Project Description

♦Background♦

♦Design♦

In this project, we sought to increase the production of sophorolipids by taking a two-part approach. In the first part, we engineered primers and inserted these into the yeast to be able to produce either normal amounts of sophorolipids or lesser amounts of sophorolipids (gene knockout). In the second part, we extracted these sophorolipids and completed analysis on this.

Agarose Gels

Analytical Gel

• 1-2% Agarose

• Ethidium Bromide (1uL/100mL)

Purification Gel

• .8% Agarose

• Ethidium Bromide (1uL/100mL)

PCR Amplification

• 50ng Template DNA

• 25uL Accuzyme or Hotstart Mix (1uL/100mL)

• 1uL pure DMSO (Optional, use if high GC content)

• 1uL primer stock (10mmol forward and reverse primer)

• Remainder MilliQ

50uL total

We grew the yeast in two types of broth: FM2 and PM2. This is the components of each of those broths.
PM2 Ingredients Amt.(g/L) FM2 Ingredients Amt.(g/L)
Glucose 200 Glucose 100
Yeast Extract 5 Yeast Extract 5
KH2PO4 1 KH2PO4 1
MgSO4 0.5 MgSO4 0.5
CaCl2 0.1 CaCl2 0.1
NaCl 0.1 NaCl 0.1
Peptone 0.7 Peptone 0.7
