test for rapid determination of glucose and nitrogen
- glucose was not depleted in stationary phase (approximately 35-55 mmol)
- nitrogen was not depleted in the stationary phase
- new M9 medium will contain less nitrogen
growth curve shows that BL21 ΔglgX has a shorter lag phase than the control and dies earlier
taking into account the different starting OD, ΔglgP and the wild type grow equally

made 5 ml LB cultures of Bl21 ΔglgX, BL21 ΔglgP and BL21 WT at 1 pm

- inoculated with OD 0.5
- took OD samples, samples for glycogen quantification and HPLC
- cultures stopped growing at OD 1
  - test showed that nitrogen was depleted after 9 hours and growth curve indicates that it had already been depleted earlier
  - for future experiment, the amount of nitrogen in M9 will be raised

15-08-21

made 5 ml LB cultures 11:30 am
inoculated 10 ml M9 precultures at 6 pm
M9 medium now contains 6.6 mM nitrogen ans 40 mM glucose

ΔglgX + glgC and ΔglgP + glgC growth experiment online
This growth curve resulted from an online OD measurement with Aquila Biolabs "Cell Growth Quantifier"(CGQ). We observed that ΔglgX and ΔglgP showed the same growth behavior as in the previous experiment where the OD was measured manually. ΔglgX has a shorter lag phase but dies earlier at a lower OD than the wild type and ΔglgP.

- 25 ml M9 main cultures inoculated to OD 0.2
- measured OD with Aquila Biolabs online measurement tool

ΔglgX and ΔglgP growth experiment online
Testing the growth of the single knockouts only showed that ΔglgX and ΔglgP had an identical growth behavior compared to the combination of each knockout with glgC. ΔglgP and the wild type grow very similarly while ΔglgX dies earlier. Aquila Biolabs CGQ was used for online measurement

iodine staining of cell pellets from first growth experiment (15-08-18; CDW approximately 0.4 mg)
- we used modiefied version of Lugol's iodine (5 mM I2 and 5 mM KI in water)

- these cultures are inculated again to purify glycogen with samples that are adjusted to the same OD
- samples will be purified, crude glycogen dissolved in water and centrifuged
- supernatant will be used for acid hydrolysis
- glucose then quantified with glycogen assay kit and HPLC

15-08-30

evaporation of ethanol and water in vacuum centrifuge for both WT samples
for samples of iMB/ iMH, water samples were adjusted to pH 3
- then ethanol was added to the sample
- the pellet with cell material were dissolved in water and adjusted to pH 3
- ethanol was also added to these samples

glycogen samples of acid hydrolysis (Bl21 WT, BL21 ΔglgX + glgC from 15-08-22) were quantified with the glycogen kit
- attention: samples were not adjusted to the same OD
- glucose rapid determination showed that there is no glucose in the BL21 ΔglgX + glgC sample!!!

- result: most glycogen is accumulated in the stationary phase

iodine staining with overday cultures (GlgA, GlgB, GlgC)
- adjust all to the same OD and resuspend in 50 µL of iodine solution
- result: all three samples (glgA, glgB and glgC) were darker than the wildtype, glgC was the darkest

with M9 culture of wild type:
- centrifuge the whole culture down in a 15 ml falcon
- resuspend in 5 ml NaCl (0.9 %) solution
- do a dilution series
- Centrifuge down

15-09-09

sequencing did not work
do iodine staining with frozen pellets and GlgC
- the pellets were first solved in 50 ul water

Iodine staining glgCAB vs. wild type vs. glgC
Cultivated in LB+20mM glucose, BL21 Gold + glgCAB and BL21 + glgC stained distinctly darker than the wild type. It can be observed that GlgC is more blue which indicates more linear glycogen. GlgCAB #1 is very dark, brownish which suggests a higher frequency of branches. This could result from the influence of the branching enzyme.

iodine staining calibration
- prepare 50 µl glycogen solutions with 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 g/l concentrations
- add 300 µl iodine solution to each solution

growth experiment of BL21 glgCAB #1, BL21 WT and BL21 glgC
- iodine staining (OD 1 1 ml) in well plate
- iodine staining with 1 ml OD 5.8
- SDS-Page: from left to right WT, C, CAB (8 ul of OD 12)
glycogen purification via KOH extraction
- use 25 ml LB + 20 mM glucose cultures with BL21 glgCAB #1, WT, ΔglgP, ΔglgX glgA and glgC
- for hydrolysis (for HPLC): do triplicates!

Dinitrosalicylic acid staining (OD of glg A, glg B, glg C, Wildtype, and ΔglgX were adjusted to the OD of ΔglgP = 2.57)
- blank: 1:1 dilution of dinitrosalicylic acid in 0.4 M NaOH

feed glycogen-producing cells to WT
- inoculated 2 BL21 wild type LB precultures (5 ml LB) at 1:20 pm
- inoculate two 10 ml M9 cultures of WT over night
- inoculate one 10 ml LB + 20 mM glucose overnight culture of WT and one of glgCAB
  - induction of glgCAB after 2.5 h
result: no difference in growth could be observed. The hypothesis is: because glycogen degradation enzymes are not secreted, glycogen in the medium does not give cells an advantage in growth when grown on C-limited medium

15-09-12

feed glycogen-producing cells to WT
- inoculated main cultures to an OD of 0.2 at 10:40 am
  - three 25 ml M9 C-limited cultures of WT
  - 3.3 mM glucose, 18.7 mM NH4Cl
- OD at 11:57 am (for calibration): 0.312 (WT1), 0.306 (WT2), 0.308 (WT3)
- measurement was accidently interrupted
- new start OD: 0.357 (WT1), 0.345 (WT2), 0.348 (WT3)
- fed at 5 pm with 500 µl
  - adjust LB WT and the CAB cultures to same OD
  - centrifuge, resolve in 500 µl water and boil for 10 minutes at 95 °C
- WT 1: fed with WT
- WT 2: fed with glgCAB
- WT 3: fed with water

no difference could be observed
the cells do not secrete the glycogen degradation enzymes
boiling might not have disrupted the glycogen chains, therefore, cells might not be able to metabolize the feed
experiment should work if the feed is treated with HCl for acid hydrolysis first

Dinitrosalicylic acid staining (OD of WT, ΔglgX and ΔglgP were adjusted)
1:100, 1:50, 1:25, 1:12.5, 1:6.25, 1:3.125, and 1:1.5625 dilutions of WT, ΔglgP, and ΔglgX were prepared; 50 µL sample volume. The same volume of Dinitrosalicylic acid was added; total volume was 100 µL.

15-09-17

adjust glgCAB in ∆glgP BL21 Gold (DE3) clone #4 and ∆glgP BL21 Gold (DE3) to the same OD of 1.97
freeze pellet for iodine staining
*overdays (LB+Antibiotic+IPTG+20 mM glucose) of glgAB in pSB1C30 (#8ZZ4# and #N96D#), glgA in pSB1K30, glgB in pSB1K30 and BL21 WT (incubation since 10 am)
do iodine staining of all cultures in the evening
- glgCAB in ∆glgP BL21 Gold (DE3) clone #4 was stained darker than the ∆glgP BL21 Gold (DE3) culture
- therefore, the combination of the knockoutof glgP and the overexpression of glgCAB leads to higher glycogen production
- for glgAB, no remarkably darker color was observed

Iodine staining BL21 Gold (DE3) ΔglgP + glgCAB vs. BL21 Gold (DE3) ΔglgP
Cultivated in LB+20mM glucose, BL21 Gold (DE3) ΔglgP + glgCAB stained distinctly darker than BL21 Gold (DE3) ΔglgP. It shows that even higher glycogen accumulation can be achieved by combining overexpression of all three synthesis enzymes and the ΔglgP knockout.

do 10 ml LB + 20 mM glucose + IPTG of BL21 Gold (DE3) glgA, glgB, glgC, glgCAB, ∆glgP, ∆glgX, ∆glgP + glgCAB

Dinitrosalicylic acid staining
