-
==Method==
 
-
 
-
Prepare 5 L defined media in 5L conical flask or equivalent
 
-
 
-
--pH from around 2 up to 6..95 with approx 25% ammonia.
 
-
+ acid [to 475 ml RO water, add 25ml 99% sulphuric acid carefully]
 
-
+ base [to 300 ml RO water add 200 ml 25% v/v ammonia stock, IN FUME
 
-
HOOD]
 
-
+ Filt. Sterile antibiotic stocks
 
-
 
-
Autoclave
 
-
4 x l L conicals with 200 ml defined media in them.
 
-
4 x 1 L conicals with LB in them. 200 ml each.
 
-
1 x 2L of defined media into Durans (autoclave) pre-PPG addition
 
-
3 x Tubing for inoculum transfer.
 
-
1 x 100 ml Duran of defined media for OD measurement.
 
-
 
-
Book shakers.
 
-
 
-
Check Oxygen supplies!
 
-

SCHEDULE

-
 
-
'''Day 2'''
 
-
 
-
==INOCULATION SCHEDULE==
 
-
 
-
--use a scrape of glycerol stock to inoculate 5ml complex Luria Bertani broth, no
 
-
antibiotic, grown in 25 ml universal.
 
-
 
-
--incubate at 30°C in an orbital shaker (200 rpm) overnight.
 
-
 
-
 
-
'''Day 3'''
 
-
 
-
==INOCULATION SCHEDULE==
 
-
 
-
--Use 5 ml LB culture to inoculate 200 ml of LB media, containing relevant
 
-
amount of antibiotic for maintenance of plasmid(s).
 
-
 
-
Incubate at 30°C in an orbital shaker (200 rpm) for 4-6 hours to an OD600 1-3.
 
-
Check OD600.
 
-
 
-
Weigh eppendorfs! Label fractionation eppendorfs.
 
-
 
-
Use 20 ml of over-day LB culture to inoculate 200 ml of defined media,
 
-
containing relevant amount of antibiotic for maintenance of plasmid(s). Incubate
 
-
at 30 C, 18-22 hours. 1.5-2.0
 
-
 
-
''Midday''
 
-
 
-
Initialise Fermenter apparatus:
 
-
 
-
  pH calibrate
 
-
 
-
  DOT check
 
-
 
-
-fill fermenter chambers with, typically 900ml media. Add PPG 0.2 ml/L.
 
-
 
-
--wool/foil all filters etc
 
-
 
-
--autoclave
 
-
 
-
prepare/calculate how much antibiotic/inducer is needed.
 
-
 
-
End of autoclave run –
 
-
 
-
--plug in DOT probes, pH probes
 
-
 
-
--connect acid / base lines, assess pumps
 
-
 
-
- connect condenser, etc.
 
-
 
-
Connect up laptop, etc.
 
-
 
-
'''Day 4'''
 
-
 
-
Confirm fermenter status – data logging etc, cascade control etc.
 
-
 
-
Measure OD600 of starter cultures.
 
-
 
-
INOCULATION /FERM.SCHEDULE
 
-
 
-
Use autoclaved tubing to suck out required volume of inoculum for fermentation
 
-
