1 liter of high quality distilled water

Once the ingredients are added, heat with stirring until the components are completely dissolved.

Adjust to pH 7 with acid.

Autoclave at 121°C for 20 min.

PROBLEMS : we have FeSO4 precipitate + pH superior to 7

Hypothesis : we had put 2,5g of FeSO4.7H2O instead of 2,5mg

Preparation of other « Making Chemical Competent cells » DAY ONE

TSS buffer

To make 50 mL:

5g PEG 8000 (Denis Friend)

1.5 mL 1M MgCl2 (or 0.30g MgCl2*6H20)

Add LB to 50 mL

Filter sterilize (0.22 μm filter)

Add after sterilization 2.5 mL DMSO (the 09/06)

Overnight culture

Grow a 5mL overnight culture of DH5-alpha in LB media at 37°C and 180 rpm.

09/06/2015

Preparation of other « Making Chemical Competent cells » DAY TWO

1. In the morning, dilute this culture back into 50mL of fresh LB media in a 200mL conical flask, at 37°C and 180 rpm. (Dilute the overnight culture by at least 1/100).

Grow the diluted culture to an OD600 of 0.2 - 0.5.

We obtained : OD600nm = 2,744

SO to obtain a good quantity of cells. We « dilute » culture later

2. Put eppendorf tubes on ice now.

- Theoretically, if your culture is 50 ml, you will need 50 tubes. But we had 5X more cells. We will need 250 tubes.

- At this point you should also make sure that your TSS is being chilled (it stored at 4°C).

3. Split the culture into two 50mL falcon tubes and incubate on ice for 10 min.

TARE : tube 1 = 37,03g

tube 2 = 37,00g

All subsequent steps should be carried out at 4°C and the cells should be kept on ice wherever possible

4. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm and 4°C.

5. Remove supernatant. The cell pellets should be sufficiently solid that you can just pour off the supernatant if you are careful. Pipette out any remaining media.

6. Resuspend in chilled TSS buffer.

The volume of TSS to use is 10% of the culture volume that you spun down => so 25 mL

You may need to vortex gently to fully resuspend the culture, keep an eye out for small cell aggregates even after the pellet is completely off the wall. We resuspend with

pipetteman with a cone cut at its end.

7. Add 100 μl aliquots to your chilled eppendorfs and store at − 80°C.

One part was stored directly at -80°C and the other part was freeze in liquid nitrogen.

- Transformation Efficiency Kit iGEM

Protocol

1. 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.

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

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

4. 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 waterbath now to 42°C.

5. Heat-shock the cells by placing into the waterbath for 1 minute. Be careful to keep the lids of the tubes above the water level, and keep the ice close by.

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

7. Add 200 µL of LB media per tube, and incubate at 37°C for 2 hours.

8. Prepare the agar plates during this time: label them, and add sterile glass beads if using beads to spread the mixture.

9. 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

10. Incubate at 37°C overnight. Position the plates so the agar side is facing up, and the lid is facing down.

11. 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.

Results of Transformation Efficiency of chemical competent cells v2

Low efficiency because we regenerate on LB (without glucose) normally, it is either SOC or LB + glc.

Petri dish too small is boring

All small colonies (strange ???) => it was bubbles => is boring

Preparation Glucose 2M stock (150mL)

Dissolve 50,48 g glucose into 150 ml (final volume) ddH2O and filter-sterilize into sterile 500 ml tube. Store at 4°C.

Spin down the DNA tubes 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 2.0mL microcentrifuge tube for each concentration and then pre-chill by placing the tubes on ice.

Pipet 1 µL of DNA into each microcentrifuge tube (pSB3C3, pSB3T5, pSB1C3). 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 waterbath now to 42°C.

Heat-shock the cells by placing into the waterbath for 1 minute. Be careful to keep the lids of the tubes above the water level, and keep the ice close.

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

Add 200 µL of LB+glucose (20mM final) media per tube, and incubate at 37°C for 2 hours.

Prepare the agar plates during this time: label them,

Label two petri dishes with LB agar and the appropriate antibiotic (ChL+Tet) with the part number, plasmid backbone, and antibiotic resistance.

Plate 20 µl and 200 µl of the transformation onto the dishes, and spread. This helps ensure that you will be able to pick out a single colony.

For the control, label two petri dishes with LB agar (ChL). Plate 20 µl and 200 µl of the transformation onto the dishes, and spread.

For control bacterial survey, plate 20µL on one LB agar without antibiotic by transformation

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.

Picking Colonies Protocol

After taking the plates out of the 37ºC incubator place them upside down (i.e. the way they were in the incubator) on the bench top.

Using a pipette boy or similar instrument, pipette 5 ml of LB media*** (containing the correct concentration of antibiotic into sterile 25 ml or 50 ml tubes

(The number of tubes depends on how many you want to grow)

Tetracyclin : 12,5 µg/mL

Chloramphenicol : 10 µg/mL

In one hand take a sterile pipette tip on the end of a pipette, with the other hand pick up the upside down plate containing the bacteria from the ligation. Turn the plate over in your hand so that the bacteria are now facing upwards towards you and touch the tip of the pipette tip gently to a bacterial colony that is completely isolated from any other colony. => The Petri dishes are stock in parafilm at 4°C.

Now place the same tip with bacteria on it into one of the tubes containing LB media and move the tip around a bit to release some of the bacteria into the liquid. Some people simply eject the pipette tip into the media but if you do this you will need to recover it the next day.

Culture the tubes overnight in an incubated orbital shaker at 37ºC at 190-225 rpm.

*** Preparation of LB media :

Chloramphenicol : 5mL x 12 colony + 5 = 65mL

Chloramphenicol (final) : 10 µg/mL

Chloramphenicol (stock) : 34 mg/mL

Tetracyclin : 5mL x 1 colony + 5 = 10 mL

Tetracyclin (final) : 12,5 µg/mL
