Formal Meeting - 21st October

• Apologies - Phil, Younus, Deena (late)
• Action point: Phil and Rachel add characteristation data to the wiki

yneA Characteristaion:

• ΔamyE:Pspac(hy)::yneA

• B. subtilis spread of IPTG may not be homogenous through the population.
• E. coli has transporter deltions: check E. coli wiki

• take out pMap65 results

• Median, Mode add to graph

• pMutin4 proportion of cells

• 20% responding- looks like

• Biomass of cells - length * amount (counts)) against IPTG

• Lysis acts to counter the overexpression of yneA ... so we have fewer cells

• Younus AP: send script for yneA to Jen, Matt, Neil

• Plot: Max cell length against ITPG + Error bars

Arabinose

• We think we have it cloned infront of GFP
• B. subtilis transformation tommorrow
• Fluorescence
• Characterisation of previous part!!!

Concrete

• Damaged building - earthquake

Flux balance

• difference between optimal and normal

Lab work

• DNA submitted - tracking number sent
• 1C3 SR1 has not arrived, we would have had 2 bricks submitted!
