Solutions, Media and Petri Dishes

Antibiotics

Carbenicillin:
Put 150 mg of Carbenicilline in 15 mL of distilled water (10 mg per mL).
Filter with a 0,22 µm millipore,divide in 2 mL tubes and store at -4 °C.
Use 1 µL of Carbenicillin for 1 mL of solution.

Chloramphenicol:
Put 525 mg of Kanamycin in 15 mL of ethanol (35 mg per mL).
Filter with a 0,22 µm millipore,divide in 2 mL tubes and store at -4 °C.
Use 25 µL of Chloramphenicol for 1 mL of solution.

Kanamycin:
Put 750 mg of Kanamycin in 15 mL of distilled water (50 mg per mL).
Filter with a 0,22 µm millipore,divide in 2 mL tubes and store at -4 °C.
Use 1 µL of Kanamycin for 1 mL of solution.

Spectinomycin:
Put mg of Spectinomycin in 15 mL of ( mg per mL).
Filter with a 0,22 µm millipore,divide in 2 mL tubes and store at °C.
Use µL of Spectinomycin for 1 mL of solution.

Carbenicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis, kanamycin and spectinomycin interfer with mRNA traduction and chloramphenicol inhibits ribosomial peptidyl transferase activity.

LB and LB Agar

Mix 20 g of LB Broth in 1L of distilled water in a bottle of 1L, then put in autoclave.
Mix 17,5 g of LB Agar in 500 mL of distilled water in a bottle of 1L, then put in autoclave.

M9 Medium

Composition for 50 mL of:

Reagent M9 medium (without iron) M9 medium (with iron)
M9 salt (5X) 10 mL
CaCl2 (1M) 5 µL
MgSO4 (1M) 100 µL
Glycerol (50%) 800 µL
Thiamine 5 µL
NaOH (pH 7.4) 12.5 µL
H2O 40 mL 39 mL
FeSO4 (10mM) - 50 µL
Casamino acids (0.2%) - 1 mL


Once the mixture is prepared, the medium must be filtered to be sterilised using 0.22 µm filter.

Petri dish

Melt the LB Agar in a microwave, and split it in 50 mL tubes.
When the tubes have cooled, put the necessary amount of antibiotics in it (50 µL for Carbenicillin and Kanamycin, 1250 µL for Chloramphenicol) and mix thoroughly.
Put 25 mL of the solution in a Petri dish.

CaCl2 and CaCl2+glycerol

Solution for 1M Cacl2:
Add 14,30g of CaCl2 into 100 ml desalted water

Solution for 0,1M Cacl2:
Add 50 mL of CaCl2 1M solution into 450 ml of desalted water

Solution for 0,1M Cacl2 + 15% glycerol:
Add 50 mL of CaCl2 1M solution and 75 mL of glycerol 100% into 450 ml of desalted water

Tris HCl

Disolve 4,6g of Trisbase in 30 mL of distilled water.
Adjust pH with concentrated HCl(~4 mL) until pH=7,5.
Add distilled water until 50 mL then put in autoclave.
If the solution has a yellow coloration, do the preparation again with better Trisbase.

Tris HCl is used to store DNA.
