Back to Electro-transformation of Lactobacillus spp.
Overview
Electrotransformation procedure for Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus helveticus.
Procedure
Prepare Electrocompetent cells
- Use overnight culture (106 CFU/mL) to inoculate 100mL MRS containing 1% glycine.
- Grow until OD660 = 0.2-0.3.
- Place culture into two 50mL centrifuge tubes and chill on ice for 10 mins.
- Wash 2X with cold washing buffer (5 mM NaH2PO4, 1mM MgCl2, pH 7.4):
- Centrifuge for 5min at 4000g.
- Resuspend in unspecified amount of washing-buffer.
- Repeat.
- Concentrate in electroporation-buffer (1mM sucrose, 3mM MgCl2, pH 7.4):
- Centrifuge for 5min at 4000g
- Resuspend in unsepcified amount of electroportion buffer.
- Keep on ice and transform cells within 30 minutes.
Electroporation
- Add 1μL (25 ng/μL) of plasmid DNA to 50 ul (108 CFU/ml) of ice-cold cell suspension.
- Electroporate at 12.5 kV/cm (pulse number = 10, puse interval = 500 ms).
- Dilute electroporated cells to 1ml in MRS broth and incubate at 37°CC for 3 hours.
- Plate bacteria onto MRS agar plates with appropriate antibiotic.
- Incubate under anaerobic conditions.
