BROM F4

Day -4 (Sep 4 Fri):
Discussion about Glycerol Feeding Methods and Inoculum 1. Glycerol feeding: Start fermentation with BMGY: 1% final concentration of Glycerol in 5-L media. No more additional feeding will be added. Based on BROM F1 experiment, metabolism switch from Glycerol to MeOH occurred around 22hr fermentation 14 hr MeOH induction We don't have record of OD of that time, but OD measurement at 28:30 hr fermentation was 12-13. We want to keep the same condition, and hope that cells are continue to grow to 20 or more in the presence of MeOH (set to 0.5%). 2. Inoculum volume and density: Same as BROM F1, but inoculate late of Day 0 17:00.  Change #1: Use incubator in Fermenter room              9/4/2009 (12:30)  Autoclaved one 500ml flask for culturing. Prepared all necessary media components for fermentation: 1. 1.0L 10x YNB (filtered, excess amount) 2. 1.0L Phosphate buffer, pH 6.0 (autoclaved, excess amount) 3. 0.5L 10x Glycerol (filtered) 4. 20mL 500x Biotin (filtered, excess amount) (Take half of each above media components, and combine them to make 1 bottles of 1.25L culturing media)  Change #2: MeOH concentration is 100% 5. 6L 100% Methanol(non-HPLC grade)

Day -3 (Sep 7 Mon):
Holiday

Day -2 (Sep 8 Tue):
             9/8/2009 (12:30) Used MD media for first stage cell culturing 2 flasks of 250mL BMGY for second stage culturing before fermentation for each mutant.              9/8/2009 (12:50) Culture 5uL stocks D5 in 6mL MD media at 28.5C over night.

             9/9/2009 (16:00)     Mutant reached O.D =6 Take 0.1 mL of each culture and regrew them in 250mL BMGY for next day fermentation.              9/9/2009 (17:00) Leave the master culturing media containing the following items in the fermenter room: 1) Potassium Phosphate                                                 2) YNB 3) Biotin                                                 4) Glycerol
