Protocol: iGEM protocols used for transformation by electroporation. Interlab protocol used for for Interlab calibration #3: Fluorescence standard curve - Fluorescein Protocol

Double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP and pET28a+arg1 into MG1655ΔlacI (electroporation)

Hypothesis: If we get growth on the positive control, LB+KAN, and LB+CAM plates with transformed cells, but not the double antibiotic plate, we can say that either the plasmids are incompatible, or the double antibiotic plate concentration is too high.

  • 1.5μLof RFP (50pg/μL)

  • 1.5μLof pET28a+arg1

  • plated 150μLof transformed cells on LB+CAM+KAN

  • plated 100μLof transformed cells on LB+CAM

  • plated 100μLof transformed cells on LB+KAN

  • plated 10μLof untransformed cells on LB+KAN (negative control)

  • plated 10μLof untransformed cells on LB (positive control)

Interlab calibration #3

  • serial dilution was performed and the plate was read

  • shaken 5s at amplitude = 2

  • excitation = 485nm

  • emission = 525nm

  • optimal gain used = 75

  • read from bottom of plate

  • The graph obtained from this experiment indicated an error, will repeat tomorrow

  • 2 colonies were taken from each of the 8 plates (2B, 2D, 2F, 2H, 2J, 2L, 2N, 2P)

  • tubes placed in the shaker overnight at 37° at 250rpm

Observations:

Double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP and pET28a+arg1 into MG1655ΔlacI

  • no colonies on negative control plate

  • no colonies on 100μL, 200μL, or 300μLplates


100μL double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP (10pg/μL) and pET28a+arg1 in MG1655ΔlacI (negative control) on LB+CAM+KAN



100μL double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP (10pg/μL) and pET28a+arg1 in MG1655ΔlacI on LB+CAM+KAN



200μL double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP (10pg/μL) and pET28a+arg1 in MG1655ΔlacI on LB+CAM+KAN



300μL double transformation of pSB1C3+RFP (10pg/μL) and pET28a+arg1 in MG1655ΔlacI on LB+CAM+KAN



Potential reasons for results:

  • antibiotic concentration too high (50μL/mL KAN + 25μL/mL CAM)

  • MG1655ΔlacIcells may no longer be competent

  • left MG1655ΔlacIcells thawing in the ice for too long

  • electroporation might have failed

  • plasmids may not have been compatible

  • we could try sequential transformation (still have to consider antibiotic concentration of LB+KAN+CAM plate)

Day 3, Wednesday 13/06

  • Reculture the overnight cultures from the interlab transformation

Equipment used:

  • Autoclave

Protocol: Used interlab protocol for interlab calibration.

Second attempt at Interlab calibration #3: Fluorescence standard curve - Fluorescein Protocol

  • serial dilution was performed and the plate was read

  • excitation = 485nm

  • emission = 525nm

  • optimal gain used = 90

  • read from bottom of plate

Reculturing the overnight cultures from the interlab transformation

  • 16 tubes with 5mL of LB and 5μLCAM

  • 100μLfrom each previous overnight culture placed in respective new tube (DH5α)

  • tubes slightly unscrewed and tape placed on lid for aeration in shaker

    • no visible colonies

  • LB+nontransformed cells (positive control)

    • growth on entire plate



Second double transformation pSB1C3+RFP and pET28a+arg1 in MG1655ΔlacI



Potential reasons for these results:

  • colonies on LB+CAM+pSB1C3+RFP+pET28a+arg1) because the cells are still competent and were transformed with pSB1C3+RPF

  • no colonies on LB+KAN+pSB1C3+RFP and pET28a+arg1not because the cells are not competent, but rather the transformation (pET28a+arg1into MG1655ΔlacI) failed

  • no colonies on LB+KAN+CAM+pSB1C3+RFP+pET28a+arg1 because the backbones are not compatible

  • no growth on LB+KAN+non transformed cells (negative control) because there was no antibiotic resistance gene in the cells

  • we had growth on LB+non transformed cells (positive control) because the cells were viable and there was no selection in the plate against them

    • pET28a = KAN resistant - incompatible with pSB1C3 by group check

    • pSB1C3 = CAM resistant - higher copy number than pET28a

KAN dilutions

-80mL of 10mg/mL were made

Potential reasons for this result:

-PCR did not work

-the annealing temperature was wrong because it was calculated using the whole primer, instead of only the binding sequence

-the primers don't work

-the primers were suspended in water instead of TE buffer and could therefore be degraded

-nanodrop had inaccurate measurement for primer concentrations since they were old and small

-the primers were diluted to a concentration that would make them the limiting reagent for the reaction

Day 1, Tuesday 03/07

People In Lab: Daniel, Tashi, Jasmeen

 

Agenda:

  • Growth curve for BL21 + Arg1 -> innoculation

 

Protocol:

  • Growth Curve(BL-21 cells + arg1 plasmid)
  • We started from innoculation.
  • For first 2 hours, we took the OD measurement every 30 minutes.
  • The plate reader was pre-set to 1) shake ( 1 mm amplitude, 7 sec) 2) measure ( 600mm wavelength, 5 flashes)
  • After 2 hours, we took the OD measuremetn every 15 minutes.
  • Since the measurements obtained were seemed to be random flucuation, the time interval for every measurement was switched back to 30mins (after ~5 hours)

  • Inoculate new culture (BL21 +arg1 *2, BL21) and measure OD to reach 0.3
  • IPTG induction for newly inoculated culture
  • Growth curve with BL21+arg1 cells ( 30mins interval)

 

 

Protocol:

1. Floatation Assay:

  • Based on Shapiro Lab protocol
  • centrifuge the sample tubes under 350g for 4 hrs
  • 3 sample tubes were set on the benchtop

Change plan for the floatation assay:

  • starting from 5 ml of overnight culture for 16hrs
  • 1:100 dilution of the starting culture and let the OD reaches 0.5
  • Add IPTG to make conc. of 0.4mM(maybe 0.8mM for cell line we used) in the cell culture and start the induction for 22hrs under 30oC.
  • After induction, centrifuge under 350g for 4 hrs

2. Growth curve:

  • starting from inoculation
  • the cell was grown in shaker( 220RPM & 37oC)
  • Take the OD every 30 mins ( add 200ul to the plate reader)

Agenda:

  •      Transform Ranomics plasmids into DH10β Cells
  •      Autoclave: LB medium, 0.1M MgCl2, 0.1M CaCl2
  •      1:100 dilution of O/N culture [~30 mins]

  •      induciton for 22 hrs at 30 0C after add IPTG to tubes
  •      inoculate BL21 cells for comptency assay

 

Calculations:

 

Make 50ml of MgCl2 Buffer:

  • 1M MgCl2 5ml
  • 45ml of ddH2O

Make 50 ml of 0.1M CaCl Buffer:

  • MM = 110.98g/mol C = 0.1M V=50ml

n = CV = 0.1M*0.005L = 0.005mol

  • m = MM*n = 0.5549g

 

Protocol:

1. Transformation protocol:

  • According to the protocol found in iGEM bindr
  • Plasmid dilution:

         From ranomics tubes: 90ng/ul ---Arg1 corr

         40ng/ul ---pSB1C3 + UNS2 + UNS3

         89ul of nuc water + 1 ul arg1 corr ------> 1ng/ul

         39ul of nuc water + 1 ul pSB1C3 -------> 1ng/ul

  • Add 1ul of diluted Arg1 corr to 50ul DH10B
  • Add 1ul of diluted pSB1C3 to 50ul DH10B

 

Day 3, Wednesday 11/07

People In Lab: Nina, Tashi, Amalia

 

Agenda:

  •      1:100 dilution on overnight BL21 & BL21 + Arg1 ( done on 10:45 am) in baffle flask
  •      IPTG induction for floating assay (induced on 3:35pm)
  •      Overnight culture (5ml) of Bl-21 and BL-21 +arg1 + KAN

 

Protocol:

1. For dilution:

  • 400 ul of BL-21 + arg1 overnight culture added to 39.6 ml of LB + Kan
  • 400ul of BL-21 overnight culture added to 39.6ml of LB
  • After dilution we tracked the OD of the dilution each hour ( results provided in the table below)
  • 20ml LB + kan & 20ml LB as blank
  • As the OD reach 0.3 we started the induction

2. For Competent Cell : ( calcium chloride competent cell protocol):

  • inoculate BL21 cells in 5 ml of LB overnight
  • Dilute 1: 100 overnight cell culture
  • grow to exponential phase OD
  • transfer to 50ml falcon tube
  • incubate 30 mins on ice
  • centrifuge 4000xg for 5mins in 40C
  • get rid suspernatnt and resuspend pellet ion 25ml Mgcl2C
  • incubate for 30 mins on ice
  • centrifuge 4000xg for 5 mins in 40C
  • get rid suspernatnt and resuspend pellet ion 25ml Cacl2
  • inculate 30 mins on ice
  • centrifuge 4000xg for 5 mins in 40C
  • get rid suspernatnt and resuspend pellet ion 2ml Cacl2/ glycerol
  • aliquot 100ul of mixture in to microcentrifge tube
  • freeze using liquid N2
  • store in -800C

 

 

Calculation:

For IPTG induction :

  • C1V1 = C2V2

          1M * (V1) = (0.4mM * 15 ml)

          V1 = 6ul ( Taking 6ul from 1M IPTG stock for 15ml of culture)

Transformation results:

  • DH10B ----> pSB1c3 with RFP& UNS1 + UNS3 on LB agar + CAM plates

          - both 100ul and 200ul gets lots of colonies

  • DH10B ----> arg1 corr on LB agar + kan plates

          - 100ul gets 2 colonies

          - 200ul gets 11 colonies
