at 13,000 rpm (~17,900 x g) in a table-top microcentrifuge.
  • Apply the supernatant (from step 4) to the QIAprep spin column by decanting or

pipetting.

  • Centrifuge for 30–60 s. Discard the flow-through.
  • Recommended: Wash the QIAprep spin column by adding 0.5 ml Buffer PB and

centrifuging for 30–60 s. Discard the flow-through. This step is only required when using endA+ or other bacteria strains with high nuclease activity or carbohydrate content (see QIAprep Miniprep Handbookfor more details)

  • Wash QIAprep spin column by adding 0.75 ml Buffer PE and centrifuging for

30–60 s.

  • Discard the flow-through, and centrifuge for an additional 1 min to remove residual

wash buffer.

  • To elute DNA, place the QIAprep column in a clean 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add

50 µl Buffer EB or water to the center of each QIAprep spin column, let stand for 1 min, and centrifuge for 1 min.


Qualitative and quantitative analysis by electrophoresis

  • Gel : 0.8 or 1% agarose
  • 10 µL Quick-Load 1 kb DNA Ladder
  • 2 µL LB + 3 µL DNA

=> Comparing the concentration of the miniprep thanks to the ladder

      Check if the mesured size corresponds with the expecting size.
