B. subtilis transformation


The Losick protocol is used
Day 0: Streak out the Bacillus strain of use and plate this on an LB agar plate o/n at 37°C.

Transformation (D-Day):
1. Pick up a nice big colony and drop it in 2ml of completed MC (1x) (see sub1).
2. Grow at 37 °C for 5 hours (longer if the culture is not really turbid).
3. Mix 400µl of culture with DNA* in a fresh tube (i.e. 15ml tubes loosely closed – aeration)
4. Grow the cells at 37°C for an additional 2 hours .
5. Spread the complete 400µl reaction mix on selective antibiotic plates, and incubate at 37°C overnight.

(*usually 1µl. Then 10µl of Quiagen plasmid miniprep or <1µl of chromosomal prep)
