Kit to Stock
- 1-12O (e0840: rbs30-gfp-2xterm)
- 1-6G (r0011: inducible promoter)
- 3-20M (K124017: Bacteriophage Lysis Cassette S105, R, and Rz)
Plates were incubated at 37°C overnight (starting at 2:30 pm).
6/29/10
Selected single 1-12O, 1-6G, 3-20M colonies and grew them in Amp-LB broth for 18 hours (starting at 4:15 pm).
6/30/10
Poured 2 Sleeves of Kan and Amp plates respectively
Met with Dr. Russin (BIF)
Sent emails regarding biofilm and biofilm imaging: Aaron Packman, Wei Zhang, Kimberly Grey
Most likely going to use water immersion Leica (Confocal Microscope) + low MP agar (enrobing technique)
Red colonies reappeared on 1-12O plates; Fluorescent Microscopy revealed negligible activity; still unsure why colonies are red.
Miniprepped 1-12O, 3-20M, 1-6G: nanodrop -> mostly below 20ng, 1 above 100ng; stored in -20°C
Re-miniprepped after growing in liquid LB for 3 hours; nanodrop -> around 50ng/μL, 2 around 100ng/μL; stored in -20°C
Transferred overnight cultures into new 5ml LB broths. Incubated overnight in an angled shaker (starting from 4:20pm)
Plated 10μl, 25μl, 100μl, and 200μl (added LB up to 200μL) of the KR 1-12O overnight culture. Intend to measure the thickness of E.Coli lawn.
