5.2. Assay Protocol
1. Prepare 2 over night cultures for each sample in 3 mL LB medium containing chloramphenicol (25 microg / mL) at 37 ºC for 12 h.
2. Dilute the overnight cultures to 1/100 in fresh LB medium (3 mL) containing chloramphenicol (25 microg / mL) (fresh culture).
3. Incubate the fresh cultures at 37℃ for 8 h.
4. Start preparing the flow cytometer 1 h before the end of incubation.
5. Measure the OD590 and adjust the volume of each sample to centrifuge so that the amount of pellet will be about the same for every sample.
6. Centrifuge the samples at 9000x g, 1 min , 4℃.
7. Remove the supernatants by using P100 pipette and suspend the samples with 1 mL of filtered PBS (phosphate-buffered saline).
8. Dispense all of each suspension into a disposable tube through a cell strainer.
9. Measure fluorescence intensity with flow cytometer.
