Cheaters
Project: Survivors
Authors: iGEM_GO_Paris_saclay
Monday, 29/7/2019
Some bacteria can escape DNA degradation. We called these survivor cells cheaters. Following assays aim to characterize the proportion of bacteria that escapes DNA cleavage and mecanisms leading to this escape.
●
Principle: to characterize if this new phenotype was due to a mutation carried by the plasmid, we extract the plasmid of the cheater cells and sequence it. In the same time, we also performe CFU plus we take the OD of these cheaters.

Toxicity of B. sub / DH5α + Induction : Marie_Laura
From a culture that has grown overnight, dilute to an OD of 0.1 in 15mL LB + Amp, then grow at 37°C with agitation to an OD of 0.4. Take OD, it's the time t0.
1.
Bacilus subtilis from DH5alpha glycerol stock = B.sub
2.
KeioZ1F' + PBAD24-Moclo from glycerol stock = Moclo
3.
KeioZ1F' + PBAD24-A1 from glycerol stock = A1
4.
KeioZ1F' + PBAD24-T7 from glycerol stock = T7
5.
KeioZ1F' + PBAD24-T7 from the box "16/07 iGEM LB+Glu+Amp T7 - Ara Lendemain" = "tricheur"T7 = TT7
6.
KeioZ1F' + PBAD24-A1 from the box "16/07 iGEM LB+Glu+Amp A1 - Ara Lendemain" = "tricheur"A1 = TA1
Add 0,2% of Arabinose. Then let it grow at 37°C and take the OD after 30min, 1h30, 2h30 and the next day. At the same time make droplets of different dilutions: from 10-1 to 10^-7.

Culture of A1, Moclo and A1 cheater (they survided the nuclease induction from a previous induction but not a single clone but many were used for the preculture) in LB + Amp (25mL) after a preculture overnight in LB + amp + glucose. Liquide preculture are diluted in order to have an O.D = 0.1 when starting the experiment. Beginning of induction by adding arabinose when O.D is around 0.4.
