+ | |||
+ | <li>- O/N culture of E. coli MG1655</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Take 500 µl of O/N culture and add P1 (-80°C). Incubate O/N at 37°C</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Take single plaques of P1 stock plate and bring it in a sterile eppendorf tube together with | ||
+ | |||
+ | 200 µl of MQ</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- O/N extraction, shaking at 37°C</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Add 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 µl of extraction to 500 µl of a stationary phase culture of E. coli | ||
+ | |||
+ | MG1655. Vortex and bring to a sterile petri dish with LB.</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Add LB soft agar with 10 mM MgSO4 and 5 mM CaCl2 in it and incubate at 37°C.</li> | ||

+ | < li> 2. Preparation of lysate of donor strain. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <ul> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Add to 500 µl aliquots of O/N stationary phase culture of donor strain 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 µl of | ||
+ | |||
+ | lysate. First, you have to centrifugate the lysate to be sure the chloroform is at the bottom of | ||
+ | |||
+ | the eppendorf tube.</li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li>- Add LB softagar with 10 mM MgSO4 and 5 mM CaCl2. Incubate at 37°C.</li> | ||

+ | <li> - Concentrate 500 µl of O/N stationary phase culture of acceptor strain 5 times in LB with 10 mM MgSO4 and 5 mM CaCl2. </li> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <li> - Add 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 µl of the donor strain lysate to 100 µl aliquots of the acceptor strain. </li> | ||
