See the protocol "heat shock transformation".
The transformants were selected on LB agar plates plus Ampicilline (100µg/mL) and 0.2% glucose.
RESULTS of transformation of KeioZ1 F' cells
Controls are OK. Isolated colonies are available to continue our experiment.
Isolation of single colony : Laura_Arnaud_Brahim
Single colonies are picked and spread onto a new agar plate with LB+Amp+Glucose in an attempt to isolate single colonies.
Agar plates are then incubated at 37°C overnight.
Culture of isolated clones : Laura_Arnaud_Brahim
Isolated clones are put in liquid LB+Amp (100µg/µL) + 0.2% Glucose overnight at 37°C.
Culture of isolated clones (Results) : Laura_Arnaud_Brahim_Marie
Beginning of induction with Ara and first measurement at 30min then every hour.
Spread on petri dishes from transformed cells
Second step: reading the OD using the plate spectrophotometer.
Measurement automatically of the DO every 20min during 12hours.

Characterization of the A1 nuclease : Marie - Laura
Transformation verification : colony PCR. For each sample : pBAD24A1.1, pBAD24A1.2, pBAD24GG.1, pBAD24GG.2 transformed in E.coli on 1st/2nd july :
PCR program (named "IGM") :
Electrophoresis : 100V, 10 μL sample/well, 25 minutes.
Pre-culture : From glycerol stock on 1st/2nd july (pBAD24A1.1, pBAD24A1.2, pBAD24GG.1, pBAD24GG.2 transformed in E.coli), for each sample : 2 mL LB + 100μg/mL Ampicilline + 20% glucose, incubation with agitation overnight.
Culture of isolated clones (Results) : Laura_Arnaud_Marie
60mL culture of A1 and GG. Then beginning of induction with Ara in 30mL of A1 and GG, and first measurement of Optic Density at 30min each sample, then every hour twice.
Rq : We can notice that the population of A1+Ara bacteria decreases over time until 2h30. Then, during the night bacteria develop. We can assume that bacteria mutate during the night and grow.
