Experiments

Transformation into Thermococcus

  • Grow overnight cultures of TK
  • add plasmid, buffer
  • heat shock
  • spread onto -trp plates
  • incubate in canister with anaerobic pack for 3-5 days
  • Pick cultures into epe tubes filled with .8X asw
  • spot each culture to a discreet portion of a lovastatin plate
  • Incubate for 3-5 days
  • Remove 20 cultures and put each of them into a of complete ASW media, containing
    1. ASW liquid media
    2. Lovastatin
    3. Agmatine
    4. Sulfur
    5. KOD vitamins
  • Place in incubator until grown (supposed to be 12-16 hr)

  • Describe the research, experiments, and protocols you used in your iGEM project. These should be detailed enough for another team to repeat your experiments.

    Please remember to put all characterization and measurement data for your parts on the corresponding Registry part pages.

    What should this page contain?
    • Protocols
    • Experiments
    • Documentation of the development of your project
