*Inoculate 10ml of LB broth from a single colony of ''B.subtilis'' on an LB agar plate and grow overnight at 37<sup>o</sup>
*Inoculate 10ml of LB media in a 100ml flask from a single colony of ''B.subtilis'' on an LB agar plate and grow overnight at 37<sup>o</sup>C.
'''''Day 2'''''
'''''Day 2'''''
*Collect 100ml of pre-warmed LB broth, remove 1ml and measure the OD<sub>600</sub> and keep as a blank. Then remove the rest of the overnight culture and add to the LB broth. Grow this culture at 37<sup>o</sup>C with vigorous aeration to an OD600 of 1.5-2.0. (Check every 1 hour)
*Pre-warm 100ml of LB broth (in a 1 litre flask) at 37<sup>o</sup>C. Remove 1ml of this media and measure the OD<sub>600</sub>, keeping this curvette as will later act as a blank.  
*Once an OD<sub>600</sub> of 1.5-2.0 is reached the cells should be aliquoted into 100ml centrifugation tubes and  centrifugation at 4000 g for 15 minutes. After this the supernatent should be removed and washed in 100ml of ddH<sub>2</sub>O and centrifuged again. Repeat this wash twice.
*Collect the overnight culture, remove 0.5ml of the overnight culture and add 1ml of LB media in a curvette and measure the O.D.<sub>600</sub>. Remove the remaining 9ml of the overnight culture and add to 100ml of LB broth. Grow this culture at 37<sup>o</sup>C with vigorous aeration (200rpm) to an OD<sub>600</sub> of 1.5.
*After the last wash cells are resuspended in 30% polyethyleneglycol (PEG) 6000 to 1% of the original culture volume (So if our orginal volume was 100ml then we resuspend in 1ml).  
*Once at an OD<sub>600</sub> of 1.5 the cells should be aliquoted into 4x50ml Falcon tubes and  centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 15 minutes at RT. After this, remove the supernatent and resuspend the pellets in 10ml of ddH<sub>2</sub>O. Combine the 4x resuspended pellets so we get 2x50ml falcon tubes and repeat spin. After this remove the supernatent and resuspend in 25ml of ddH<sub>2</sub>O and repeat the spin.  
*The cells are then dispensed into 100 μl aliquots into 1.5ml eppendorff tubes and rapidly frozen on dry ice. Once frozen the cells are stored in the –80 freezer.
*After the last wash the cells are resuspended in 30% polyethyleneglycol (PEG) 6000 to 1% of the original culture volume (So if our orginal volume was 100ml then we resuspend in 1ml). To do this pipette 1ml of PEG into one pellet and resuspend, then pipette this suspension into the next pellet and resuspend.
*100 μl of cells are then to be thawed on ice. While thawing cells add 500 ng  of DNA into 10μl of water, gently mix and transfer to a pre-chilled 0.2 cm gap electroporation cuvette. Add cells to the electroporation cuvette.  
*This suspension should then be seperated into 100ul samples and pipetted into 1.5ml eppendorff tubes. After pipetting each aliquote place into a tray of dry ice to rapidly freeze samples and store at -80<sup>o</sup>C.  
*Now add pulse the cells on the following settings:
<br>
**Field Strength - 12kv/cm
'''''Electroporation'''''<br>
*Remove a 100 μl aliquote and thaw on ice. Add 50μl of cells to a fresh eppendorf tube (50μl = 1 condition). To this add the DNA (Concentrations should range from 50ng-500ng) in a total volume of 10μl (Make up to water if nessicary).
*Now add to prechilled 0.1cm Electroporation gap curvettes and perform transformation with the following settings:
**Field Strength - 12kv/cm (1.2kv)
**Capacitamce - 25µF
**Capacitamce - 25µF
**Resistance - 400 ohms  
**Resistance - 400 ohms  
**Pulse Length - 8msec
**Pulse Length - 8msec
*After transformation the cells should then be immediately diluted in 2ml of SOC broth and transferred to 15 ml Falcon centrifuge tubes.  
*After transformation add 1ml of SOC broth to the curvette and pipette into a 15ml falcon tube where a further 1ml of SOC broth should be added.  
*Cells were incubated at 37<sup>o</sup>C with gentle shaking for 90 minutes to allow expression of the antibiotic resistance.
*Place these tubes into the incubator at 37<sup>o</sup>C with gentle shaking for 90 minutes to allow expression of the antibiotic resistance.
*After 90 minutes the cells were spuin down at 3000g for 10 minutes and the majority of the supernatent removed. Cells were then resuspended in the remaining media and streaked out onto an LB agar plate.  
*After 90 minutes the cells should be centrifuged at 4000rpm for 15 minutes at room temperature. After spinning the majority of the supernatent should be removed, leaving enough media to allow resuspension ~ typically 100-200μln is ideal.
*This suspension should be aliquoted into the center of an LB plate containing suitable resistance and streaked out on an LB agar plate.

Protocol

Preperation of Competent Cells
Day 1

  • Inoculate 10ml of LB media in a 100ml flask from a single colony of B.subtilis on an LB agar plate and grow overnight at 37oC.

Day 2

  • Pre-warm 100ml of LB broth (in a 1 litre flask) at 37oC. Remove 1ml of this media and measure the OD600, keeping this curvette as will later act as a blank.
  • Collect the overnight culture, remove 0.5ml of the overnight culture and add 1ml of LB media in a curvette and measure the O.D.600. Remove the remaining 9ml of the overnight culture and add to 100ml of LB broth. Grow this culture at 37oC with vigorous aeration (200rpm) to an OD600 of 1.5.
  • Once at an OD600 of 1.5 the cells should be aliquoted into 4x50ml Falcon tubes and centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 15 minutes at RT. After this, remove the supernatent and resuspend the pellets in 10ml of ddH2O. Combine the 4x resuspended pellets so we get 2x50ml falcon tubes and repeat spin. After this remove the supernatent and resuspend in 25ml of ddH2O and repeat the spin.
  • After the last wash the cells are resuspended in 30% polyethyleneglycol (PEG) 6000 to 1% of the original culture volume (So if our orginal volume was 100ml then we resuspend in 1ml). To do this pipette 1ml of PEG into one pellet and resuspend, then pipette this suspension into the next pellet and resuspend.
  • This suspension should then be seperated into 100ul samples and pipetted into 1.5ml eppendorff tubes. After pipetting each aliquote place into a tray of dry ice to rapidly freeze samples and store at -80oC.


Electroporation

  • Remove a 100 μl aliquote and thaw on ice. Add 50μl of cells to a fresh eppendorf tube (50μl = 1 condition). To this add the DNA (Concentrations should range from 50ng-500ng) in a total volume of 10μl (Make up to water if nessicary).
  • Now add to prechilled 0.1cm Electroporation gap curvettes and perform transformation with the following settings:
    • Field Strength - 12kv/cm (1.2kv)
    • Capacitamce - 25µF
    • Resistance - 400 ohms
    • Pulse Length - 8msec
  • After transformation add 1ml of SOC broth to the curvette and pipette into a 15ml falcon tube where a further 1ml of SOC broth should be added.
  • Place these tubes into the incubator at 37oC with gentle shaking for 90 minutes to allow expression of the antibiotic resistance.
  • After 90 minutes the cells should be centrifuged at 4000rpm for 15 minutes at room temperature. After spinning the majority of the supernatent should be removed, leaving enough media to allow resuspension ~ typically 100-200μln is ideal.
  • This suspension should be aliquoted into the center of an LB plate containing suitable resistance and streaked out on an LB agar plate.
