Q1: Why are E.coli cells subjected to heat shock induction when the optical density of the bacterial
culture has reached 0.6-0.8?
Q2: Why are these wash steps critical for the preparation of protein samples used in 2D gel
electrophoresis?
Recall diffusion.
1) What is diffusion?
2) How do molecules move?

Therefore, milk sample A has less microbial contamination.

Prepare the cell suspension and determine the cell concentration.• Dilute the cell suspension in 1:1 ratio with freezing medium (final concentration approximately 1 X 106 – 1 X 107cells/ml is desired). • Dispense the cell suspension into prelabeled cryovial and place the vial in -80°C freezer overnight (temporary storage).• Transfer the cryovial into liquid nitrogen cryotank for long term storage the following day.• After day 3, determine the cell concentration in the freezing medium andcompare with that of the stock concentration. Question: Please briefly explain what is cryopreservation(1), how procedure above are useful to make this experiment successful(2)arrow_forward
