Method

  • OD600 recorded in 1ml cuvette and converted into cell number using calibration graph
  • 500ul of this culture was extracted & centrifuged (5 min, low speed.)
  • Supernatant removed and discarded (no further analysis due to viscosity problems)
  • Pellet washed (resuspend in 1ml SDW and centrifuge 5 min, low speed.)
  • Pellet resuspended in 1.5ml SDW, cells then fractured by 3 rounds of freeze-thaw lysis in liquid nitrogen.
  • Flame photometry performed on most sensitive setting (See calibration graph)
