Growth kinetic on w121 strains

In order to precise the growth behavior/kinetics of our strain W121 in smaller DAP concentration, we fit those last ones in function of our last kinetics results (06/08/07)

The 96 well plate is surrounded by H2O in order to maintain humidity during the assay. In each slot, 200µL of the growth medium (LB or S0.x) is mixed with 2µL of w121 culture grown ON, and with different amount of DAP (see table). The growth profile is measured over a period of 20H, a DO measurement is acquired each 4min10s.

Preparing chemically competent cells

  • w121
  • FX85

1. Grow a 5ml overnight culture of cells in LB media. In the morning, dilute this culture back into 25-50ml of fresh LB media in a 200ml conical flask. You should aim to dilute the overnight culture by at least 1/100.
2. Grow the diluted culture to an OD600 of 0.5.
3. Put 500µL eppendorf tubes on ice so that they are cold when cells are aliquoted into them later. If your culture is X ml, you will need X tubes. At this point you should also make sure that your TSS is being chilled.
4. Split the culture into two 50ml falcon tubes and incubate on ice for 10 min.
5. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm and 4°C.
6. Remove supernatant. The cell pellets should be sufficiently solid that you can just pour off the supernatant if you are careful. Pipette out any remaining media. Resuspend in chilled TSS buffer. The volume of TSS to use is 10% of the culture volume that you spun down. You may need to vortex gently to fully resuspend the culture, keep an eye out for small cell aggregates even after the pellet is completely off the wall.
7. Add 100 μl aliquots to your chilled eppendorfs and store at − 80°C.


For TSS preparation :
To make 50 mL:
5g PEG 8000
0.30g MgCl2*6H20
2.5 mL DMSO
Add LB to 50 mL
Filter sterilize (0.22 μm filter)
Store at 4°C or -20°C
