Abstract
This protocol is for the preparation of 10% glycerol stocks of bacterial strains.
Steps
1.
From a streaked plate of the bacteria, pick one colony and inoculate into a test tube containing 10mL
1X LB
2.
Grow the culture till it reaches an OD ~ 0.6
3. This is for preparation of 10% glycerol stock. This can be changed according to the requirement.
Into cryo-vials add 1.6mL
culture and 0.4mL
50% autoclaved glycerol.
Note
4.
Flash freeze the tubes in liquid Nitrogen and store it at -80°C
