CBR was codon-optimized (CBRopt) for expression in Listeria and synthesized by GenScript (GenScript United States Inc., Piscataway, NJ, United States). The CBRopt gene (Gene Accession No. KY628997) was synthesized with an intact upstream constitutive Listerial promoter, highly expressed Listerial promoter (PHELP) (Riedel et al., 2007 (link)) and the fragment was sub-cloned into the pPL2 backbone (Lauer et al., 2002 (link)) in E. coli using Xho1 and Pst1 restriction enzymes resulting in pPL2CBRopt (see Figure 1). Plasmid DNA was isolated from E. coli using a QIAprep Spin Miniprep kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (QIAGEN, Crawley, United Kingdom). The sequences were verified by sequencing through MWG Biotech AG (Ebersberg, Germany). Transformation of L. monocytogenes was performed as described (Park and Stewart, 1990 (link)). Successful integrants were screened for site-specific integration by PCR using template DNA of L. monocytogenes as described previously (Bron et al., 2006 (link)). Restriction endonucleases (Roche Diagnostic, Mannheim, Germany), T4 DNA ligase (Roche) and 2× PCR mixture (NEB, United Kingdom) were used as advised by the manufacturer. From each successful transformant one colony carrying the anticipated genotype was chosen for further bioluminescence analysis using an IVIS Lumina II system (PerkinElmer).

DNA Extraction and Cloning in Rhodococcus aetherivorans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total DNA from Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 and the transposon mutants was extracted from cells grown in 50 mL liquid LB cultures incubated at 30°C for 48 h (up to OD600 of 1–1.2). After cell harvesting, BCP1 WT and mutant cells were lysed using the protocol reported by Cappelletti et al. (2011 (link)), while standard molecular techniques were used for DNA manipulation and cloning (Sambrook et al., 1989 ). Shortly, for molecular cloning 1.5–3 μg of DNA were digested with appropriate restriction endonucleases (1 U) (Roche) for 3–4 h at 37°C. In multi‐enzyme digestion, compatible reaction buffers were used. Ligation reactions were performed overnight in a final volume of 15 μL using the T4 ligase (Roche) based on the manufacturer instructions except for the use of a temperature gradient ranging from 37°C to 4°C. Recombinant plasmids were introduced into E. coli DH5α using chemical transformation standard protocol (Sambrook et al., 1989 ). PCR and plasmid purifications were carried out using the Plasmid Mini Kit and PCR purification kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) was used for the recovery and purification of DNA fragments excised from agarose gel.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
