Miniprep: on DH5⍺ transformed with BBC45/BBC3/BBX1

Objectives

Purification of BBC45, BBC3, BBX1 plasmids extracted from bacterial mini-cultures.

Materials

8 Mini-cultures of bacteria transformed with BBC45, BBC3, BBX1 realized the 13/10 (put a colony with satisfying PCR results in 5 mL LB+Cm into a 50 mL Falcon tube).
From those mini-cultures, take 500 µL to realize a glycerol stock of tranformed bacteria. The 4.5 mL remaining will serve for the miniprep.

Protocol

The miniprep were realized using the QIAprep® Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen, ref: 27104)

Miniprep:
  1. Divide each 4.5 mL bacterial O/N mini-cultures into 4 Eppendorf tubes and centrifuge all those tubes at 9,000 rpm for 3 min at room temperature. Discard the supernatant.

  2. Resuspend the pellet in 62.5 μL Buffer P1 and pool the 4 Eppendorf tubes into a unique tube.

  3. Add 250 μL Buffer P2 and mix by inverting the tube 6 times. The solution turns blue.

  4. Add 350 μL Buffer N3 and mix by inverting the tube 6 times. The solution turns colorless.

  5. Centrifuge for 10 min at 13,000 rpm.

  6. Load 800 μL supernatant from step 5 to the QIAprep 2.0 spin column. Centrifuge for 1 min and discard the flow-through.

  7. Add 500 µL Buffer PB. Centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm and discard the flow-through.

  8. Add 750 µL Buffer PE. Centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm and discard the flow-through.

  9. Centrifuge once more for 1 min at 13,000 rpm.

  10. Place the QIAprep 2.0 spin column in a clean 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube.

  11. Add 50 μL Buffer EB to the center of the QIAprep 2.0 spin column, let stand for 1 min, and centrifuge for 1 min at 13,000 rpm.

  12. Calculate the quantity of DNA with the Nanodrop.

  13. Store the purified DNA at -20°C.

Bacteria storage :

1. Add 100 µL of glycerol to 100 µL of transformed bacteria in a clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube.

  • 6 tubes of BBC45 (3 per mini-cultures)

  • 12 tubes of BBC3 (3 per mini-cultures)

  • 12 tubes of BBX1 (3 per mini-cultures)

  • 2. Store at -80°C.
