Soil experiment

by Audrey, Johan and Coralie

Soil

We put 100µL of each culture on MacConkey plate with specific antbiotic (Control +):

• 1696: Tetracyclin
• 1693: Spectinomycine
• 1320: Chloramphenicol

We put 30 mL of each culture in 60g of non sterile soil in a pot.

• 1696: 3 pots
• 1693: 3 pots
• 1320: 3 pots

We put 30 mL of clean LB in 60g of non sterile soil in a pot (Control -)

• LB: 3 pots

After this contamination, we take 1g of each pot to make the J0 measurement. We dilute it in 5mL of sterile H2O, and shake it during 5 min. Then, we let it to decant during 15 min. We take 50µL of the supernatant, and dilute it in 950µL of Sterile H2O (complete dilution from the soil is now at 10-2) We put 100µL of this previous dilution on plates that fits. We incubate plates over night at 37°C

Pots are placed in trays: 1 strain by tray. Trays are covered by a shrink-wrap, and we let them in room temperature

Water

We test two different water: seawater, from the Atlantic ocean, and stagnant water from Orsay's pool. For each water, we make dilutions: 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 and 10-4 We 100µL of different dilution on each type of plate:

• LB without antibiotic
• LB + Spectinomycin
• LB + tetracyclin
• LB + Chloramphenicol
• MacConkey without antibiotic
• MacConkey + Spectinomycin
• MacConkey + Tetracyclin
• MacConkey + Chloramphenicol

We incubate plates over night at 37°C

New culture

by Pauline

Biobricks:

• BBa_K1707008
• BBa_K1707010

We take 2 colony of each, and put it in 5mL of LB + 20µg/mL Chloramphenicol Incubation 37°C, 250 rpm
