SynSCOBY Part 2 Growing Media E.coli

 October 25

Growing critters ins 2 media (LB, YPD)

  • PNC (e.coli, plasmid  : LB. 37C
  • PNS (e.coli, plasmid) : LB 37C
  • BY4741(yeast) : YPD             30c
  • VENUS (uria) (yeast): YPD.  30c

Pour from the stock to a separate tube is done in the sterile hood 

Streaking from Plates. with the microbes from (Part1)

Taking a loopful of microbe culture (a colony) from the plates and putting them in Media




All Microbes grown overnight in Liquid Media
  • PNC (e.coli, plasmid  : LB. 37C
  • PNS (e.coli, plasmid) : LB 37C
  • BY4741(yeast) : YPD             30c
  • VENUS (uria) (yeast): YPD.  30c
For all microbes make glycerol stock 
60% glycerol to start and mix 50/50 with microbe culture. 30% Final
Store at -80C

JUST FOR E.COLI - 

Using LB + KAN

KAN is only for E.coli - use at 50-ug/mL

*Storing at -20oC and avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles will keep most antibiotics viable for at least 6 months.



Adding an antibiotic resistance gene to the plasmid solves both problems at once – it allows a us to easily detect plasmid-containing bacteria when the cells are grown on selective media, and provides those bacteria with a pressure to keep the plasmid

Dextrose instead of sugar

  The pellicle grew nicely BUT the dextrose measurement * might not be the same as the sugar*  measurement.  Given that the structure is dif...
