50mg/ml Kanamycin in Millipore H2O, filter with blue 0,22 um sterile filter and freeze at -20˚C

100mg/ml Ampicillin in 50% ethanol, filter with blue 0,22 um sterile filter and freeze at -20˚C

25mg/ml BCIP (in DMF) filter with blue 0,22 um sterile filter and keep in a falcon tube wrapped with aluminum foil at 4˚C. BCIP: Biomol Nr. 2291 (MG 433,64)

Glycerol (99%), autoclaved and kept at room temperature

B: Sperber medium

1g Yeast extract

3,5 ml 50% w/w Phytic acid

0,2g CaCl2

0,5g MgSO4

Adjust the pH to 7,2 with NaOH

Ad 2L of Millipore H2O

32g agar

Autoclave

After autoclaving the medium must cool down to ca. 50˚C. Now glycerol, IPTG, BCIP and the respective antiobiotic can be added.

For 2 L medium:

2ml BCIP

2ml 1M IPTG

2ml Ampicllin or Kanamycin

40mL Glycerol

The media is now ready for plating

Result: On Sperber medium phosphatase-recombinant colonies should develop a distinct color blue after 2 days.

To 500ml of LB Media add 7,5g of Agar and 5ml of Tributyrin and homogenize with a mixer.

This culture medium must be directly sterilized by autoclaving at 121˚C for 20 min.

If you wait too long it will be inhomogeneous again!

When the medium cools down enough, the antibiotic can be added.

Result: Halo formation is visible around the positive clones.

A: LB_ agar base

• Add the following components 

• Make sure to put a stirrer in the bottle.
• Sterilize the culture medium by autoclaving at 121 ^oC for 20 min.  

B: Substrate for cellulase screening

In 15 ml falcon tube, the substrate with final concentration 1% (w/v) is prepared in 96% (v/v) ethanol. For-example, to prepare 10 ml stock solution, weight 0.1 g of AZCL-HE-Cellulose and transfer it to 15 ml falcon tube, then add 96% (v/v) ethanol until the volume reached 10 ml.

The stock solution will be stored at +4 °C.

C: Prepare the agar plates

When the medium cools down to around 60°C, put the bottle containing LB-agar base on a magnetic mixer. At the same time, disperse the substrate by flip the falcon tube several times. Then, pour the substrate into the LB-agar base gently until the substrate suspend evenly in the agar medium (For how much substrate should be poured, ask the supervisor). Other reagents like antibiotic can also be added. Ca. 3-5 ml substrate per Liter medium.

D: Preparation of agar plates contacting cellulose substrate

After dispersing substrate and adding antibiotic to LB-agar , pour the medium quickly with continuous stirring onto the plates and make sure to make a thin layer of medium. Let the plates to dry and store them at 4 °C.

E: Another method of pouring Substrate for cellulase screening on to the agar plates

Rather than using normal pouring method one can first prepare regular LB plates having  just a thin layer of LB. After preparation of substrate for cellulase screening add the proper antibiotic to it and then pour this mixture on top of this thin LB layer with constant stirring. Let the plates to dry and then store at 4 °C.

Cloning principle:

• pJET1.2 is a linearized cloning vector which accepts inserts from 6 bp to 10 kb. Since the 5’-ends of the vector contain phosporyl groups, therefore phosphorylation of the PCR products is not required.

• Optimal insert/vector ratio is 3:1. (0.15 pmol ends of insert and 0.05 pmol ends of vector)

• Optimal PCR product quantity for ligation reaction is to be calculated from the Kit protocol, For the length of 2500 bp of PCR product, to have 0.15 pmol ends of the PCR product in the ligation reaction 125 ng of the PCR product should be used.

• For PCR products more than 3 kb, ligation can be prolonged to 30 min.

• You will perform TOPO® Cloning in a reaction buffer containing salt. Note that the amount of salt added to the TOPO® Cloning reaction varies depending on whether you plan to transform chemically competent cells or electrocompetent cells.

Before using our competent E. coli TOP10 cells in the important experiments, we used the Transformation Efficiency Kit to test the efficiency of our competent cells!

The kit includes five vials of each different DNA concentration: 50pg/μl, 20pg/μl, 10pg/μl, 5pg/μl, 0.5pg/μl of purified DNA from BBa_J04450 (RFP construct) in plasmid backbone pSB1C3.

Protocol as distributed by iGEM (modified)

Spin down the DNA tubes from the Transformation Efficiency Kit to collect all of the DNA into the bottom of each tube prior to use. A quick spin of 20-30 seconds at 8,000-10,000 rpm will be sufficient. Note: There should be 50 µL of DNA in each tube sent in the Kit.

Thaw competent cells on ice. Label one 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tube for each concentration and then pre-chill by placing the tubes on ice.

Pipet 1 µL of DNA into each microcentrifuge tube. For each concentration, use a separate tube.

Pipet 50 µL of competent cells into each tube. Flick the tube gently with your finger to mix. Incubate on ice for 30 minutes. Pre-heat heating block now to 42°C.

Heat-shock the cells by placing onto the heating block for 1 minute.

Immediately transfer the tubes back to ice, and incubate on ice for 5 minutes. This helps the cells recover.

Add 200 µL of LB media per tube, and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour. Prepare the LB-Cam (Chloramphenicol) agar plates during this time: label them.

Pipet 20 µL from each tube onto the appropriate plate, and spread the mixture evenly across the plate. Do triplicates (3 each) of each tube if possible, so you can calculate an average colony yield. Incubate at 37°C overnight. Position the plates so the agar side is facing up, and the lid is facing down.

Count the number of colonies on a light field or a dark background, such as a lab bench. Use the following equation to calculate your competent cell efficiency. If you've done triplicates of each sample, use the average cell colony count in the calculation.

(colonies on plate) / ng of DNA plated x 1000ng/µg

Note: The measurement "ng of DNA plated" refers to how much DNA was plated onto each agar plate, not the total amount of DNA used per transformation. You can calculate this number using the following equation:

1 µL x concentration of DNA (refer to vial) x (volume plated / total reaction volume)

Results

Competent cells should have an efficiency of 1.5x10⁸ to 6x10⁸ cfu/µg DNA, where "cfu" means "colony-forming unit" and is a measurement of cells.

•Phusion DNA Polymerases produce blunt end DNA products.

•All components and reaction mix are placed on ice.

* Addition of DMSO is recommended for GC-rich amplicons. DMSO is not recommended for amplicons with very low GC % or amplicons that are > 20 kb.

- adjust the  thermocycle to the following isntructions and start the PCR.

Cycle step	Tempreature oC	Time	Cycles
Initial Denaturation	98	30 s	1
Denaturation	98	5–10 s	30 - 35
Annealing	*	10–30 s
Extension	72	15–30 s/kb
Final extension	72	5-10 min	1

 

* The optimal annealing temperature for Phusion DNA Polymerase may differ significantly from that of Taq-based polymerases. Always use the Tm calculator and instructions on our website (www.thermoscientific.com/pcrwebtools) to determine the Tm values of primers and optimal annealing temperature. The Phusion DNA Polymerase has the ability to stabilize primer-template hybridization. As a basic rule, for primers > 20 nt, anneal for 10–30 seconds at a Tm +3°C of the lower Tm primer. For primers ≤ 20 nt, use an annealing temperature equal to the Tm of the lower Tm primer.

- for Templates > 2.5 kb and primers with low stability apply the following program

Cycle step	Tempreature oC	Time	Cycles
Initial Denaturation	98	30 s	1
Denaturation	98	10s	30 - 35
Annealing	*	15s
Extension	72	1 min 30 s
Final extension	72	10.5 min	1

 

- check the PCR product on 0.8% agarose gel and store at - 20 celsius degrees.
