DMSO stocks
- Make an overnight culture of the bacteria in LB broth (If the strain carries a resistance gene on a plasmid, you have to use LB with antibiotics)
- Next morning, put 70 µl DMSO into a cryotube that you labelled with the strain’s name and the date
- Add 930 µl overnight culture
- Incubate immediately for 30 min on ice
- Store the DMSO culture in the -80°C freezer
- In the evening (or in one of the following days), make a streak out of the stock to see whether the bacteria are ok
