| |
- | Acid line use 5% v/v 99.8 sulphuric/water)
| |
- |
| |
- | pH probe stored in 3M KCl
| |
- |
| |
- | use dilute ammonia (10 %)
| |
- |
| |
- | DOT probe must be connected 8 hrs pre-use – typically plug in O/N.

- |
| |
- | ==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!
| |

- | '''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
| |
