QS induction from a QS OFF state
Using Becky's PAO1 Pprobe-(X QS gene) strains with gent resistance
QS is OFF when OD is below 0.2 (Becky has used from 0.05-0.2)
To ensure there are usable cells the day you want to start the experiement:
- From an LB gm plate with experimental strain, inoculate into 3 mL LB+gm+MOPs
- Make a series of dilutions, one of which should be at the right OD to set up:
- -1:100
- -1:10
- -1:2
- -1:2
- -1:2
Shake overnight at 37°C
If using wt PAO1, add an extra 1:100 dilution?
