Preparation of the P1 stock on the w121 strain.
See protocols. This preparation is necessary for transduction of DapA deletion in MG1655 strain.
Kinetic measurements:
As previously described, we want to measure :
- Growth of DapA- strain (w121) relative to the concentration of DAP in the medium :
- The excretion of Dap by MG1655 DapA+ strain by an indirect way
Growth of DapA- strain (w121) relative to the concentration of DAP in the medium
We measure the kinetic of the w121 as a function of DAP concentration
[DAP] = 5mM

Measuring excretion of Dap by MG1655 DapA+ strain in an indirect manner
We measure the growth of DapA- strain in the filtered growth medium of previously incubated MG1655 strain (S0).
S0 = Centrifuged and filtered medium of MG1655 ON
[DAP] = 5mM

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus ADP1
Culture
We received the strain Acinetobacter calcoaceticus ADP1 from Pasteur Institute (Center of biological resources of the Pasteur Institute): code CIP (ATCC number 33305). The strain was dehydrated and cultured following this protocol on LB agar plate at 30°C overnight.
See protocols
Medium to triglyceride/wax esters synthesis
Acinetobacter ADP1 is able to multiply in LB medium at 30°C. It is also able to synthesise lipids (triglyceride and wax ester) under specific conditions: Low Nitrogen Minimum Medium (LNMM).
This medium contains low nitrogen leading the bacterium to decrease its growing. With carbon hydrate source (here succinic acid), the bacteria stock energy into lipids (triglyceride and wax esters).
