w121 growth

w121 culture launched on 22/07/07 did not grow ON: I had forgot to add DAP to LB-Erythro growth medium.

at 12h30, the following culture was launched:

  • w121 in 2ml LB-Erythro-DAP

We were unable to perform growth kinetics analysis of w121 in different DAP-supplemented media (because the machine is occupied for the night

Transduction of DapA deletion in MG1655

  • The transduction seems to have worked: isolation of clones on LB and LB+DAP for verification.

Digestion reactions

Each of the digestion reactions that follow were performed as follows:

  • 20µL DNA solution (miniprep or PCR product)
  • 5µL Buffer 10x

E.Coli pKS::DGAT

We look under microscopy 5 days after incubation of E.coli transformed by pKS::DGAT and the control E.coli transformed by part B0015 on different LB medium (See July 18).

  • Observation:

We can observe E.coli single cells (100X).

  • Interpretation:

We can observe lipid inclusion into E.coli transformed by pKS::DGAT with IPTG induction. With or without adding oleate we do not observe significant differences. We could think that only dead cells are fluorescent (DGAT could kill the cells) but with cell death marker (green) we can see that cell death is not increased with DGAT.
