July

July 28th

  • Received Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii CIRM BIA1 from the INRA Rennes CIRM collection.
  • Made the following media:
    • MEA (waking lyophilized bacteria up), 1 L
      ProductQuantity
      BHI broth37 g
      Soja peptone5 g
      Yeast extract5 g
      Glucose3 g
      WaterFill to 1 L
    • YEL (propionibacteria growth medium), 1 L
      ProductQuantity
      Sodium lactate (60% syrup)21.4 g
      Tryptone10 g
      Yeast extract10 g
      K2HPO4, 3 H2O328 mg
      MnSO4, H2O56 mg
      WaterFill to 1 L
  • Successfully grew P. freudenreichii in MEA at 30°C, in aerobic conditions.
  • Made a glycerol stock of it: g15.53.

July 30th

  • Tested the YEL+agar medium with the following strains:
    • P. freudenreichii
    • Lactobacillus lactis
    • E. coli
    • Lactobacillus plantarum
    • Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • Result (after 24 hours) are on the right

August 3rd

  • Plated from the original P. freudenreichii glycerol stock on MEA. Did not grow.
  • For now, propioni grows only in MEA liquid (does not grow on MEA+agar nor YEL+agar
.

August 15th

  • Successfully grew P. freudenreichii in MEA liquid and YEL liquid
  • It seemed to grow much faster. Do I have a contanimation? Need to check.

August 16th

  • Made a gram coloration to assess whether the strain I have is gram positive, as P. freudenreichii.
  • They seemed purple (as Gram positive bacteria).
  • Need further checking.

August 17th

  • Tried to extract the genomic DNA to sequence the 16s rRNA.
  • Problem: followed only the short sheet in the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue extraction kit, which was not made for gram-positive bacteria.
  • Tried with adding lysozyme to degrade the cell wall, but still no DNA out of the extraction.

August 17th
