Results
- Overnight cultures were successful
- Vials had noticeable amounts of white E. coli at the bottom of the tube.
- Flow Cytometer was repaired
- Samples cannot be tested until protocols for using and maintaining the machine are figured out
- Plated bacteria are still not expressing GFP and RFP
Tasks
- Dilute E. coli into fresh LB + Cm in preparation for testing with the flow cytometer
- nothing was tested today with the cytometer
- Grow all BioBrick parts in 5 mL of LB + Cm overnight
- 100 microliters was added to broth
- plastic tubes had tops, so tops were loosened during the incubation period
- cells were out of the -80 degree Celsius freezer for a prolonged amount of time, so viability is lower than usual.
- If nothing grows, BioBrick DNA will be reinserted into fresh NEB 10 beta through electrotransformation.
- Retransform J23100 w/ J06702
- Transform NEB 10 beta and DB 3.1 to check for electrocompetency
- Organize notebook and running draft
