Experiments

If you've ever participated in iGEM, then you know just how many hours we have spent in the lab. Even though we didn't quite install half a dozen beds in the break room like we wanted to, we still felt like sharing our experiences with all of you. Behold! Our protocols.

Protocols

Lab friendly downloads available for all protocols

This protocol is adapted from a protocol used by DTU Bioengineering.

Materials

Fungal plates (either streaked or 3-point)
Drigalski spatula
500 mL shake flasks
Counting chamber
Solutions (APB, ATP, PCT, Milli-Q, TM)
30 °C incubator with shaking
Sterile tea spoon
Mira cloth in funnel (sterile)
Glucanex
Magnet stirrer
Magnets
50 mL sterile falcon tubes
0.45 µm filters
50 mL syringe
Centrifuge for falcon tubes

Media

Aspergillus transformation buffer (ATB)
Aspergillus protoplastation buffer (APB)
500 mL shake flasks
YPD media

Procedure

Initiation

Streak spore suspension of host strain on YPD plates supplemented with uridine (for this particular fungus) and let grow for a week (there should be black spores!)
All solutions should be sterile.

Day 1 (inoculation)

Add 95 mL of YPD media supplemented with uridine to a shake flask and transfer 5 mL of the YPD media to a plate with A. niger. Collect conidia and spores from plate by carefully scraping off the conidia using a drigalski (the spores are hydrophobic and would therefore rather just fly around than actually get into suspension so be careful not to make a mess here). This should give a concentration of around 108 spores/100 mL. It is a good idea to make more than one shake flask at a time.
Incubate shake flasks at 30 °C, 150 RMP for 48 h.

Day 3 (mycelial harvest)

Place the sterile funnel with a mira cloth in to a sterile blue cap bottle and transfer the contents of the shake flasks to the mira cloth (content should be brown and thick).
Wash the mycelia using Aspergillus protoplastation buffer (APB) to remove residual glucose from the mycelia (this can inhibit protoplastation). You need to use quite a bit of APB. squeeze out remaining liquid using a sterile spoon. Then, transfer the mycelium to falcon tubes ( ≈2 g per tube => 1 shake flask ≈ 2 falcon tubes).

Protoplastation

Add glucanex to APB to get a final concentration of 40 mg glucanex per mL APB and dissolve glucanex via gentle magnetic stirring and no heat.
Sterile filter 20 mL of APB+glucanex to each falcon tube using a 0.45 µm filter and a 50 mL syringe (there is a bit of resistance in the filter but that's ok).
Shake/incubate enzyme-mycelium mix at 30 °C, 150 rpm for 2-3 h.
From now on, whenever you pipette anything with the cells in it, cut of the edge of the pipette tip and CAREFULLY(!) pipette the cells. If you don't do this, they break as they don't have a cell wall to keep them stable.
Evaluate the number and quality of protoplasts in a microscope and discard a batch that is too diluted (i.e. < 105 protoplasts/mL). Approved protoplast solutions are then diluted by pouring APB up to 40 mL. and the tubess are balanced. Dilute Aspergillus transformation buffer (ATB) to 1/2x with sterile Milli-Q water and carefully place 5 mL of this on top of the APB, creating an overlay. Centrifuge samples on rotor settings rotor code Sla-600TC; time: 13 min; Speed: 3000g; Temperatire: 16 °C, Acc: 2, Brake: 2 (NB! due to slow acc and brake, this takes forever!)
In the interphase between the two liquids, a halo of white slurry consisting of concentrated protoplasts should be observed. If there is cell wall debris mixed in with the protoplasts, that's ok. They can still be used. Withdraw the protoplasts with a pipette and wash them in a new falcon tube. Add ATB up to 40 mL and pellet the protoplasts at 3000g for 13 min (acc. 2, brake 2). Discard supernatant by decanting.
Count protoplasts in microscope by diluting a small sample 1:100.
Resuspend protoplasts in 4 mL ATB to obtain concentrated solution.

Materials

DNA
Protoplasts
Falcon tubes
PCT
TM molten agar
TM plates
ATB

Procedure

Regular protocol

Add at MOST 20 µL DNA ( or max 25% of protoplast volume) and 100 µL of protoplasts in a 50 mL falcon tube.
Incubate in the falcon tube at RT for at least 30 min.

Quick protocol

Add at MOST 25 µL (1500-5000 ng) DNA ( or max 25% of protoplast volume) and 100 µL of protoplasts in a 2 mL Eppendorf tube. 1 µL (100 ng) pac6 as positive control.
Add 150 μL PCT with large-nozzle pipette tip.
Gently mix by swirling – careful the protoplasts are fragile.
Incubate 10-30 min at room temperature.
Add 250 μL ATB.
Distribute transformation mix on osmotic-stabilized selective media and let the agar absorb the mix before incubating

Protocol for producing a glycerol stock of E. coli adapted by Jacob Mejlsted from Addgene's protocol.

Materials

Consumables

2 mL screw top tube or cryovial

Chemicals

50% glycerol
Cell culture

Procedure

Making the stock

After having cultivated a culture overnight, add 500 µL culture to 500 µL 50% glycerol in the selected tube
The stock can now be frozen at -80 °C
If the stock is repeatedly thawed and frozen, it will reduce the shelf life of the culture

Using the stock

To recover bacteria, take a innoculation loop, toothpick or pipete tip and scrape a small amount of bacteria off the top.
Transfer this to a plate or a tube with liquid media for growth.
Normally, media with antibiotics are used. Here Amp and Cam are among the most used.

How to load and clean biolector plate.

Materials

Biolector
Minimal media
P1000 pipette and tips
P10 pipette and tips
Spore suspensions
Biolector plate
Lid for the biolector plate

Procedure

NB! Make sure to do all work in a clean LAF-bench!
Clean plate with ethanol and a cotton swab and leave to dry
Clean additionally using UV for >30 min.
Add 1500 µl minimal media (+supplements if necessary) to each well.
Add spores to the wells to achieve a final concentration of 10⁶ or 10⁷ spores per mL.
Add a lid for the plate. These are sticky and should be breathable, i.e. the white, kind of fabric-y lids
Run Biolector for 36 hours
After run, fill all wells with ethanol and clean using "soft" things such as a pipette tip to get to the corners and a cue tip to clean the sides. Repeat this process until the plate is clean.

Protocol for preparation and execution of the 1 L bioreactor (Sartorius Stedim 1L) cultivations. Adapted from DTU course material by Helena Utzon.

Materials

1 L Sartorius Stedim 1L bioreactor
Sartorius Stedim BIOSTAT Q Plus control tower
Off-gas
Minimal media
Sigma 204 Antifoam
Sterile arginine solution
Acid (2 M Sulfuric acid)
Base (2 M Potassium hydroxide)
Spore suspensions

Consumables

1 mL syringes
Lab grease
White strips

Procedure

Assembly of the bioreactors

Mount the inoculation, sampling, and temperature port from the bottom of the lid and secure them with the bolt from the top of the lid.
Mount the impellers at the correct height.
Attach the sparger and baffles, and secure them with the bolt at the top of the bioreactor.
Mount the condenser, preferably as close to the control tower as possible.
The mouth of the condenser is loosely packed with a bit of glass wool, and the condenser is closed off.
The temperature and sampling pipe is mounted, and the sampling tubing is attached and sealed off with both a butterfly clamp and a regular clamp.
The inoculation port (with membrane) is assembled and mounted.
The 4-way connector is attached to the bioreactor, and the un-needed connections are closed off with a knotted piece of tubing.
Marprene tube is attached to the air inlet, and an air filter is attached to the tubing in the right direction.
Assemble the bioreactor, using a bit of lab grease on the rubber gaskets.
Connect the empty 250 mL Blue Cap bottles (acid/base) to the 4-way connector, with tubing appropriate for the control tower pumps.
Clamp tubing between the bioreactor and bottles, as close to the reactor as possible. Also, attach a clamp the tube leading to the air filter.
Secure all tubing with white strips.
Fill the reactor with 1 L of minimal medium (see media recipe).
Calibrate the pH-electrode, and pressure test the reactor.
Cover all open ends and filters with tin foil to protect them during autoclaving.
Check all clamps prior to autoclavation, and loosen the main screw to prevent overpressure.
Autoclave the bioreactor.
After autoclavation, close the loose fitting and mount the air supply. Set the flow rate on the DCU to 0.75 vvm, and remove all clamps except for on the sampling tubing.
Once the medium has cooled down, connect the condenser tubing, the temperature jacket tubing, pH-electrode, DO-electrode, and the stirrer.
Set the stirrer to 800 rpm and check the accuracy of the pH-electrode. Calibrate if needed.
Mount the tubing for the acid and base on their respective pumps, run the acid/base through the tubing and switch to “auto”.
Calculate the inoculum volume to a final concentration of 10⁶ spores/mL, and inoculate the bioreactors with the previously prepared spore suspensions (See Here).
Add 50 µL of Sigma 204 Antifoam to the reactor.
Due to species limitations, 0.7 g of arginine was added to the media of the positive control.
Set the timer to zero at the DCU, and start the batch fermentation at the desired process values.
Please find the ramps and process conditions for our bioreactor cultivations below.

By David Faurdal, adapted in part from NEB's one-taq protocol.

The purpose of this protocol is to confirm correct insertion of fragments after assemblies, such as 3A, Gibson, or Golden Gate. As the fragments run on the gel won't be used for cloning purposes, there is no reason to use high-fidelity polymerases on this, just use one-taq.

Materials

Transformants from whatever assembly method you fashion
Eppendorf tubes
Sterile toothpicks/inoculation lops/pipette tips for transferring colonies
Sterile water
LB media with apropriate antibiotics

Procedure

Preparing the template DNA from the transformants:

Pick a number of transformants, typically 3-10, from each plate of interest and mark them on the back of the plate.
Set up 2 eppendorf tubes for each colony and mark them accordingly:
Fill the first one (1) with 15 µL MQ water.
The other one (2) remains empty for now.
Transfer each colony to the eppendorf containing 15 µL water using a sterile toothpick, inoculation loop or autoclaved pipette tip.
Transfer 5 µL of the water from (1) to the empty (2) tube. This tube (2) is now for safekeeping in case the colony PCR shows that the transformant in question contains the correct insertion.
Boil the (1) tubes for 10 minutes at 98 °C. Prepare the PCR mastermix, while the colonies are boiling.

Setting up the PCR itself:

Set up a 25 µL reaction for each colony to be screened, as per NEB'S one-taq PCR protocol (see the protocol for troubleshooting).

Component	25 µL reaction
5x OneTaq Standard Reaction Buffer	5 µL
10 mM dNTP	0,5 µL
10 µM Forward Primer	0,5 µL
10 µM Reverse Primer	0,5 µL
OneTaq DNA Polymerase	0.125 µL
Template	1 µL from the (1) tube
Nuclease-Free Water	up to 25 µL

Run the PCR in the thermocycler (use this website to calculate temperatures used based upon the primers and polymerase used).
Run the products on a gel to check for correct insertion.
Prepare an O/N culture from the (2) tubes that have the correct insertions by adding 1 mL LB media to the tube, mixing it and transfer a W-tube containing 4 mL LB media.

Day 2:

Culture growth
Early in the morning, start cooling the Sorval centrifuge to 4 °C
Pour 200 mL SOB media into each of the shakeflask (one shakeflask per starter culture).
Mark the shakeflasks to match the startercultures
Measure the OD 600 of each starterculture, and inoculate the shakeflask with a volume so the final OD 600 value in the shakeflask culture becomes 0.01
Grow the shakeflask culture at 37 °C with shaking. Measure OD values of the sample every 20 minutes once the OD 600 value is above 0.2.
When OD 600 is between 0.3 and 0.4, put the cultures into an ice bath immediately, and swirl the shake flash around in the cold water to cool culture. Chill the culture in the ice water for 20-30 minutes, occasionally swirling the cultures.
FROM THIS STAGE ON, KEEP CELLS AT ICE/4 °C AT ALL TIMES
For each shakeflask culture, pour the culture into 3 x 50 mL frosted falcon tubes from the freezer.
Keep the tubes on ice
Centrifuge falcon tubes at 3000 x g for 15 min at 4 °C (Spin #1 of 4)
Discard supernatant, and resuspend cells in 15 mL icecold 0.1 M MgCl₂
Keep tubes with cells on ice
Pool the resuspended cells into one of their matching falcon tubes, so you now have 3 different 50 mL falcon tubes, one with cells corresponding to each of the starter cultures you had.
Keep tubes on ice
Centrifuge falcon tubes at 2000 x g for 15 min at 4 °C (Spin #2 of 4)
Discard the supernatant, and resuspend pellet in 40 mL icecold 0.1 M CaCl₂
Keep tubes on ice
Let cell suspensions stand in ice for 20-30 minutes
Centrifuge falcon tubes at 2000 x g for 15 min at 4 °C (Spin #3 of 4)
Discard supernatant, and resuspend pellet in 10 mL icecold 85 mM CaCl₂ + 15 % glycerol
Keep tubes on ice
Centrifuge falcon tubes at 1000 x g for 15 minutes at 4 °C (Spin #4 of 4)
Pellet might look small and will be a bit fragile. Handle tubes with care when taking them out of centrifuge
Attention: The next few steps are best done on ice inside a LAF bench
Resuspend pellet in 800 µL ice-cold 85 mM CaCl₂ + 15 % glycerol
Put falcon tubes on ice
Immediately after cells are confirmed resuspended, aliquot 30 µL of the competent cell culture into the chilled PCR tubes
Put tubes into -80 °C freezer as fast as possible

Materials

Resuspended DNA to be transformed
10 pg/µL Positive transformation control DNA (e.g. pSB1C3 w/ BBa_J04450, RFP on high-copy chloramphenicol resistant plasmid. Located in the Competent Cell Test Kit.)
Competent Cells (50 µL per sample)
1.5 mL Microtubes
SOC Media (950 µL per sample)
Petri plates w/ LB agar and antibiotic (2 per sample)

Equipment

Floating Foam Tube Rack
Ice & ice bucket
Lab Timer
42 °C water bath
37 °C incubator
Sterile spreader or glass beads
Microcentrifuge

Procedure

Method: Day 1

Resuspend DNA in selected wells in the Distribution Kit with 10 µL dH₂O. Pipet up and down several times, let sit for a few minutes. Resuspension will be red from cresol red dye.
Label 1.5 mL tubes with part name or well location. Fill lab ice bucket with ice, and pre-chill 1.5 mL tubes (one tube for each transformation, including your control) in a floating foam tube rack.
Thaw competent cells on ice: This may take 10-15 min for a 260 µL stock. Dispose of unused competent cells. Do not refreeze unused thawed cells, as it will drastically reduce transformation efficiency.
Pipette 50 µL of competent cells into 1.5 mL tube: 50 µL in a 1.5 mL tube per transformation. Tubes should be labeled, pre-chilled, and in a floating tube rack for support. Keep all tubes on ice. Don’t forget a 1.5 mL tube for your control.
Pipette 1 µL of resuspended DNA into 1.5 mL tube: Pipette from well into appropriately labeled tube. Gently pipette up and down a few times. Keep all tubes on ice.
Pipette 1 µL of control DNA into 2 mL tube: Pipette 1 µL of 10 pg/µL control into your control transformation. Gently pipette up and down a few times. Keep all tubes on ice.
Close 1.5 mL tubes, incubate on ice for 30 min: Tubes may be gently agitated/flicked to mix solution, but return to ice immediately.
Heat shock tubes at 42 °C for 45 sec: 1.5 mL tubes should be in a floating foam tube rack. Place in water bath to ensure the bottoms of the tubes are submerged. Timing is critical.
Incubate on ice for 5 min: Return transformation tubes to ice bucket.
Pipette 950 µL SOC media to each transformation: SOC should be stored at 4 °C, but can be warmed to room temperature before use. Check for contamination.
Incubate at 37 °C for 1 hours, shaking at 200-300 rpm
Pipette 100 µL of each transformation onto petri plates. Spread with sterilized spreader or glass beads immediately. This helps ensure that you will be able to pick out a single colony.
Incubate transformations overnight (14-18 hours) at 37 °C: Incubate the plates upside down (agar side up). If incubated for too long, colonies may overgrow and the antibiotics may start to break down; un-transformed cells will begin to grow.

Method: Day 2

Pick single colonies: Pick single colonies from transformations: do a colony PCR to verify part size, make glycerol stocks, grow up cell cultures and miniprep.
Count colonies for control transformation: Count colonies on the 100 μL control plate and calculate your competent cell efficiency. Competent cells should have an efficiency of 1.5x10⁸ to 6x10⁸ CFU/µg DNA.

Here, the procedure for sampling of the shake flask and bioreactor cultivations is described.

Materials

Consumables

10 mL syringe (bioreactor)
15 mL falcon tube
1.5 mL eppendorf tube
Corning® Clear Polystyrene 96-Well Microplate

Procedure

Shake flask cultivation

In a clean bench, approximately 1 mL of sample containing biomass was sampled via pipetting.
100 µL sample containing biomass was transferred to a spectrophotometry plate.
200 µL of sample was spun down at 10.000 g for 3 min and 100 µL transferred to a spectrophotometry plate.
Immediately after sampling, samples in the spectrophotometry plate was measured for fluorescence according to the fluorescence measurement protocol, and the remainder of the sample in the eppendorf tubes stored at -20 °C.

Bioreactor cultivation

For sampling of the bioreactor, extra care was taken to prevent contamination.
The sterile 10 mL syringe was sprayed with 70% ethanol and inserted in the sampling tube.
The clamps on the sampling tube were loosened and 5 mL sample was drawn and discarded.
The syringe was again sprayed with 70% ethanol, and reinserted in the sampling tube.
Approximately 10 mL sample containing biomass was drawn and transferred to a 15 mL falcon tube.
The clamps on the sampling tube were tightened, and the sampling tube sprayed with 70% ethanol.
The samples were stored at -20 C for later protein purification.

Here, we describe the protocol for the set-up and execution of the shake flask cultivations. Please, click here for the media recipe, here for sampling procedures for the specifics regarding sampling, and here for details regarding the fluorescence measurements.

Materials

Pyrex shake flasks (with baffles)
Minimal media
Spore suspension

Consumables

Cotton stopper
Tin foil

Procedure

Preparations and inoculation

A breathable cotton ball was added to the mouth of a glass shake flask (with baffles), covered with tin foil, and then autoclaved.
150 mL minimal media was added to each shake flask.
The shake flasks were inoculated with their respective spore solutions to a final concentration of 10⁶ spores/mL.
Shake flasks were incubated for 5 days as described below.

Conditions

Shake flasks were incubated at 30 °C at 150 rpm for 5 days.
Samples were taken as regularly as described in sampling procedures.

The following is a quick and easy protocol for creating the spore suspensions used for storage and the inoculation of the shake flask, biolector, and bioreactor cultivations. .

Materials

Fully grown fungi plates (with spores)
Drigalski spatula
96% ethanol
FireBoy or other flame-sterilizing equipment
Sterile Milli-Q water
Sterile mira cloth
Sterile falcon tubes
P1000 pipette and tips
Scissors
Microscope
Counting chamber

Procedure

Creating the spore suspensions

Add mira cloth to a falcon tube.
Pour 2-3 mL of Milli-Q water onto a plate
Clean and sterilize a drigalski spatula using ethanol and fire.
Let the drigalski cool off in the water before commencing the scraping. Then, carefully scrape off the spores from the plate. This should be done with the lid still on and VERY careully as the spores are hydrophobic and would much rather just fly around than being suspended into the water.
When all of the spores have been suspended into the water, transfer the liquid to the mira cloth using a pipette with the tip cut off.
When this is done, count the spores in the microscope. Usually, a 1000x dilution is necessary.
The spore suspension can be kept for up to 3 months at 4 °C.

+<h4> Assembly of the bioreactors </h4>
+<ul>
+	<li> Mount the inoculation, sampling, and temperature port from the bottom of the lid and secure them with the bolt from the top of the lid. </li>
+	<li> Mount the impellers at the correct height. </li>
+	<li> Attach the sparger and baffles, and secure them with the bolt at the top of the bioreactor. </li>
+	<li> Mount the condenser, preferably as close to the control tower as possible. </li>
+	<li> The mouth of the condenser is loosely packed with a bit of glass wool, and the condenser is closed off. </li>
+	<li> The temperature and sampling pipe is mounted, and the sampling tubing is attached and sealed off with both a butterfly clamp and a regular clamp. </li>
+	<li> The inoculation port (with membrane) is assembled and mounted.  </li>
+	<li> The 4-way connector is attached to the bioreactor, and the un-needed connections are closed off with a knotted piece of tubing. </li>
+	<li> Marprene tube is attached to the air inlet, and an air filter is attached to the tubing in the right direction.  </li>
+	<li> Assemble the bioreactor, using a bit of lab grease on the rubber gaskets. </li>
+	<li> Connect the empty 250 mL Blue Cap bottles (acid/base) to the 4-way connector, with tubing appropriate for the control tower pumps.  </li>
+	<li> Clamp tubing between the bioreactor and bottles, as close to the reactor as possible. Also, attach a clamp the tube leading to the air filter. </li>
+	<li> Secure all tubing with white strips. </li>
+	<li> Fill the reactor with 1 L of minimal medium (<a href="#Minimal-media" >see media recipe</a>). </li>
+	<li> Calibrate the pH-electrode, and pressure test the reactor. </li>
+	<li> Cover all open ends and filters with tin foil to protect them during autoclaving. </li>
+	<li> Check all clamps prior to autoclavation, and loosen the main screw to prevent overpressure. </li>
+	<li> Autoclave the bioreactor. </li>
+	<li> After autoclavation, close the loose fitting and mount the air supply. Set the flow rate on the DCU to 0.75 vvm, and remove all clamps except for on the sampling tubing. </li>
+	<li> Once the medium has cooled down, connect the condenser tubing, the temperature jacket tubing, pH-electrode, DO-electrode, and the stirrer. </li>
+	<li> Set the stirrer to 800 rpm and check the accuracy of the pH-electrode. Calibrate if needed. </li>
+	<li> Mount the tubing for the acid and base on their respective pumps, run the acid/base through the tubing and switch to “auto”. </li>
+<li> Calculate the inoculum volume to a final concentration of 10<sup>6</sup> spores/mL, and inoculate the bioreactors with the previously prepared spore suspensions (<a href="#Sporesuspensions" >See Here</a>). </li>
+<li> Add 50 µL of Sigma 204 Antifoam to the reactor. </li>
+<li> Due to species limitations, 0.7 g of arginine was added to the media of the positive control. </li>
+<li> Set the timer to zero at the DCU, and start the batch fermentation at the desired process values. </li>

 <h3 class="media heading">Procedure</h3>
-<h4>Initiation</h4>
+<h4>Method: Day 1</h4>
 <ul class="protocolli">
-	<li>Streak spore suspension of host strain on YPD plates supplemented with uridine (for this particular fungus) and let grow for a week (there should be black spores!)</li>
+	<li>	Resuspend DNA in selected wells in the Distribution Kit with 10 µL dH<sub>2</sub>O. Pipet up and down several times, let sit for a few minutes. Resuspension will be red from cresol red dye.	</li>
-	<li>All solutions should be sterile.</li>
-</ul>
+<li>	Label 1.5 mL tubes with part name or well location. Fill lab ice bucket with ice, and pre-chill 1.5 mL tubes (one tube for each transformation, including your control) in a floating foam tube rack.	</li>
-<h4>Day 1 (inoculation)</h4>
+<li>	Thaw competent cells on ice: This may take 10-15 min for a 260 µL stock. Dispose of unused competent cells. Do not refreeze unused thawed cells, as it will drastically reduce transformation efficiency.	</li>
-<ul  start="3" class="protocolli">
-	<li>Add 95 ml of YPD media supplemented with uridine to a shake flask and transfer 5 ml of the YPD media to a plate with A. niger. Collect conidia and spores from plate by carefully scraping off the conidia using a drigalski (the spores are hydrophobic and would therefore rather just fly around than actually get into suspension so be careful not to make a mess here). This should give a concentration of around 108 spores/100 ml. It is a good idea to make more than one shake flask at a time.</li>
+<li>	Pipette 50 µL of competent cells into 1.5 mL tube: 50 µL in a 1.5 mL tube per transformation. Tubes should be labeled, pre-chilled, and in a floating tube rack for support. Keep all tubes on ice. Don’t forget a 1.5 mL tube for your control.	</li>
-	<li>Incubate shake flasks at 30 °C, 150 RMP for 48 h.</li>
+<li>	Pipette 1 µL of resuspended DNA into 1.5 mL tube: Pipette from well into appropriately labeled tube. Gently pipette up and down a few times. Keep all tubes on ice.	</li>
+<li>	Pipette 1 µL of control DNA into 2 mL tube: Pipette 1 µL of 10 pg/µL control into your control transformation. Gently pipette up and down a few times. Keep all tubes on ice.	</li>
+<li>	Close 1.5 mL tubes, incubate on ice for 30 min: Tubes may be gently agitated/flicked to mix solution, but return to ice immediately.</li>
+<li>	Heat shock tubes at 42 °C for 45 sec: 1.5 mL tubes should be in a floating foam tube rack. Place in water bath to ensure the bottoms of the tubes are submerged. Timing is critical.	</li>
+<li>	Incubate on ice for 5 min: Return transformation tubes to ice bucket.	</li>
+<li>	Pipette 950 µL SOC media to each transformation: SOC should be stored at 4 °C, but can be warmed to room temperature before use. Check for contamination.	</li>
+<li>	Incubate at 37 °C for 1 hours, shaking at 200-300 rpm	</li>
+<li>	Pipette 100 µL of each transformation onto petri plates. Spread with sterilized spreader or glass beads immediately. This helps ensure that you will be able to pick out a single colony.	</li>
+<li>	Incubate transformations overnight (14-18 hours) at 37 °C: Incubate the plates upside down (agar side up). If incubated for too long, colonies may overgrow and the antibiotics may start to break down; un-transformed cells will begin to grow.	</li>
 </ul>
+<h4>Method: Day 2</h4>
-<h4>Day 3 (mycelial harvest)</h4>
+<ul  start="14" class="protocolli">
-<ul start="5" class="protocolli">
+	<li>	Pick single colonies: Pick single colonies from transformations: do a colony PCR to verify part size, make <a href="#proto3aassembly">glycerol stocks</a>, grow up cell cultures and miniprep.	</li>
-	<li>Place the sterile funnel with a mira cloth in to a sterile blue cap bottle and transfer the contents of the shake flasks to the mira cloth (content should be brown and thick).</li>
-	<li>Wash the mycelia using Aspergillus protoplastation buffer (APB) to remove residual glucose from the mycelia (this can inhibit protoplastation). You need to use quite a bit of APB. squeeze out remaining liquid using a sterile spoon. Then, transfer the mycelium to falcon tubes ( ≈2 g per tube => 1 shake flask ≈ 2 falcon tubes). </li>
+<li>	Count colonies for control transformation: Count colonies on the 100 μL control plate and <a href="http://parts.igem.org/Help:Competent_Cell_Test_Kit" target="_blank">calculate your competent cell efficiency</a>. Competent cells should have an efficiency of 1.5x10<sup>8</sup> to 6x10<sup>8</sup> CFU/µg DNA.	</li>
 </ul>
-<h4> Protoplastation </h4>
-<ul  start="7" class="protocolli">
-	<li>Add glucanex to APB to get a final concentration of 40 mg glucanex per ml APB and dissolve glucanex via gentle magnetic stirring and no heat.</li>
-	<li>Sterile filter 20 ml of APB+glucanex to each falcon tube using a 0.45 µm filter and a 50 ml syringe (there is a bit of resistance in the filter but that's ok).</li>
-	<li>Shake/incubate enzyme-mycelium mix at 30 °C, 150 RPM for 2-3 h.</li>
-<li>From now on, whenever you pipette anything with the cells in it, cut of the edge of the pipette tip and CAREFULLY(!) pipette the cells. If you don't do this, they break as they don't have a cell wall to keep them stable.</li>
-<li>Evaluate the number and quality of protoplasts in a microscope and discard a batch that is too diluted (i.e. < 105 protoplasts/ml). Approved protoplast solutions are then diluted by pouring APB up to 40 ml. and the tubess are balanced. Dilute Aspergillus transformation buffer (ATB) to 1/2x with sterile milli-Q H2O and carefully place 5 ml of this on top of the APB, creating an overlay. Centrifuge samples on rotor settings rotor code Sla-600TC; time: 13 min; Speed: 3000g; Temperatire: 16 °C, Acc: 2, Brake: 2 (NB! due to slow acc and brake, this takes forever!)</li>
-<li>In the interphase between the two liquids, a halo of white slurry consisting of concentrated protoplasts should be observed. If there is cell wall debris mixed in with the protoplasts, that's ok. They can still be used. Withdraw the protoplasts with a pipette and wash them in a new falcon tube. Add ATB up to 40 ml and pellet the protoplasts at 3000g for 13 min (acc. 2, brake 2). Discard supernatant by decanting.</li>
-<li>Count protoplasts in microscope by diluting a small sample 1:100.</li>
-<li>Resuspend protoplasts in 4 ml ATB to obtain concentrated solution.</li>

+	<li>When all of the spores have been suspended into the water, transfer the liquid to the mira cloth using a pipette with the tip cut off.</li>
+	<li>When this is done, count the spores in the microscope. Usually, a 1000x dilution is necessary.</li>
+	<li> The spore suspension can be kept for up to 3 months at 4 °C. </li>
-<h4>Day 1 (inoculation)</h4>
-<ul  start="3" class="protocolli">
-	<li>Add 95 ml of YPD media supplemented with uridine to a shake flask and transfer 5 ml of the YPD media to a plate with A. niger. Collect conidia and spores from plate by carefully scraping off the conidia using a drigalski (the spores are hydrophobic and would therefore rather just fly around than actually get into suspension so be careful not to make a mess here). This should give a concentration of around 108 spores/100 ml. It is a good idea to make more than one shake flask at a time.</li>

-<h4>Day 3 (mycelial harvest)</h4>
-<ul start="5" class="protocolli">
-	<li>Place the sterile funnel with a mira cloth in to a sterile blue cap bottle and transfer the contents of the shake flasks to the mira cloth (content should be brown and thick).</li>
-	<li>Wash the mycelia using Aspergillus protoplastation buffer (APB) to remove residual glucose from the mycelia (this can inhibit protoplastation). You need to use quite a bit of APB. squeeze out remaining liquid using a sterile spoon. Then, transfer the mycelium to falcon tubes ( ≈2 g per tube => 1 shake flask ≈ 2 falcon tubes). </li>
-</ul>
-<h4> Protoplastation </h4>
-<ul  start="7" class="protocolli">
-	<li>Add glucanex to APB to get a final concentration of 40 mg glucanex per ml APB and dissolve glucanex via gentle magnetic stirring and no heat.</li>
-	<li>Sterile filter 20 ml of APB+glucanex to each falcon tube using a 0.45 µm filter and a 50 ml syringe (there is a bit of resistance in the filter but that's ok).</li>
-	<li>Shake/incubate enzyme-mycelium mix at 30 °C, 150 RPM for 2-3 h.</li>
-<li>From now on, whenever you pipette anything with the cells in it, cut of the edge of the pipette tip and CAREFULLY(!) pipette the cells. If you don't do this, they break as they don't have a cell wall to keep them stable.</li>
-<li>Evaluate the number and quality of protoplasts in a microscope and discard a batch that is too diluted (i.e. < 105 protoplasts/ml). Approved protoplast solutions are then diluted by pouring APB up to 40 ml. and the tubess are balanced. Dilute Aspergillus transformation buffer (ATB) to 1/2x with sterile milli-Q H2O and carefully place 5 ml of this on top of the APB, creating an overlay. Centrifuge samples on rotor settings rotor code Sla-600TC; time: 13 min; Speed: 3000g; Temperatire: 16 °C, Acc: 2, Brake: 2 (NB! due to slow acc and brake, this takes forever!)</li>
-<li>In the interphase between the two liquids, a halo of white slurry consisting of concentrated protoplasts should be observed. If there is cell wall debris mixed in with the protoplasts, that's ok. They can still be used. Withdraw the protoplasts with a pipette and wash them in a new falcon tube. Add ATB up to 40 ml and pellet the protoplasts at 3000g for 13 min (acc. 2, brake 2). Discard supernatant by decanting.</li>
-<li>Count protoplasts in microscope by diluting a small sample 1:100.</li>
-<li>Resuspend protoplasts in 4 ml ATB to obtain concentrated solution.</li>
