amino acid drop out mix - MetabolicEngineeringGroupCBMA/MetabolicEngineeringGroupCBMA.github.io GitHub Wiki
This Spreadsheet has a detailed recipe.
Use:
- 2.028 g/L of the complete mixture
- 1.388 g/L of the Dropout - Histidin Uracile Leucine Trypthophan (-HULT)
- 1.308 g/L of the Dropout - Histidin Uracile Leucine Trypthophan Methionine (-HULTM)
- 0.640 g/L of the HULT (Histidin, Uracile, Leucine and Tryptophan only)
It can be practical to make stock solutions of aminoacids and nucleotides. Some aminoacids are not very soluble, using a slightly acid solution usually helps. The data below is from here. The data for uracile is from here.
AA | Solubility | final c in medium | times concentrated | Stock soln c | g/ 50 mL | µL/plate (20 mL) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
g/L | mg/L | stock solution | g/L | |||
HIS | 41 | 80 | 100 | 8 | 0.4 | 200 |
URA | 3.6 | 80 | 25 | 2 | 0.1 | 800 |
LEU | 24 | 400 | 50 | 20 | 1.0 | 400 |
TRP | 11 | 80 | 100 | 8 | 0.4 | 200 |
MET | 33 | 80 | 100 | 8 | 0.4 | 200 |
It is practical to make 50 mL of solution for each component as this fit in our plastic syringes (for filtering).
- Add about 20-30 mL of hot dH2O water in a 50 mL falcon tube
- Add the amount specified in the secon last column
- Shake until dissolved.
- Add water to 50 mL, the graduation on the Falcon tube has enough accuracy
- Filter using syringe with 0.2 µM into a sterile Falcon tube
- Store at room temperature, or the solutions may precipitate.
