Protocols

LB Media

  • 950 mL H20
  • 10 g Tryptone
  • 10 g NaCl
  • 5 g Yeast Extract
  • 1 L Total
  • Add 15 g Agar, if being poured into plates.
  • Autoclave, when cool add antibiotics if desired.
  • Antibiotic Stock Solutions

    Chloramphenicol
  • Working Concentration 12.5 μg/ml
  • Stock solutions can be made at 35 mg/ml in ethanol and kept at -20º C


  • Kanamycin
  • Filter sterilize for kanamycin
  • Working Concentration:
  • 25 μg/mL for low-copy plasmids
  • 35 µg/mL for high-copy plasmids
  • Stock solution is 35 mg/ml in water and kept at -20º C


  • Spectinomycin

    1. Preheat water bath to 42º C.
    2. Thaw competent cells on ice for 10 minutes.
    3. Use 50 µL competent cells, add transforming DNA [up to 25 ng per 50 µL of cells, volume not exceeding 2.5 µL (5%)]. For control add 1 µL of control DNA (PUC19 carb resistance). Swirl to mix, store on ice 5 minutes.
    4. Heat shock in 42º C water bath for 45 seconds.
    5. Cool cells in ice bath for a few minutes.
    6. Add 800 µL LB to each tube, set in shaker at 37º C for 45 minutes.
    7. Transfer 200 µL of culture per plate (containing the appropriate antibiotic).
    8. Spread using glass beads.
    9. Invert plates and incubate overnight (12-16 hrs) at 37º C.< /li>
