Background

Aims

Results

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency is widely spread in India, due to diet that is mostly vegetarian. We aimed at introducing a high-level cobalamin producer to the rice batter. Tadaa.

Culture

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 was thaw, and sow 100µL of it on YPD medium overnight. (at 30°C)
This yeast will be transformed.

PCR

3 PCR were realized on HO-Poly-KanMX4-HO plasmid to create a Kanamycin resistance marker, thanks to 3 pairs of primers wich have tails we’ll be use to knock out genes PHO80, PHO85 and both in the yeast.

Protocol:
PHO80 PHO85 FRT+ PHO85
Master mix (µL) 50 50 50
H2O DNAse Free (µL) 45 45 45
Resistance plasmid (µL) 1 1 1
PHO80 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO80 3'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 3'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 + FRT 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 + FRT 3'Primer (µL) 2

PCR purification

Protocol :
  • Dilute PCR product (5 or 10 times ?) with the resuspension buffer
  • Pour it in a purification column
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Add 700µL of EtOH (washing solution)
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Add 500µLof washing solution
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Put the column in a Eppendorf
  • Add 45µL of RNAse/DNAse free water right on the membrane
  • Wait 2min
  • Centrifuge 2min at 10K rpm

    • PCR The PCR control with an electrophoresis




    We expected bands around 1.300bp. The band corresponding to marker with FRT is bigger than the two others strips wich have just the Kanamycin resistance with tails.

    Pre-culture

    Swo one colony of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 in 5mL liquid YPD medium and let 's grow overnight.
