Four-phase Streaking method

  • Researcher: Leng Yi-Yan, Chang Chun-chieh, Lee Ming-Jhen
  • Place: Fu Jen University Food Science Department
  • Date: August 31th, 2015

Purpose

Plate streaking is an important and essential technique in molecular biology. Streaking allows the selection of a single colony from an original mixture of colonies. It also allows for the selection of one single colony from an original plate to be grown up as many colonies on a new plate.

Material

  1. E.coli(DH5α)
  2. Solid medium(LB agar)
  3. Inoculating loop
  4. Alcohol Burner

Procedure

Step1: Sterilize the inoculating loop on an alcohol burner flame and allow it to cool for a few seconds.

Step2: Using the loop, streak the first section of the plate using tight sweeping lines that stay within that section.

Step3: Sterilize the loop and allow it to cool in the air for 15 seconds. Touch the loop to an unused edge of the agar surface to cool it completely before continuing.

Step4: Pull the loop through the previous streak one or two times to re-inoculate the loop with cells.

Step5: Streak section 2 of the plate, avoiding section 1 after the first 1-2 streaks and trying not to overlap the streaks.

Step6: Repeat Step3,4,5 for two more times.

This is our first time do the experience.

We are going to use the restriction enzyme to cut the sample part {E GFP} and add a part by ligation.

So first, we use enzyme to cut the plasmid, and use gel electrophoresis to cut our part.

Than we purify our gel.

Preparing Samples

Homogenizing samples

  • Determine your sample type, and perform homogenization at room temperature according to the table below. The sample volume should not exceed 10% of the volume of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization. Be sure to use the indicated amount of TRIzol Reagent, because an insufficient volume can result in DNA contamination of isolated RNA.
Sample Type Action
Tissues
  1. Add 1mL TRIzol Reagent per 50-100 mg of tissue sample.
  2. Homogenize sample using a glass-Teflon or power homogenizer.
  • Note: Process or freeze tissue samples immediately upon collection.

RNA Isolation Procedurec

Always use the appropriate precautions to avoid RNase contamination when preparing and handling RNA.

RNA precipitation

  1. (Optional) When precipitating RNA from small sample quantities (<106 cells or < 10 mg tissue), add 5-10μg of RNase-free glycogen as a carrier to the aqueous phase.
    • Note: Glycogen is co-precipitated with the RNA,but does not inhibit first-strand synthesis at concentrations ≤4mg/mL,and does not inhibit PCR.
  2. Add 0.5mL of 100% isopropanol to the aqueous phase, per 1mL of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization.
  3. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Centrifuge at 12,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4℃.
    • Note: The RNA is often invisible prior to centrifugation, and forms a gel-like pellet on the side and bottom of the tube.
  5. Proceed to RNA wash.

Proceed to RNA wash.

  1. Remove the supernatant from the tube,leaving only the RNA pellet.
  2. Wash the pellet,with 1mL of 75% ethanol per 1mL of TRIzol Reagent used in the initial homogenization.
    • Note: The RNA can be stored in 75% ethanol at least 1 year at-20℃, or at least 1 week at 4℃.
  3. Vortex the sample briefly,then centrifuge the tube at 7500 × g for 5 minutes at 4℃.Discard the wash.
  4. Vacuum or air dry the RNA pellet for 5-10 minutes. Do not dry the pellet by vacuum centrifuge.
      Note: Do not allow the RNA to dry completely,because the pellet can lose solubility.Partially dissolved RNA samples have an A260/280 ratio<1.6.
  5. Proceed to RNA resuspension.

RNA resuspension

  1. Resuspend the RNA pellet in RNase-free water or 0.5% SDS solution(20-50㎕) by passing the solution up and down several times through a pipette tip.
    • Note: Do not dissolve the RNA in 0.5% SDS if it is to be used in subsequent enzymatic reactions.
  2. Incubate in a water bath or heat block set at 55-60℃ for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Proceed to downstream application, or store at -70℃.

TRANSFORMATION

  • Researcher: Han Yun-An, Chang Yu-Ting, Lee Chang-Lung
  • Place: Taipei Medical University
  • Date: March 12th, 2015

Materials

  • Resuspended DNA (Resuspend well in 10μl dH20, pipette up and down several times, let sit for a few minutes)
  • Competent cells (100μl DH5α per transformation)
  • Ice (in ice container)
  • 2ml tube (1 per transformation)
  • 42℃ water bath
  • Petri dishes with LB agar and appropriate antibiotic (2 per transformation)
  • Spreader (2 per transformation)
  • 37℃ incubator
  • 10pg/μl RFP Control (pSB1C3 w/ BBa_J23102)
  • LB broth (900μl per transformation)
  • Pipettman
  • Centrifuge

Procedure

  1. Start thawing the competent cells on ice.
  2. Add 100 μL of thawed competent cells into pre-chilled 2ml tube, labelled for your control.
  3. Add 1 μL of the DNA with RFP Control to the 2ml tube. Pipet up and down a few times, gently. Make sure to keep the competent cells on ice.
  4. Close tubes and incubate the cells on ice for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat shock the cells by immersion in a pre-heated water bath at 42℃ for 60 seconds.
  6. Incubate the cells on ice for 3 minutes for recover.
  7. Add 900 μL of LB broth(without antibiotic) and thenincubate the cells at 37℃ for 1 hour while the tubes are shaking(200~250 rpm).
  8. Centrifuge the cells at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.
  9. Remove 800 μL of the supernatant by the pipettmen.
  10. For the control, label two petri dishes with LB agar and the appropriate antibiotic(s). Plate 50 μl and 150 μl of the transformation onto the dishes, and spread.
  11. Incubate the plates at 37℃ for 12-16 hours, making sure the agar side of the plate is up.
  12. After picking colonies, store the plate in 4 ℃.
