Emulsifier

The K12 cultures were grown over night on M9. We tried to do 2 experiments today. One for getting samples for a protein gel and another one for samples for the emulsifier assay.

Protein gel

One 50 mL tube with 10 mL M9 + Glucose was inocculated with K12 that was transformed with 206. Once the OD600 was 0.6 the protein production was induced by adding IPTG to a final concentration of 1 mM. Samples were taken every hour, for 4 hours and over night.

# Time point OD600
1 0 0.6
2 1 1.0
3 2 1.16
4 3 1.17
5 4
6 0/n

0.5 mL samples were taken, spinned down, and the sup and pellet were stored at -20.

Emulsifier assay

The experiment was done in triplo. 50 mL tubes were filled with 10 mL M9 + glucose and inocculated. Once OD600 was 0.6 the protein production was induced by adding IPTG to a final concentration of 1 mM.

1 mL samples were taken at T=0, 2 and 4.

The samples were immediately subjected to the emulsifier assay with Sudan II.

T=0 (Tris Blank + Sudan II = 0.282)

# Culture Sudan II Absorption 493 nm
1 1 - 0.981
2 1 + 1.211
3 2 - 0.985
4 2 + 1.266
5 3 - 0.985
6 3 + 1.243

T=2 (Tris Blank + Sudan II = 0.322)

# Culture Sudan II Absorption 493 nm
1 1 - 1.408
2 1 + 1.745
3 2 - 1.417
4 2 + 1.736
5 3 - 1.404
6 3 + 1.601

T=4 (Tris Blank + Sudan II = 0.280)

# Culture Sudan II Absorption 493 nm
1 1 - 1.441
2 1 + 1.716
3 2 - 1.443
4 2 + 1.656
5 3 - 1.460
6 3 + 1.759
