Materials

1. Yeast Tryptone Agar (YTA)

Yeast extract 2.0 g
Tryptone 10.0 g
Agar 15.0 g
Distilled water up to 1000.0 ml
pH 7.0

Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Store at 4°C.

If preparing tubes for the pour-plate procedure, allow the agar to cool to ~55°C then add 2.0 ml of 50 mg/ml cycloheximide. Aseptically dispense 18.0 ml of the melted agar per 18 mm tube then store at 4°C. The agar will solidify and will need to be melted in a steamer or microwave prior to use.

2. Minimal Salts Agar (MSA) + 0.1% (w/v) carbon source

NH4Cl 1.0 g
NH2HPO4•2H2O 2.14 g

Carbon source* 1.0 g
Trace salts solution** 10.0 ml
Agar 15.0 g
Distilled water up to 1000.0 ml
pH 7.0

Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Store at 4°C.

* Carbon sources used for experiments presented in Figure 13 include acetamide, lactose, and glycine.

** Trace salts solution is prepared in 0.1 N HCl as follows. It is added to the base before sterilization (autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes).

FeSO4•7H2O 300.0 mg
MnCl2•4H2O 180.0 mg
Co(NO3)2•6H2O 130.0 mg

4. EHA hard agar (1.2% w/v)

Agar 12.0 g
Tryptone 13.0 g
NaCl 8.0 g
Na Citrate•2H2O 2.0 g

5. 1X Middlebrook Top Agar (MBTA soft agar, 0.5% w/v)

100 mM CaCl2 stock* 1 ml
7H9 liquid medium: Neat ** 50 ml
2XTA *** 50 ml

Melt 50 ml of 2XTA and allow it to cool to ~55°C. Using aseptic technique, add the CaCl2 and 7H9 broth to the melted agar. Aseptically dispense 4.5 ml of the mixture per 13 mm tube and store in a 55°C incubator ≤7 days. Cooling MBTA to room temperature or 4°C will cause the CaCl2 to precipitate out of solution.

* 100 mM CaCl2. stock must be stored at room temperature to prevent CaCl2 from precipitating out of solution.

** 7H9 liquid medium: Neat

7H9 broth base 4.7 g
40% glycerol stock 5 ml
Distilled water up to 900.0 ml

Mix the base with water then add the glycerol while stirring. Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Store at 4°C.

*** 2X Middlebrook Top Agar (2XTA, 1.0% w/v)

7H9 broth base 4.7 g
Agar 1.0 g
Distilled water up to 1000.0 ml

Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Dispense 50 ml aliquots into 100 ml bottles and store at 4°C.

6. Middlebrook 7H10 Agar Plates (MHA hard agar, 1.9% w/v)

7H10 agar base 19.0 g
40% glycerol stock 12.5 ml
Distilled water 887.5 ml

Mix the agar base with water then add the glycerol while stirring. Heat the solution to boiling then stir for one minute to completely dissolve the base powder. Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Allow the agar to cool to ~55°C then aseptically add the following reagents:

AD supplement (pre-warmed to 37°C)* 100 ml
50 mg/ml Carbenicillin ** 1.0 ml
10 mg/ml Cycloheximide ** 1.0 ml

* AD supplement

NaCl > 17 g >
Albumin (Fraction V)> 100 g>
Dextrose (D-Glucose)> 40 g>
Distilled water> up to 2000.0 ml>

Filter-sterilize this solution; do not autoclave. Store at 4°C.

** Filter-sterilize and store these solutions at 4°C for ≤60 days.

7. LB agar (1.5% w/v) + X-Gal (60 μg/ml)

Tryptone 10.0 g
Yeast extract 5.0 g
NaCl 10.0 g
Agar 15.0 g
Distilled water up to 1000.0 ml
pH 7.5 at 25°C

Autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes to sterilize. Allow the agar to cool to ~55°C then aseptically add 3.0 ml of 20 mg/ml X-Gal solution. Freshly prepare X-gal stock by dissolving 400 mg X-Gal in 20 ml dimethylformamide (DMF).
