    Four-phase Streaking method

    • Researcher: Leng Yi-Yan, Chang Chun-chieh, Lee Ming-Jhen
    • Place: Fu Jen University Food Science Department
    • Date: August 31th, 2015

    Purpose

    Plate streaking is an important and essential technique in molecular biology. Streaking allows the selection of a single colony from an original mixture of colonies. It also allows for the selection of one single colony from an original plate to be grown up as many colonies on a new plate.

    Material

    1. E.coli(DH5α)
    2. Solid medium(LB agar)
    3. Inoculating loop
    4. Alcohol Burner

    Procedure

    Step1: Sterilize the inoculating loop on an alcohol burner flame and allow it to cool for a few seconds.

    Step2: Using the loop, streak the first section of the plate using tight sweeping lines that stay within that section.

    Step3: Sterilize the loop and allow it to cool in the air for 15 seconds. Touch the loop to an unused edge of the agar surface to cool it completely before continuing.

    Step4: Pull the loop through the previous streak one or two times to re-inoculate the loop with cells.

    Step5: Streak section 2 of the plate, avoiding section 1 after the first 1-2 streaks and trying not to overlap the streaks.

    Step6: Repeat Step3,4,5 for two more times.

    3. BA(Boric acid)
    4. CaCl2
    5. Chitosan
    6. Sodium citrate(Na3C6H5O7•2H2O)
    7. Electronic balance
    8. Spatulas
    9. Beaker
    10. ddH2O
    11. Volumetric flask
    12. Mixing rod
    13. Hotplate
    14. Serum bottle

    Procedure

    Step1: Get certain weight of chemicals with spatulas by an electronic balance.

    Step2: Use a volumetric flask to prepare a certain concentration of solution.

    Step3: Dissolve the solution with a stirring rod. (if not dissolving, use the hotplate until the solution becomes clear)

      • Date: August 18th, 2015

      Because we must test E.coli’s Survival in the environment there is benzo[a]pryene by counting the colonies,First we test how much concentration is the best.

      1. culture (8/17)

        STEP1:take 1μL DH5α to spread the plate(no Antibiotic)

        STEP2:put in 37 degree Celsius 12~16hr

      2. liquid culture(8/18)

      3. (8/19)

        STEP1:put 80μL into 2ml LB broth

        STEP2:recovering

        STEP3:After 2hr take 200μL out to spread the plate (no Antibiotic)

        STEP4:After 4hr take 200μL out to spread the plate (no Antibiotic), 6hr and 8hr Similarly

        STEP5:put in 37 degree Celsius 12~16hr

      RESULT:

        2. Equilibrate the PM Column by applying 5 ml of PL4 Buffer by gravity flow
        3. Harvest the bacterial culture 100 ml by centrifuge at 6000 x g for 10 mins
        4. Add 5 ml of PL1 Buffer to resuspend the cell pellet by vortexing or pipetting
        5. Add 5 ml of PL2 Buffer and mix gently by inverting the tube 10 times. DO NOT VORTEX!!!
        6. Place for 10 mins at room temperature until lysate clears
        7. Add 5 ml of PL3 Buffer and mix immediately by inverting the tube 10 times. DO NOT VORTEX!!!
        8. Centrifuge at 15000g for 20 minutes or filtered with a filter paper
        9. Apply the supernatant from step 8. to the equilibrated PM Column and allow it to flow by gravity flow.
        10. Wash the PM Column by using PL5 Buffer 15 ml and allow the column empty by gravity flow.
        11. Discard the filtrate.
        12. Place PM Column in a clean centrifuge and apply 10 ml of PL6 Buffer to elute DNA by gravity flow
        13. Using eluates from step 12. Add 7.5 ml of room temperature isopropanol. Vortex well and let the mixture sit for 2 minutes.
        14. Centrifuge at 12500 x g for 30 minutes.
        15. Remove the supernatant, then add 3 ml of 70% ethanol to wash.
        16. Centrifuge at 12500 x g for 5 minutes, then dry ethanol at room temperature.
        17. Apply 0.2 ml of TE Buffer to resuspend DNA.

          We are going to use the restriction enzyme to cut the sample part {E GFP} and add a part by ligation.

          So first, we use enzyme to cut the plasmid, and use gel electrophoresis to cut our part.

          Than we purify our gel.

              Preparing Samples

              Homogenizing samples

              • Determine your sample type, and perform homogenization at room temperature according to the table below. The sample volume should not exceed 10% of the volume of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization. Be sure to use the indicated amount of TRIzol Reagent, because an insufficient volume can result in DNA contamination of isolated RNA.
              <thead> </thead> <tbody> </tbody>
              Sample Type Action
              Tissues
              1. Add 1mL TRIzol Reagent per 50-100 mg of tissue sample.
              2. Homogenize sample using a glass-Teflon or power homogenizer.
              • Note: Process or freeze tissue samples immediately upon collection.

              RNA Isolation Procedurec

              Always use the appropriate precautions to avoid RNase contamination when preparing and handling RNA.

              RNA precipitation

              1. (Optional) When precipitating RNA from small sample quantities (<106 cells or < 10 mg tissue), add 5-10μg of RNase-free glycogen as a carrier to the aqueous phase.
                • Note: Glycogen is co-precipitated with the RNA,but does not inhibit first-strand synthesis at concentrations ≤4mg/mL,and does not inhibit PCR.
              2. Add 0.5mL of 100% isopropanol to the aqueous phase, per 1mL of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization.
              3. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
              4. Centrifuge at 12,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4℃.
                • Note: The RNA is often invisible prior to centrifugation, and forms a gel-like pellet on the side and bottom of the tube.
              5. Proceed to RNA wash.

              Proceed to RNA wash.

              1. Remove the supernatant from the tube,leaving only the RNA pellet.
              2. Wash the pellet,with 1mL of 75% ethanol per 1mL of TRIzol Reagent used in the initial homogenization.
                • Note: The RNA can be stored in 75% ethanol at least 1 year at-20℃, or at least 1 week at 4℃.
              3. Vortex the sample briefly,then centrifuge the tube at 7500 × g for 5 minutes at 4℃.Discard the wash.
              4. Vacuum or air dry the RNA pellet for 5-10 minutes. Do not dry the pellet by vacuum centrifuge. <ul class="note-unordered-list"
              5. Note: Do not allow the RNA to dry completely,because the pellet can lose solubility.Partially dissolved RNA samples have an A260/280 ratio<1.6.
              6. </ul>

              7. Proceed to RNA resuspension.
              8. </ol>

                RNA resuspension

                1. Resuspend the RNA pellet in RNase-free water or 0.5% SDS solution(20-50㎕) by passing the solution up and down several times through a pipette tip.
                  • Note: Do not dissolve the RNA in 0.5% SDS if it is to be used in subsequent enzymatic reactions.
                2. Incubate in a water bath or heat block set at 55-60℃ for 10-15 minutes.
                3. Proceed to downstream application, or store at -70℃.
