Protocol
A. Culture CP919
B. Put Aqueorin-GFP into plasmid .
C. Transform the cp919 into the Midnight Apollo!
D. Sense the light.
E. In the dark, the Midnight Apollo! is activated and emit the light.
Competent Cell (CP919-Cph8)
- Day1. Streak out the E.coli strain on an LB plate (with kanamycin)and incubate at 37℃ overnight (16-20 hours).
- Day2. Select a single colony and inoculate 10 ml sterile LB and grow overnight (16-20 hours) in a 37℃ shaker incubator.
- Day3. Add 2ml overnight culture to 250ml flask containing 100 ml LB.
- Grow the cultures to OD600 = 0.2~0.4 (incubate with shaking for 75~90 min.)
- Spin down the bacteria at 4℃,3000 rpm for 10 min.
- Discard the supernatant and mix the cell pellet with 10ml FSB.
- Keep the cells on ice for 3~4 hours.
- Spin down, at 4℃,3000 rpm for 10 min.
- Discard the supernatant and mix the cell pellet with 5ml FSB.
- Pipet 200μl of the cell suspension into sterile 1.5ml eppendorf tubes. Freeze these tubes in liquid nitrogen, then transfer them to -80℃ freezer.
Tansformation Protocol
- Take competent cell in an eppendorf tube from -80℃ freezer put in ice.
- Add 2ul plasmid to competent cell and place in ice for 5 minutes.
- Put the transformed cells into 42℃ water bath for 60 seconds.
- Then place the cells in ice for 2 minutes.
- Add 1ml LB to the cells and mixed.
- Put the eppendorf tube in 37℃ water bath and incubate for an hour.
- Spin down at 7000 rpm for 5 minutes and remove most of the supernatant.
- While the cells are incubated at 37℃ water bath spread 100ul Ampicilin(50mg/ml) on the plate. When the plate is dried, spread bacteria on the plate.
- Incubate at 37℃ incubater for 16~18 hours.
PCR
1. Dissolve the primers in water to have the concentration of 10nM.
2. PCR reaction mixer:
