The Barrick Lab typically incubates ADP1 cultures at 30°C with shaking at 200 rpm. * Storage</br> * Cultures of ADP1 can be stored for a few days at 4°C.</br> * Glycerol or DMSO can be used as cryoprotectants when freezing cultures stocks (using the protocol [[https://barricklab.org/twiki/bin/view/Lab/ProtocolsFreezingStrains][here]]) * Genomic DNA extraction: The Barrick Lab uses a PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit for genomic DNA extractions. 30 minutes is sufficient incubation time at 55°C for lysing cultures of ADP1. * Protocols: the following protocols are commonly used when working with ADP1 * [[https://barricklab.org/twiki/bin/view/Lab/ProtocolsStandardPCR][PCR]] Amplifying DNA.</br> * [[https://barricklab.org/twiki/bin/view/Lab/ProtocolsAcinetobacterGoldenTransformation][Golden Transformation]] Creating a construct for integration into the ADP1 genome with Golden Gate ligation and transforming it into ADP1.

Most other common antibiotic selection markers can be used. We most commonly use kanamycin and spectinomycin resistance markers. The rate of spontaneous mutations to KanR is undetectable. SpecR mutants can arise at a low frequency (~10<sup>−8</sup> to 10<sup>−9</sup>) due to chromosomal mutations, so only use this marker for transformations that have a significantly higher frequency than this. | *Antibiotic* | *MIC* | *Standard Conc.* | *Status* | *Notes* | | Ampicillin (or carbenicillin) | 128 µg/ml | 100 µg/ml | %RED%Resistant%ENDCOLOR% | | | Kanamycin | 12.5-6.25 µg/ml (3.125µg/mL doesn't inhibit) | 50 µg/ml | Sensitive | MIC info from Barrick Lab results (G.S.) | | Spectinomycin | ? | 60 µg/ml | Sensitive | Spontaneous resistance | | Streptomycin | 6.25-12.5 µg/ml (escapes observed at 6.25µg/mL) | 25 µg/ml | Sensitive | Barrick Lab results (G.S.) | | Chloramphenicol | 4.0 µg/ml | 20 µg/ml | Sensitive | Spontaneous resistance | | Gentamycin | 1.3 µg/ml | 5 µg/ml | Sensitive | | | Tetracycline | 1.0 µg/ml | 10 µg/ml | Sensitive | | | Rifampicin | 0.6 µg/ml | 100 µg/ml | Sensitive | Spontaneous resistance | | Nalidixic acid (mutagen/causes DNA double strand breaks) | 1.9 µg/ml (no growth at 24 hr, but growth at 48 hr) (1 µg/ml doesn't inhibit) | 3.75 µg/ml | Sensitive | Barrick Lab results (G.S.) | *Source:* Gomez MJ, Neyfakh AA.

In our hands, pBAV1K is less reliable. It is also important to note that because plasmid DNA is linearizes when taken up through the competence apparatus, that transformation of plasmids can be significantly less efficient than transformations used to incorporate DNA directly in the chromosome. | *Origin* | *Copy Number* | *Example* | | ColE1 (pUC, pBR322, etc.) type plasmids | %RED% Do not replicate %ENDCOLOR% | NA | | pBAV1K | Low-medium copy number | [[https://www.addgene.org/26702/][pBAV1K-T5-gfp]] | | RSF1010 | Low-medium copy number | [[https://www.addgene.org/110599/][pBTK403]] |
