Julie's Protocols
A warning: these all work for me, but molecular biology is a mysterious thing, so they may not work for you! Please email me at jmaresca (at) mit (dot) edu if you have a question or a problem. Thanks.
Preparation of electrocompetent cells. This works for E. coli, and I have not tested it on any other bacterial species.
Plasmid Minipreps. This is a standard miniprep protocol.
Standard PCR reactions (for normal amplification and for sequencing).
Use of the Sonicator for small bacterial samples.
Reverse-phase HPLC analysis of carotenoids and (bacterio)chlorophylls.
Reverse-phase HPLC analysis of carotenoids produced in E. coli.
