<u>Culturing and Preserving Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii </u><BR>
 
Prior to beginning the culturing of the Chlamydomonas<BR>
 
Place cells upright away from direct sunlight in a tube rack or beaker. Keep them in a cool area at room temperature until they are ready to be cultured<BR>
 
(DO NOT leave them unattended for more than three days. If they are not going to be treated within the first 36 hours of arrival, transfer the cell culture to a weak nutrient solution like half-strength Alga-Gro® Medium or minimal growth medium).<BR>
 
Autoclave anything that will be touching the cell culture (Erlenmeyer flasks, pipette tips, etc.) for 15 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure <BR>
 
Set up the (2) 40 watt light bulbs about 45 to 60 cm above the culture  <BR>
 
Cover the area in foil to retain heat <BR>
 
Beginning the culture <BR>
 
In a sterile hood, pipette 200mL of TAP medium into a 500mL Erlenmeyer flask<BR>
 
Pipette 10mL of the Chlamydomonas strain into a 500mL Erlenmeyer flask containing the 200mL fresh medium (If the medium is grown in a slant tube, in a sterile field, use an inoculating loop to pull out some of the Chlamydomonas and place it in the 200 mL of fresh medium)<BR>
 
Parafilm seal the Erlenmeyer flask to prevent contamination and place the flask on a stir plate on top of the petri dish lid<BR>
 
Check it every so often to make sure there is continuous movement (YOU DO NOT WANT ANY SHADOW AREAS) <BR>
 
Set a timer to alternate between light and dark every 12 hours <BR>
 
Using a spectrophotometer measure the growth of the cell culture everyday at the same times (Set the spectrophotometer at 750nm and use identical Kimax tubes)<BR>
 
Incubate the cell culture until the growth curve reaches 0.5 <BR>
 
Once the cell culture reaches 0.5 on the spectrophotometer and the culture’s cell density of approximately 0.9-2.0 x 107 ml-1 (3-5 days after transfer, late linear phase), aliquot the cells into 1.5mL Eppendorf tubes <BR>
 
Have liquid nitrogen ready in a foam container to snap freeze the aliquots<BR>
