ASKA Collection Evolution Experiment
Starting Lines
- Revive each strain by inoculating a scrape of frozen culture from a well of a microplate into 3 ml of 0.1x LB + 30 μg/ml chloramphenicol. Grow overnight.
- Precondition to the growth medium by transferring 11.7 μl of each culture into 3 ml of fresh 0.1x LB + 30 μg/ml chloramphenicol. Grow overnight.
- Found evolutionary independent replicates of each strain by initiating one culture for each experimental replicate from a small number (100-1000) of cells. If you are founding three strain mixtures, you need three copies of each strain that will be present in each mixture at this step. Grow for 2 days to ensure that each strain reaches a similar saturating density from the small inoculum.
- Now begin the evolution experiment. Mix together equal volumes of each culture. Transfer from this mixture the daily dilution into fresh media and grow that culture overnight.
