Pilot Experiment
Introduction
The goal of the experiment is to find a pH level of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride buffer that upsets our yeast but does not kill them. The pH levels range from 8 to 10.5 increasing in .5 increments and then recording the effects on the growth at each level.
Materials
- Ammonium Chloride
- Ammonium Hydroxide
- Corning COSTAR 96-well clear flat-bottom assay plate
- microcentrifuge tubes
- micropipette and corresponding tips
- p20
- p100
- p1000
- pH reader
- wild-type yeast in 2x synthesis complete media at an OD600 of 0.1-0.2
- 15 mL conical tubes (x6)
- 20 mL sterile water
Procedure
Make basic buffers using the ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide
- add small increments of the ammonium hydroxide into the ammonium chloride while using the pH reader until you reach pH level of 10.5
- pour buffer into a labeled conical tube
- repeat step 1 and 2 until you have made each pH level
- 8 8.5 9 9.5 10 10.5
- once buffers are made they can be stored at room temperature
this portion of the experiment is done in a sterile environment like a biosafety cabinet
MAKE SURE TO VORTEX YEAST CELLS BEFORE ADDING TO MICROCENTRIFUGE TUBES
- in a labeled microcentrifuge tube add
- 50 ul yeast culture
- 40 ul sterile water
- 10 ul of pH level 8 buffer
- repeat step above using each pH level
- for the control in a labeled microcentrifuge tube add
- 50 ul sterile water
- 50 ul yeast culture
- vortex each tube
- pipette 100ul of each concentration into a well
- make sure to record which pH level is in each well
- set up plate reader
- temperature 30 degrees Celsius
- mode kinetic
- wavelength 600 nm
- interval 5 minutes
- total run time 24 hours
- shake before read 30 seconds
- transfer assay plate into reader and read for 24 hours
Data Recording
Graph 1
- D1 is the pH level 8
- D2 is the pH level 8.5
- D3 is the pH level 9
- D4 is the pH level 9.5
- D5 is the pH level 10
- D6 is the pH level 10.5
- D7 is the wild type control group no buffer added
