='''Single E.coli cell isolation using micromanipulation'''


==Background==
*Collabrate with Andy Chen
*Adapt the successful experience of micromanipulation on single human lymphocyte
==Fresh E.coli cells recovery==
*Recovery fresh E.coli K-12 cell from glycerol stock (-80C)
**Prepare 10mL pre-warmed LB in 10mL culture tube (x4)
**Innoculate E.coli K-12 into the LB mediua(using 10p tips)
**Cap the tube. Vortexing briefly. Incubate at 37C over night (3:00PM~9:00AM next day)
**(The medium look cloudy in all of four tubes)
*Washing cells
**Pellet the cell by centrifuging.
**Centrifuge the 10mL culture tubes at 3000rpm, 4C, 10min. Discard supernatant.
**Resuspend the pellet in 1.5mL 1X PBS. Transfer into a 1.7mL tube.
**Centrifuge the tube at 8000g, RT, 3min. Discard supernatant.
**Resuspend the pellet in 1.0mL 1X PBS.
**Repeat the last washing step again (Two times PBS washing in total).
**Based on the culture cloudy extent, I estimate it's about 10^9 CFU/mL
==E.coli stain (SYBR-green / DAPI)==
*Prepare dilued staining dye
**Dilute SYBR(200X) into 10X by 1/20 dilution in a 1.7mL tube wrapped in foil
**Thaw DAPI(10,000X)stock solution. Dilute DAPI into 10X by 1/1000 dilution in a 1.7mL  tube wrapped in foil.
*Cell staining
**Add 2uL E.colu culture(10^9 CFU/mL) with 200uL 10X dye (SYBR / DAPI). Incubate at 37C on the shaker for >30min.
**Dilute the stained cell from 10^7 CFU/mL to 10^5 CFU/mL with 1X PBS.
