March 12, 2007: Motility Assay
Experiment Aims
Test motility on a variety of surface hardnesses in order to determine optimal level to use for assays.
Procedure
Eiken Agar Plates were made using a modified version of general procedure 1. Increased agar concentrations were made to increase hardness of gel and reduce the speed of motility.
.20% Eiken Agar Plates:
- .25g Bactotryptone
- .20g NaCl
- .15g sodium citrate
- .05g Eiken Agar (for 20EikenAgar)
.30% Eiken Agar Plates:
- .25g Bactotryptone
- .20g NaCl
- .15g sodium citrate
- .075g Eiken Agar (for 30EikenAgar)
.40% Eiken Agar Plates:
- .25g Bactotryptone
- .20g NaCl
- .15g sodium citrate
- .10g Eiken Agar (for 40EikenAgar
- Constructs were transformed into RP3087
- YFP Sender Cells-Sender (LVA+)-RP3087 w/ [I14032+B0030+C0161 A3]+E0430
- Sender Cells-Sender-RP3087 w/ I14032+B0030+C0161 (B2)
- Receiver-RFP+Receiver-RP3087 w/ I13321+[J09855+B0033+J09274]
- Grown overnight at 37 degrees C on 50 micromolar Kan LB plates
- 3mL cultures inoculated off of the plate and grown at 30 degrees C until OD590~.45
- 3uL placed of receiver cells placed in various distances from 3uL inoculated sender colony.
Results:

Observations:
.20% agar results in good motility but is very fragile .30% agar results in fair motility and is much easier to handle .40% agar results in no motility
Conclusions:
Future Experiments:
Retry .20% Agar experiments with set distances away from sender Experiment with temperature changes
