lamda phage

Infectiontest

  • inoculation of 20ml medium with over night culture (MG1655)
  • after 1h plaque added --> 37C for 2h + inoculation of ZMBH phage (100ql 10^-2 in 20ml MG1655)
  • incubation at 42C for 2 more hours
  • sterilefiltration + mix with growing bacteria (MG1655 and MG1655+cI)
  • incubate in soft agar at 37C for 2h, than at 42C for another 4h (altogether 24 plates)
  • phage DNA was also isolated from filtrate
  • results:
    • same amount of plaques on plates with MG1655 as with MG1655+cI
    • nearly no plaques on plates with own phage --> very low phage concentration
    • --> cI does not work!!!!
  • growing curve

project planning

Guys, we received this email by another professor in the states. sounds good. we should get this helper plasmids in the end :)

I have sent pUB307, RSF1010, pED350, pED361, which are described in our two MGG papers. Also two clones I made of the oriT from RP1; pED369 and pED374. There are 10microl of each. The DNAs are old (1983!) and so I would transform and make fresh plasmid preps.

pED350 is oriT+ and Mob+, so it is efficiently mobilised by RPI or its derivative pUB307. pED361 is oriT+ only. It cannot be mobilised by pUB307 as it lacks mob functions. If RSF1010 is also in the cell pKD361 is very efficiently mobilised by pUB307.

pED369 and pED374 are two subclones I made of the RP1 oriT into pED825 (Amp resistant described in MGG papers). pED374 contains a single 690 bp HaeII fragment containing the RP1 oriT. PED369 contains the 690 bp oriT fragment plus additional HaeII fragments. I sent both just in case the pED374 DNA does not check out. These are efficiently mobilised by pUB307.

I would think cloning this 690 bp fragment into your lambda vector would be the simplest solution; its small and will mobilise in the presence of just pUB307.

Hd-phage-08-08-20-digestion.jpg

  • Lane 0: DNA ladder mix
  • Lane 1: I20260 (SmlI-->251bp, 373bp, 843bp, 918bp, 1284bp)
  • Lane 2: XbaI-XhoI fragment (AgeI-->1.7kb, 7.3kb)
  • Lane 3: large lambda DNA fragments 3µl (15kb, 24.5kb)
  • Results:
    • I20260 seems not to be correct, inoculate overnight cultures from the glycerol stocks again
    • digestion of the XbaI-XhoI fragment with AgeI did not work good, only the 7.3kb fragment can be seen, reasons: wrong buffer concentration, too much enzyme (glycerol) in the reaction
    • large lambda DNA fragment is looking good


lambda phage

  • concentrations of lambda-DNA extractions
    • from Fermentas Phage - plaque 1: 7.5 ng/ul; 1.86
