Procedure
This detailed protocol is divided into four sections:
Part I. Generation of mutant library
We provide a detailed protocol for the generation of a mutant library in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, but this can be used for all bacteria that are naturally competent.
Part II. Mutant library screen
As example, we provide a detailed protocol for the identification of non-typeable Haemophilus genes essential for survival in environmental air, as published before (Langereis et al., 2013).
Part III. Mutant library readout
Part IV. Data analysis
For data analysis, the web-based analysis software ESSENTIALS was used (Zomer et al., 2012). A detailed manual can be found on the website (http://bamics2.cmbi.ru.nl/websoftware/essentials/essentials_start.php).

(Optional: Centrifuge in a microcentrifuge for a few seconds to collect the remainder of the supernatant at the bottom of the tube and carefully remove all supernatant with a 200 μl pipet.) - Dry the pellet on air (pellets turns from opaque to white in ~30 min).
(Optional: Place the tubes in a heating block at 30 °C to speed up evaporation of liquid.) - Dissolve pellet in 15.8 μl sterile dH2O.

1 μl 2.5 U/μl T4 DNA polymerase
Incubate for 30 min at 16 °C. - Inactivate polymerase for 10 min at 75 °C in a heating block.

- Add to the dissolved pellet
2 μl 10x E.coli DNA ligase Reaction Buffer
0.2 μl E.coli DNA ligase (5 U/µl)
Incubate overnight at 16 °C. - Store mutagenized DNA at -20 °C.
- Transformation
- Grow 10 ml non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in BHI medium containing 10 μg/ml hemin and 2 μg/ml NAD shaking with 225 rpm at 37 °C to an OD620 of 0.3.
- Centrifuge the bacteria 10 min with 3,000 x g and resuspend in 10 ml PBS.
- Centrifuge the bacteria 10 min with 3,000 x g and resuspend in 10 ml M-IV medium and incubate 100 min shaking with 100 rpm at 37 °C.
- Centrifuge the bacteria 10 min with 3,000 x g and resuspend in 1 ml M-IV medium and transfer to a 1.5 ml tube.
- Add 1-5 μg mutagenized DNA and incubate 60 min with 100 rpm at 37 °C.
- Plate 1 to 100 μl per sBHI plate for over night growth at 37 °C + 5% CO2.
- Collect the colonies by adding 5 ml PBS + 15% glycerol on the plates and store 1 ml aliquots at -80 °C.
Note: The number of colonies (transposon mutants) is dependent on the transformation efficiency of the NTHi strain used in this experiment. It is recommended to use a highly competent NTHi strain in order to obtain large mutant libraries. Alternatively, multiple transformations can be pooled to obtain sufficient transposon mutants, typically 10-20-fold the number of genes in the genome.
Part II. Mutant library screen
The mutant library can be used in any control and stress condition. As proof of principle, we have used growth in air enriched with 5% CO2 (control condition) or ambient air with 0.04% CO2 (stress condition). To do so, the mutant library was constructed with 5% CO2 enriched M-IV medium (M-IV medium incubated at least 2 h at 5% CO2 in an open 50 ml tube) without shaking to prevent loss of mutants while making the mutant library (generation mutant library steps 27-28).
- Thaw 1 ml aliquot of the NTHi mutant library at RT.
- Centrifuge 2 min at 10,000 x g in microcentrifuge.
- Remove the medium containing glycerol and resuspend the bacteria in 1 ml sBHI medium.
- Grow the mutant library in 5 ml sBHI medium enriched with 5% CO2 (incubate BHI medium overnight in the incubator + 5% CO2 and add hemin and NAD fresh before use) without shaking to OD620 = 0.5 and store three 1 ml aliquots with 15% glycerol at -80 °C. (Start culture)
- Dilute the start culture 1:100 in 5 ml 5% enriched sBHI medium (control) or sBHI medium (stress) and grow to OD620 = 0.5 with 5% CO2 (control) or ambient air (stress) at 37 °C and store three 1 ml aliquots with 15% glycerol at -80 °C for storage and start culture for next round. (Round 1)
- Dilute the first round culture 1:100 in 5 ml 5% enriched sBHI medium (control) or sBHI medium (stress) and grow to OD620 = 0.5 with 5% CO2 (control) or ambient air (stress) at 37 °C and store three 1 ml aliquots with 15% glycerol at -80 °C for storage and start culture for next round. (Round 2)
- Dilute the second round culture 1:100 in 5 ml 5% enriched sBHI medium (control) or sBHI medium (stress) and grow to OD620 = 0.5 with 5% CO2 (control) or ambient air (stress) at 37 °C and store three 1 ml aliquots with 15% glycerol at -80 °C for storage. (Round 3)

- Transfer 3x 650 μl buffer to a 1.5 ml tube, add 455 μl RT isopropanol and centrifuge immediately 15 min. with max. speed at 4 °C.
- Remove the isopropanol and wash with 1 ml cold 70% ethanol. Vortex briefly and centrifuge 10 min. with max. speed at 4 °C.
- Remove the ethanol and wash a second time with 1 ml cold 70% ethanol. Vortex briefly and centrifuge 10 min. with max. speed at 4 °C.
