Week2(7/31/2016-8/6/2016)

Optimization of Culture Conditions

Jul.31th

Cultured Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 in M9 medium with sodium terephthalate and glucose at 30℃ & 200 rpm, checked the bacterial concentration at OD₆₀₀ and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at OD₂₄₂.

Aug.4th

Observed the growth of 1-day pre-cultured bacteria in LB at 30℃:

All above were kept culturing for one more day and were checked on the next day. The next step was to explore the optimal condition for each bacterium and to co-culture each teo of them to see whether the consortium could work well.

The most probable pairs:
1. P.putida KT2440 + R.jostii RHA1;
2. B.subtilis 168 + R.jostii RHA1;
3. B.subtills 168 + P.putida KT2440;
4. R.jostii RHA1 + Y.lipolytia;
5. P.putida KT2440 + Y.lipolytia;
6. E.coli(RFP) + Y.lipolytia.

Aug.5th

Cultured different bacteria in M9 medium with sodium terephthalate at 30℃ & 200 rpm, checked the bacterial concentration at OD₆₀₀ and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at OD₂₄₂: The growth of each bacterium was not as expected, so we considered culturing bacteria in improved W medium.

Co-cultured different pairs in improved W medium in the same condition (using two tubes in each group):

Co-cultured different pairs in LB medium in the same condition(using two tubes in each group):

Aug.6th

Co-cultured different pairs in improved W medium in the same condition (using two tubes in each group):

Microscopic examination of each bacterium and each pair by means of Fuchsin or Gram dye. To our surprise, there were some pairs (P.p + R.j) living well in the same tube and also there were some pairs we were not sure. It seemed that P.putida KT2440 was the dominant bacterium when it was co-cultured with others. We were thinking about limiting its growth by control ingredients in different media.

Construction of PBBR

Aug.5th

Extraction of plasmid pBBR1MCS-2

Aug.6th

Cut pBBR1MCS-2 with restricted enzymes Xba1 and Sac1 and checked by agarose gel electrophoresis:
Failed. After gel recovery, the concentration of digested pBBR1MCS-2 was 2.4 ng/μl, which was too low to be used in the next step.

Gene Knockout of Escherichia coli

We tried to copy tet gene(tetracycline resistance gene) in two overlap area of the fragment(about 500bp and 1000bp,called ‘tet-1’ and ‘tet-2’) and the homologous arms of the knockout gene-atpF and atpH(about 450bp each,called ‘left’ and ‘right’)with the help of PCR.

Week3(8/7/2016-8/13/2016)

Optimization of Culture Conditions

Aug.7th

For each pair, we checked the bacterial concentration at OD_600 and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at Abs_242.According to results of the UV tests, if R.j existed, whatever the strategy was, the concentration of TPA would significantly decrease. Especially for pairs R.j+P.p and R.j + B.s, results showed greater reductions in the concentration of TPA compared with control group.

Pre-culture and acclimatize P.putida KT2440 in a condition with 5% EG To our surprise, this wild type of P.putida could grow well in this condition, we considered increasing the concentration of EG in the condition.
