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
Product Quantity BHI broth 37 g Soja peptone 5 g Yeast extract 5 g Glucose 3 g Water Fill to 1 L - YEL (propionibacteria growth medium), 1 L
Product Quantity Sodium lactate (60% syrup) 21.4 g Tryptone 10 g Yeast extract 10 g K2HPO4, 3 H2O 328 mg MnSO4, H2O 56 mg Water Fill to 1 L
- MEA (waking lyophilized bacteria up), 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.
