G418 Kill curve protocol Resource Report Resource Website |
Fatma Gomaa, Zhuhong Li, Roberto Docampo, Peter Girguis, Virginia Edgcomb | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.sh4eb8w | Protist Research to Optimize Tools in Genetics (PROT-G) | Bodo saltans kill curve protocol using G418 (Gentamicin)Gentamycin exhibits toxicity toward both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells by disrupting ribosome function, thereby blocking the elongation step in protein synthesis.G418 is most commonly used as a selection agent for eukaryotic cells genetically engineered to express a neomycin resistance gene (NeoR), which is encoded by either transposon Tn601 (903) or Tn5.The resistant cells grow in medium containing G418, and may be used to establish stably transfected cell lines as all the non-resistant cells die due to G418 toxicity, typically within 6 – 14 days.To establish kill curve assay for saltans various concentrations of G418 were tested. The concentration range from 1 to 50 μg/mL for selection of eukaryotic, and then higher concentrations can be used for maintaining stable transfected cell line.Kill Curve Assay Harvest the B. saltans cells from a culture that is at peak density (1 – 3.0 x 105) by centrifugation at 800 x g for 5 min., discard the supernatant (medium). Replace the growth medium with fresh medium containing 0 – 50 μg/mL. For each concentration, test in triplicate. Using 6 wells plates, replace the medium in the wells every 3 – 4 days using fresh medium with the appropriate G418 concentration. Perform a daily visual inspection for evidence of toxicity, also cell count using hemocytometer. Note that the optimal dose of G418 for selection is the lowest one for which all cells have died after one week. A low dose is the concentration which has minimal effects on cells after 2 weeks of antibiotic selection. Conversely, a high dose is a concentration which is highly toxic to cells within 2-3 days of starting antibiotic selection. 5- The results indicate that a G418 concentration of 2 μg/mL kill the entire B. saltans population in 12 days which is considered enough time for selecting the resistant cells after transfection. G418 Sensitivity for B. saltans Cell Selection In all of our plasmids constructs we included the NeoR gene (Neomycine resistant gene) to select our transfected cells.Twenty-four hours after electroporation, the growth medium of transfected cells were supplemented with G418 antibiotic Solution (2 μg/mL) based on the kill curve results (above). 3. Replace the G418-containing medium every 3 – 5 days and examine cells for visual toxicity. Most non-transfected (non-resistant) cells will die within 10- 12 days, leaving the transfected cells to expand.Once cells grow to high confluence, they may be maintained, or frozen as a polyclonal line or plated by limited dilution to select for single clones.Replace the growth medium with fresh medium containing 0 – 50 μg/mL. For each concentration, test in triplicate. Using 6 wells plates, replace the medium in the wells every 3 – 4 days using fresh medium with the appropriate G418 concentration.

Plasmid DNAs designed for expression in Micromonas CCMP1545 Resource Report Resource Website |
Jian Guo, Alexandra Worden, Grant Hartzog, and Manuel Ares | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.i9wch7e | Protist Research to Optimize Tools in Genetics (PROT-G) | We have available several plasmids designed for expression of Cas9, guide RNA, chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase, GFP, and beta-lactamase in Micromonas CCMP1545. For protein expression we used the promotor and 3' end elements from the endogenous RPS9 gene, and codon optimized the coding region. For expression of guide RNAs we used the Micromonas U6 snRNA promoter. DNA is available by contacting M. Ares .We have constructed and sequence verified 9 plasmids which we would like to make available to others attempting to detect transformation of DNA into Micromonas. Using the CCMP1545 genome as a source for the U6 promoter sequence, and for the promoter and 3' UTR sequences of ribosomal protein RPS9, we built the following plasmids:CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids for Micromonas1. Mp U6 promoter driving Bae cassette for guide RNA expression in pUC132. Mp RPS9-Cas9SV40-RPS9 in pUC133. Both Mp U6 promoter driving Bae cassette for guide RNA expression and Mp RPS9-Cas9SV40-RPS9 in pUC13These first three plasmids were anticipated to enable stable incorporation of transgenes at specific genomic locations. BaeI is a type IIS restriction enzyme that leaves noncompatible sticky ends. In the context of the gRNA cassette, a pair of 24 nt oligos designed to have the sticky ends compatible with BaeI cleaved plasmid are annealed and cloned into the plasmid, replacing the BaeI cassette while adding the 20 nt target complementary sequence of the desired guide RNA.Selectable/Detectable Marker genes4. Mp RPS9-codon optimized GFPsv40-RPS9 in pUC135. Mp RPS9-codon optimized chloramphenicol acetyltransferase-RPS9 in pUC13 6. Mp RPS9-codon optimized beta-lactamase-RPS9 in pUC13 These three plasmids have the indicated coding regions codon optimized for Micromonas flanked by RPS9 promoter and 3' end sequences. In the case of GFP, a nuclear localization signal from SV40 has been added to the C-terminus. Plasmids for Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer 7. Mp RPS9-codon optimized GFPsv40-RPS9 in pOSCAR 8.

Sample collection from the field for downstream molecular analysis - microbial eukaryote-focused Resource Report Resource Website |
Sarah Hu | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.hisb4ee | Protist Research to Optimize Tools in Genetics (PROT-G), Caron Lab - Protistan Ecology, SCOPE | This protocol describes steps and considerations for working in the field to collect samples to be used for molecular work targetting marine (or freshwater) microbial eukaryotes. See downstream protocols for DNA/RNA extraction and library prep (pending) for 18S rRNA gene tag sequencing.Many steps in this protocol can be modified to fit a users' specific needs or environment type. Here, we strive to make recommendations that consider the delicate nature of single-celled eukaryotes and collect samples in the field as cleanly as possible. We use this approach for RNA and DNA-based sequencing - both for tag sequencing and metatranscriptomics.This protocol is based off of the field work we conduct at the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT) station. We go out to the SPOT station once a month. Once we arrive at the SPOT station, we try to sample at the same time of day each month. Timelapse video for sampling SPOT: https://youtu.be/1US3h_qD00wMaterials required:(1) 20 L carboys (volume amount flexible)(2) Covers for carboys (we use pizza bags, black trash bags, or coolers)(3) Ice packs(4) Tubing for Niskin (5) Vacuum pump filtration system (see time-lapse video) - trap flask - pump - extra tubing & rubber/silicon stopper (to fit filter towers)(6) Filter towers that fit in vacuum pump filtration system(7) In-line filters, 47 mm(8) Nitex mesh, cut for 47 mm - 200 um & 80 um(9) RNase-spray(10) Absorbent pads (for reducing water spillage & covering countertops)(11) Liquid nitrogen - make sure to check regulations on transporting liquid nitrogen and storing it on-site/shipboard(12) 15 mL falcon tubes - RNase/DNase-free(13) RNA later or Lysis buffer (e.g. RLT buffer from this protocol)(14) Filters for collecting material, we use 0.7um GF/F filters**Our reasoning to use this filter size is that the 0.7um nominal pore size will collect the protistan fraction of the community, but it is a woven filter style, so more water can be filtered through without clogging. | University of Southern California | 1 | 2017 | Sarah Hu 2017.

Culturing Euplotes crassus to high densities using a combination of algae and bacteria as the food source. Resource Report Resource Website |
Lawrence A. Klobutcher, Larry Klobutcher | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.2amgac6 | Protist Research to Optimize Tools in Genetics (PROT-G) | This procedure was developed to investigate the possible use of RNAi through bacterial feeding as a means of knocking down expression of particular genes.While the utility of RNAi is still being investigated, the method is effective in growing Euplotes crassus to higher densities than is possible using algae alone. Using moderately dense cultures of algae, we typically achieve cell densities of 500-1,000 cells/ml, while with the E. coli supplemented cultures we describe here, Euplotes cell densities exceed 3,000 cells/ml. In fact, preliminary studies mixing a volume of a Euplotes culture with an equal volume of resuspended E. coli have produced a density of ~8,000 cells/ml.While the described procedure involves small cultures, it can likely be scaled up as required.For some species of Euplotes, long-term culture using bacteria as a food source has not been successful (C. Miceli, personal communication), suggesting that some essential nutrient is not being provided in sufficient quantitities | University of Connecticut Health Center, University of Connecticut, School of medicine | 1 | 2019 | Lawrence A.
