      Our first day in the laboratory!

      Goal: Incubate the Escherichia coli (E. coli) samples which carry pgRNA and pdCas9 on agar plates with antibiotics.

      Preparation of LA- medium
      LA- medium (1.5%) were made after the following recipe, and autoclaved for 20min at 121°C.
      • 1L Distilled water
      • 5g Yeast extract
      • 10g Tryptone
      • 5g NaCl
      • 15g Agar

      Agar plates with antibiotics
      Two different agar plates were made – one type contains ampicillin (AMP) while the other type contains chloramphenicol (CM), and were prepared after the following recipe:

      LA- medium with AMP:
      • 0.5L LA-medium
      • 0.5mL AMP (50mg/mL)
      LA-medium with CM:
      • 0.5L LA-medium
      • 0.5mL CM (35mg/mL)

      The LA-media with antibiotic were poured on petri dishes.

      Incubation of bacteria
      Two Escherichia coli (E. coli) samples which carry pgRNA and pdCas9 plasmids respectively, were ordered from Addgene. E.coli which carry the pgRNA plasmid were plated on agar plates with AMP, while E.coli which carry the pdCas9 plasmid were plated on two agar plates with CM, and incubated at 37℃.

      Results:
      The E.coli with pgRNA and pdCas9 formed colonies on the agar plates with AMP and CM

      Inoculation of E.coli

      Goal: Inoculate a colony from each agar plate which were prepared from the previous day, in LB- medium with antibiotics.

      Procedure
      One colony of pgRNA- and pdCas9- bacteria grown overnight on agar plates were picked and inoculated in LB-media (25mL) with AMP (25μL) and CM (25μL), respectively. The cell cultures were incubated at 37℃ in a shaking incubator at 204rpm.

      Isolation and verification of pgRNA and pdCas9

      Goal: Isolate and verify that the E.coli carry pgRNA and pdCas9.

      Plasmid isolation
      pgRNA and pdCas9 were isolated from the incubated bacteria prepared yesterday (June 21) by following the protocol of ZR Plasmid Miniprep Kit:
      1. 1mL of each cell culture (which either carry pgRNA or pdCas9) were transferred to eppendorf tube and centrifugated for 20s at 16000g
      2. The supernatant was discarded, while the pellet was resuspended in buffer
      3. Lysing buffer was added to the sample and carefully mixed in 2min
      4. Neutralizing buffer was added to the sample, and mixed until the colour of the solution became yellow
      5. The solution was centrifugated for 2min at 16000g
      6. The supernatant was collected and transferred to column in a collection tube, and centrifugated for 30s at 16000g
      7. The supernatant in the collection tube was discarded
      8. Endo-wash buffer was added to the column and centrifugated for 1min at 16000g
      9. Plasmid- wash buffer was added to the column and centrifugated for 1 min at 16000g
      10. The solution in the collection tube was discarded, while the column with plasmids was transferred to a new collection tube
      11. The plasmids in the column were eluted by adding 30μL distilled water, and centrifugated for 30s in 16000g

      Determine plasmid concentration and purity
      The concentration of plasmids and the purity of each sample were determined by using Nanodrop.

      Restriction digest and plasmid verification
      The presence of pgRNA and pdCas9 in the cell cultures were verified after following the restriction digest protocol and separation of the DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis.
