Made Yeast Media

YPD Medium, per liter:

10g yeast extract

20g peptone

20g dextrose

20g agar(only for plates)

1. Dextrose filter sterilized, the rest autoclaved

2. Weigh nutrients into flask double the volume you want to make, and stir to dissolve

3. Dextrose added to autoclaved media to equivalent of 20 g/L

4. Liquid media placed on bench, plate media placed in 65 degree water bath approximately 5 minutes

5. Poured into plates and allowed to solidify

E.Coli Media

LB medium, per liter

10g tryptone

5g yeast extract

5g NaCl

1 mL 1N NaOH

15g (agar for plates)

1. Antibody DNA resuspended in TE buffer, 0.1 μg/μL

2. 5mL LB inoculated with single colony DH5a pro

3. Incubated at 37 degrees overnight

Competent cells:

1. 3mL overnight culture of DH5a pro

2. Inoculated into 35mL of LB

3. OD600 checked, want 0.2-0.3

4. Place culture on ice for 3 minutes

5. Spin at 10,000 rpm for 7 minutes, discard supernatant

6. Resuspend in 10 mL cold 30 mM CaCl2, incubated on ice overnight
