Return to Janet's Protocols

growing culture

  1. streak fresh plates from freezer stock
  2. inoculate overnight cultures for subsequent inoculation
  3. inoculate into 100 mL of M9 media (or 50 mL of TB)
  4. grow to mid-exponential at 37oC, shaking at 225 rpm
  5. add inducers (aTc & IPTG) and shake at 18oC & 200 rpm for 36 hours!

storing cells

  1. split each between 2 50 mL flasks
  2. centrifuge for 20 min at 4oC & 5000 rpm (add 10 min if needed)
  3. flash freeze with liquid N2
  4. store @ -80oC (she says you generally do) in a magic blue box
