BROM F1 (F1) and (F2)

Day -8 (Oct 27th Mon):
10/27/2008 (5:00 - 8:00) HAVC system test, no access to building              10/27/2008 (14:00 - 15:00) Based on Western Blooting results, Y98C colony 9 was chosen for fermentation. Based on activity screening, D5 (double horns) colony 5 was chosen for fermention.

Day -7 (Oct 28th Tue):
             10/28/2008 (14:00)     Decided not to plate the yeast to reselect colonies for both Y98C and D5                                                    because fresh stocks were recently made.

Day -6 (Oct 29th Wed):
Discussion about Feeding strategy for Mutants (Mut+/Muts) :There are couple of referenes I recommend you to read. References regarding Feeding:  [[Media:DAnjou_(2000)_Biotech._Bioeng._(72).pdf]] [[Media:Loewen_(1997)_Appl._Microbiol._Biotechnol._48_p480.pdf]] Effect of Ethanol or Acetate on Protein Expression in Pichia pastoris: [[Media:Meagher_(2001)_J._Bioscience._Bioeng._92_p337.pdf]]

10/29/2008 (19:30 - 19:40) Expected Power Outrage, No access to building 10/29/2008 (19:45 - 22:45) Multiple stop/start for breif duration

             10/29/2008 (18:45 - 19:45)  The papaers above suggested two valuable points for Picha fermentation. 1. Because Mut+ strains also utilize MeOH as a carbon sourse, it would be better to limit the cells growth to a                            relatively lower O.D. (O.D. = 6) before passage to BMMY from BMGY. 2. Acetic acid was suggested to reduce protein production in Pichia. Therefore, we decided to use  1M HCl to regulate the pH.

Day -5 (Oct 30th Thu):
             10/30/2008 (12:00)     Prepared 500mL MD media for first stage cell culturing and 500mL BMGY for second stage culturing before fermentation for each mutant. 10/30/2008 (13:00)    Decided with Sung-Hye to set up glycerol pump for O.D. Control.           10/31/2008 (13:00)     Leaving early

Day -4 (Oct 31st Fri):
             10/31/2008 (12:00 - 18:00)  Autoclaved two 100ml flasks and two 500ml flasks for culturing. Prepared all necessary media and media components for fermentation, including 1. 1.5L 10x YNB (filtered, excess amount) 2. 1.5L Phosphate buffer, pH 6.0 (autoclaved, excess amount) 3. 1L 10x Glycerol (filtered) 4. 100mL 500x Biotin (filtered, excess amount) 5. 1.5L 10x Methanol (5%):wrong! (filtered, excess amount)

Day -3 (Nov 1st Sat):
             11/1/2008 (17:00 - 18:00)  culturing 20uL stocks of Y98C and D5 in 5mL MD media at 30C over night.

Day -2 (Nov 2nd Sun):
             11/2/2008 (17:00 - 18:00)  O.D.(both mutants)= 6.0. Spin down the cells (Y98C and D5) at 2000g for 5 minutes and resuspend them in 10mL BMGY. Transfer 100uL of the resuspended culture of each mutant to 50mL BMGY for over night culturing.

Day -1 (Nov 3rd Mon):
          11/3/2008 (11:00)     Prepared bottles for Acid/Base, MeOH, Glycerol, Label for each fermenter.              11/3/2008 (12:00)     Gave all the necessary media components, as well as two 4L BMXY (non-sterile) media to                                                   Sung-Hye.              11/3/2008 (13:00)     Both mutant cultures (Y98C and D5) reached O.D =6. Take 1mL of each culture and regrew them in 500mL BMGY for next day fermentation. <Sung-Hye>          11/3/2008 (13:25)     Assemble bioreactors: 1. 2 x 3.5-L of BMXY: 2. 2 ml of antifoam/ fermenter Autoclave <Sung-Hye>          11/3/2008 (15:40)     Cooling bioreactors 11/3/2008 (15:40)    Purge Air (1 L/min) at 100 rpm 11/3/2008 (15:48)    Start OD probe software 11/3/2008 (15:50)    Start Fermenter #1 software 11/3/2008 (15:53)    Start Fermenter #2 software 11/3/2008 (16:00 - 17:30) Transfer nutrients into bioreactors: Transfer using autoclave bottle/tube and pumps. 3. 2 x 500 ml of 10x Potassium Phosphate: Fermenter #2 was added using syringe/niddle at first and then switched to pump. 4. 2 x 500 ml of 10x YNB 5. 2 x 10 ml of 500x Biotin

Day 3 (Nov 7th Fri):
<Sung-Hye>          11/7/2008 (8:30)       Resume MeOH pump for F1                             11/7/2008 (8:30)        Acid (250 ml)  Base (370 ml) MeOH (200 ml)

Discussion about MeOH Concentration : It turned out that MeOH concentration used for BROM F1 F1/F2 was 20 times diluted. That means that MeOH calibration is off and concentration of MeOH is 20 times lower than we think. (It also explains why MeOH pumps went "safty cut-off") Sung-Hye discussed with Kevin and decided to continue current (F1) fermentation by re-calibrating MeOH with concented sample and hope that cells weren't starved too much. Kevin's microscopic observation tells that cells are still deviding (budding) which is a good sign.

<Kevin>             11/7/2008 (15:30)       Prepare 5x MeOH for refill (1050 ml): We did not use.
