Introduction to Zymo Transformation and Testing

During the weekend of 7/14/07, the BU iGEM team ran a test of Zymo transformation of plasmids pBAD18s, pBAD30, and pjQ200 into wildtype S. oneidensis. Plasmids pBAD18s and pBAD30 were recommended to us by Professor Gardner as possible vectors for mutated Shewy genes. pjQ200 was the plasmid our team had previously selected as a prime candidate for serving as a vector. In order to check (and in the case of pjQ200, double-check) that these plasmids are capable of direct transformation into Shewy, tests of Zymo transformation and electroporation were conducted. For both types of transformation, E. coli was used as a control to verify that our transformation procedures were conducted properly. The results are posted below in a series of images and a short analysis.

Results of Zymo Transformation

E. Coli Transformants The image immediately to the right of this text shows the results from our transformation of E.coli with plasmids pBAD18s, pBAD30, and pjQ200 via Zymo transformation and electroporation. The contents of the plates are as follows(column indicates transformation type): Zymo(poured) Zymo(streaked) Electroporation pBAD18s pBAD18s pBAD18s pBAD30 pBAD30 pBAD30 pjQ200 pjQ200 pjQ200 The "poured" and "streaked" designations refer to how the transformed E. coli were put onto the plate. When transformed E. coli were streaked onto the plate, 5 microliters were used. When transformed E. coli were poured onto the plate, 100 microliters were used.

Shewy Transformants The image immediately to the right of this text shows the results from our transformation of S. oneidensis with plasmids pBAD18s, pBAD30, and pjQ200 via Zymo transformation and electroporation. The contents of the plates are as follows(column indicates transformation type): Zymo(streaked) Zymo(poured) Electroporation pBAD18s pBAD18s pBAD18s pBAD30 pBAD30 pBAD30 pjQ200 pjQ200 pjQ200 The "poured" and "streaked" designations refer to how the transformed Shewy were put onto the plate. When transformed Shewy were streaked onto the plate, 5 microliters were used. When transformed Shewy were poured onto the plate, 100 microliters were used.
