Protocols
Our project deals with E.coli cells which sense Auto-inducing peptides (AIPs) from the Staphylococcus aureus and starts producing Antimicrobial peptides in order to kill the Staphylococcus aureus. Different protocols used during the project are described below.
- Transforming Parts from Distribution kit
- Growing the Single Colonies from the Agar Plates
- Making glycerol stocks
- Plasmid Purification Protocol
- Restriction digestion
- Ligation
- Gel Extraction Procedure
- PCR Purification
- Tricine Gels
- General Peptide Production
- SUMO cleavage
- Lysis Protocol
- AIP Sensing Protocol
- Gene Design
- Primer Design
Making glycerol stocks
Requirements:
- bacterial culture
- 80% glycerol
Procedure:
- The bacterial cells are grown overnight.
- In a glass tube take 250 μL of 80 % Glycerol solution.
- Pipet 1mL of the cell culture into 0.25 mL 80% glycerol and mix by vortexing and save in -80 °C freezer.
The glycerol stock can be used whenever required, by just adding 0.5 mL of stock into 5 mL of freshly prepared media.
