SOPs

Detection of small RNAs by blot hybridization.

Describes the steps required in order to detect and quantify alcohols and other volatile compounds in microbial culture supernatants by gas chromatography with a flame-ionization detector (GC-FID).

This protocol describes the analysis of RNA-Seq data to identify differential expressed genes between two samples. The protocol is simply the analysis of the data and do not include the sequencing protocol.

Describes the cultivation-, washing- and electroporation-steps required in order to transform bacterial cells with DNA.

Describes the steps required in order to run an error-prone PCR (epPCR) for the creation of DNA libraries of a given template gene.

Oxygen gradients were developed as a quick and easy way to simultaneously adapt (recombinant) strains to decreasing levels of oxygen and monitor their progress over multiple days. This SOP can be used for o/n checks or for adaptation experiments spanning over multiple days. For the latter, a time-lapse camera setup is recommended. This SOP can also be applied to check the oxygen requirements of unknown strains.
