Transduction of w121 strain

Titration of the stock of phage from 12.7.7. : ~109 phages/ml : OK

FtsZTS strain screening

We want to test these strains :

  • 121.4
  • 121.5
  • 121.6
  • 129
  • 1.129
  • DCR 14.1
  • DCR 14.2
  • DCR 14.3

I made glycerol stock of these strains, stored in the freezer. Test :

  • Spread these strains on two plates (preheated before spreading) :
    • One at 30°C
    • One at 42°C

The results tomorrow.

Minipreps

We have 2 clones for each plasmid :

  • E0422
  • E0241
  • E0840
  • B0030
  • J61047

Elution within 50µL H2O
DNA is within the Miniprep box in the -20°C fridge.

DAP solution contamination test

Results :

  • 50µL of H20 (control) OK
  • 50µL of aliquot DAP 50mM (in use) OK
  • 50µL of DAP 1mM CONTAMINATED
  • 50µL of DAP 0.2 mM OK
  • 50µL of DAP 50mM OK

E.coli pKS::DGAT

  • After overnight culture (see July 17), we do not observe significant triglyceride synthesis.
  • We decide to test in solid culture and wait some days. E.coli transformed by pKS::DGAT and the negative control (E.coli transformed by part B0015) were spread on LB medium +- oleate 2mM +- IPTG (0.4mM).
  • We try in M9 Minimum Medium (see Protocols) replacing lactose/galactose by 2mM oleate, too.
