'''*[[User:Megan N McClean|Megan N McClean]]''': Make sure to keep track of lot numbers (write it down in your notebook, on your stock solutions, and each time you do an experiment with α-factor).  '''Really'''.  Please do this!
'''*[[User:Megan N McClean|Megan N McClean]]''': Every time you do this protocol you need to check the drug stock concentrations.  For example, the last time the G418 stock was made up the activity of the drug wasn't taken into account, which is why it is a 142mg/ml stock instead of a 200mg/ml stock.  Double-check the stock solutions and your final desired concentration before making up the media.


'''*[[User:Megan N McClean|Megan N McClean]]''': I generally find it useful to make a series of 1:10 dilutions of the α-factor (1mg/mL, 100μg/mL, 10μg/mL, 1μg/mL) when I first make the stock, as these are 1000x the concentrations I generally start out with for most experiments (so that I can add 1μL of stock solution per ml of media).  I usually make 900μL of all of these dilute stocks (ie, start with 100μL of 1mg/ml stock +900μL of DMSO for the 100μg/mL stock, from that take 100μL and add it to another 900μL of DMSO for the 10μg/mL, and then once more for the 1μg/mL stock).  I then divide the 900μL into 100μL aliquots so that I don't have to freeze/thaw the entire stock too often.

Overview

Medias used for doing strain construction with the magic marker technology (see references)


Reagents

  • 1.7 g YNB without amino acids without ammonium sulfate (Difco, #233520)
  • 1 g Monosodium glutamate (L-glutamic acid, monosodium salt MP BIomedicals #194677)

For 1L of media the final composition is:

  • 1.7g YNB without amino acids
  • 1 g Monosodium glutamate
  • 20g bacto-agar (2% bacto-agar)
  • 20g glucose (2% glucose)
  • canavanine (50mg/L final)

  • hygromycin (50mg/L final)

Procedure

Combine:

  • 1.7g YNB w/o amino acids or ammonium sulfate
  • 1g monosodium glutamate

Bring volume to 900ml with mili-Q water. Autoclave.

Once the solution is cool (~55°C) add 100ml of 20% glucose and drugs as follows:

  • Canavanine 1000μL of 50mg/ml stock per 1000ml media (1μL stock per ml of media)
  • Thialysine 1000μL of 50mg/ml stock per 1000ml media (1μL stock per ml of media)
  • G418 1408μL of 142mg/ml stock per 1000ml media (1.408μL stock per ml of media)
  • clonNat 1000μL of 50mg/ml stock per 1000ml media (1μL stock per ml of media)
  • hygromycin 6ml of 50mg/ml stock per 1000ml of media (6μL of stock per ml of media)

*Megan N McClean: Every time you do this protocol you need to check the drug stock concentrations. For example, the last time the G418 stock was made up the activity of the drug wasn't taken into account, which is why it is a 142mg/ml stock instead of a 200mg/ml stock. Double-check the stock solutions and your final desired concentration before making up the media.
