<img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/4/4b/NU_Kazakhstan.notebook.Smu2.jpg" style="width:100%"><br>
 +
Figure 1: There were two types of colonies growing on bacitracin selective plate. They are expected to be S. mutans and S.sobrinus. It was suggested that Sm479F/R primer pair is highly specific for identification of S.mutans(Chen et al.,2007). In the picture you see two sets of lanes corresponding to the two types of colonies from plate, and first set of lanes is of correct size.<br>

  1. Preparation of the LB agar
    We used 37 g of nutrient agar for 400 mL of distilled water
  2. Extraction of genome from S.mutans
    1. First, culture S.mutans in 5 mL liquid BHI + bacitracin
    2. Centrifuge for 15 min at 4000 rpm
    3. Then dissolve the pellet in 500 microliters of Lysis Buffer
      How to prepare Lysis Buffer (1 mL):
      Lysis Buffer contains EDTA, Tween 80%, tris HCl,125 microliters of 8 M EDTA,5 µl of Tween 80, Tris HCl 1M 50 µl, Proteinase K (200 µg/mL). 0.0002 grams of powder Proteinase K were put into 1 mL of Lysis Buffer. The balance could not read 0.0002 g of proteinase K, so 0.02 g of proteinase K were taken.
  3. Incubation for 2 hours at 55°C. Heat at 90°C for 5 minutes.
  4. Then add equal volume of cold isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Incubate in freezer for 20 minutes.
  6. Centrifuge at the maximum speed for 30 min. Remove the supernatant.
  7. Add enough amount of ethanol to the pellet in order to wash
  8. Then add 50 µl of TE buffer
  9. Add 0.5 µl of the RNAase
  10. Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour
  11. Inactivate at 60°C for 10 min
  12. Run it in an agarose gel

    13. 2.06.15

    1. Construction of the light system
      pFixK2(K592006) + rbs + tetR(C0040) + double terminator + Ptet(R0040) + rbs + RFP(J06505) + double terminator
      • [rbs] = 139.15 ng/µl
      • [Ptet + GFP] = 199.2 ng/µl
      • [pFixK2] = 131.6 ng/µl
      • [double terminator] = 70.21 ng/µl
      • [tetR] = 78.76 ng/µl
    2. Restriction digests:
      Protocol for Restriction digest:
      Take following amounts of reagents:
      -1000 ng of DNA
      -0.5 µl of each Restriction Enzyme(we used NEB enzymes)
      -5 µl of CutSmart Buffer
      -dH2O to get final volume of 50 µl
      Incubate this mixture at 37 C for 1-2 hours and heat inactivate for 20 min at the temperature needed for particular enzyme.
      Example mixture:
      -pFixK2 (250 bp) was cut with EcoRI and SpeI.
      • pFixK2 – 7.6 µl
      • EcoRI = 0.5 µl
      • SpeI = 0.5 µl
      • dH2O = 36.4 µl
      • cut smart = 5 µl
      • Overall: 50 µl

      -RBS (15 bp) was cut with .
      -TetR (685 bp) was cut with EcoRI and SpeI.
      -Double terminator (95 bp) was cut with XbaI.
    3. Gel extraction of the pFixK2, RBS, tetR and double terminator
      1. Invitrogen by Life Technologies PureLink Quick Gel Extraction Kit was used to purify DNA.
      2. The small area of the gel containing the DNA fragment of interest was cut under UV.
      3. Mass of FixK2 = 220 mg, RBS = 80 mg, tetR = 150 mg, dTer = 140 mg
      4. The protocol of the PureLink Quick Gel Extraction was used to dissolve the gel and extract the DNA
        • [FixK2] = 5.727 ng/µl
        • [Rbs] = 4.499 ng/µl
        • [tetR] = 5.216 ng/µl
        • [double terminator] = 2.694 ng/µl
      5. Ligation of the Parts:
        Protocol for Ligation:
        -Take 50 ng of vector or just of bigger DNA part
        -Take amount of smaller DNA part to have 1:3 molar ratio
        -1 µl of T4 ligase enzyme
        -2 µl of T4 buffer
        -Add dH2O to have final volume of 20 µl
        Incubate this mixture for 16 hours at 16 C and heat inactivate for 10 min at 65 C.
        Example Ligation mixture:
        -Ligation of pFixK2 + rbs
        • pFixK2 = 8.5 µl
        • RBS = 8.5 µl
        • T4 ligase = 1 µl
        • T4 buffer = 2 µl
        • Overall: 20 µl

        -Ligation of TetR + double terminator
        When ligated DNA was transformed, the plate with pFixK2 + RBS had colonies grown. The mini-prep of pFixK2 + rbs was done

        6. 3.06.15

        1. The concentrations of the transformed parts:
          • FixK2+ rbs= 75.79 ng/µl
          • FixK2+ rbs= = 72.80 ng/µl
          • TetR + dter= 56. 93 ng/µl
          • TetR + dter= 95.86ng/µl
          • Pveg= 84.84 ng/µl
          • FixJ= 161.1 ng/µl
        2. PCR (Thermo Scientific Phusion High Fidelity PCR Master-mix):
          Protocol for PCR reaction:
          Take following reagents:
          -10 ng of DNA
          -10 µl of PCR MasterMix
          -2 µl of each 5 µM Primer
          -Add dH2O to get final volume of 20 µl
          Example PCR mixture:
          -PCR of FixK2
          • DNA = 0.03 µl *10 reactions = 0.3 µl
          • Water = 5.97 µl= 59.7 µl
          • Master Mix = 10 µl= 100 µl
          • VF2 = 2µl = 20 µl
          • VR= 2 µl = 20 µl
              • -PCR of RBS
              -PCR of FixK2 + rbs
              -PCR of tetR+dter
              -PCR of tetR
              -PCR of Double terminator

        PCR of S.mutans 16s rRNA with synthesized primers
        Figure 1: There were two types of colonies growing on bacitracin selective plate. They are expected to be S. mutans and S.sobrinus.
