Vitamin A Vitamin B2 Vitamin B12 Phytase Riboswitch Differentiation on E. coli Differentiation on S. cerevisiae Manufacturing Idli and Micro-organisms 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
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.
- No DNA extracted at all.
August 27th
- Re-used the kit, this time adding lysozyme (10 mg/ml) to degrade the cell wall, but still no DNA out of the extraction.
August 31st
- Made enzymatic lysis buffer for the Qiagen kit:
-
Product 20 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0 2 mM sodium EDTA 1.2% Triton X-100 Immediately before use, add lysozyme to 20 mg/ml - Unfortunately we did not have Tris (> 20 mM) nor EDTA (> 2 mM). Instead we used a solution of Tris 10 mM and EDTA 1 mM.
-
- Followed the rest of the protocol, starting with 1 ml and 0.5 ml of overnight culture of P. freudenreichii.
- Very low (null) results:
Start volume DNA extracted 1 ml 4.6 ng/μl 0.5 ml 2.2 ng/μl
