THT Staining - Chaplin ladder


THT reference

Making a reference of pure chaplins is of great importance when comparing results. For a reference 22 mg of extracted and freeze-dried celwalls of streptomyces were used. Chaplins from these cellwalls were then purified by TFA treatment. The monomerized chaplins were diluted in 1 ml demiwater. Then a variety of dilutions was made with demiwater.

Amount of diluted chaplin protein in a 250 ul sample (high concentration reference):


100%
51,2%
25,6%
12,8%
6,4%
3,2%
1,6%

Expression experiment - David & Peter


The first expression experiment, testing all the constructs that were made so far. We tested for treated pellet and supernatant, untreated pellets were tested as well.

Exression experiment


Peter & David


For this experiment, the following B. subtilis 168 strains were used:





All cultures were grown overnight at 37 degrees Celsius in a shaker room.


Overnight cultures were used to dilute to a B. subtilis culture of 0,1 OD, these strains were divided into ‘’induced’’ and ‘’non-induced’’. Induction with 0,5% subtilin was done at a OD of 0,5 (approximately 2,5 hours after growth of the 0,1 culture started).


After that the OD of the cultures was measured every .. hours.


Sample preperation


After .. hours, .. after induction, the samples were collected and processed. The following procedures were used:


Pellet preperation (PelletPrepGR)


Supernatant processing (SupernatantPrepGR)


Cell disruption (ExtractionCellWallsGR)


Lysozyme preperation (LysozymePrepGR)


Analysis was done using SDS-PAGE (SDS-PAGEGR) and THT staining (THTstainingGR).


Results:

Geeske

Double gene constructs had to be made via pSB1C3 or pSB1K3. Produced the following constructs: pSB1C3_CH, pSB1C3_dCH, pSB1C3_dCS and pSB1C3_H, but no restriction check performed yet.


Modellers: More literature research on ComXPA. Joël, Laura. Researching parts registry for information which is required to build an information standard Arend Find information about a killswitch, start to model this process Laura
