Aim of this experiment
The aim of this experiment is to determine whether B. subtilis 168 is able to take up external arginine.
Materials Required
- Plate consisting of Bacillus subtilis 168 colonies.
- Flame (streaking) Loop
- LB media consisting arginine and ampicillin
- Auto pipette
- Bursen Burner
- Universal Tube
Procedure
- Perform the experiment using aseptic technique.
- Transfer B. subtilis 168 colonies into universal tubes containing 5 ml of LB media and allowed to grow overnight at 37° C.
- Transfer 1 ml of the overnight culture to another universal tube containing 4 ml of the following media:
- Negative control (1) - LB media
- Negative control (2) - LB media with 10 mM of arginine
- Test 1 - LB media with 10 mM of arginine plus
- Incubate the culture at 37° C with shaking.
- Record the pH at every 30 min interval.Use 20 ul of the culture and measure the pH using the pH measuring stick.
Inference
Cells will grow overnight at an exponential phase in the universal tube consisting media.
