Genome Deletion

• Restriction Enzyme testing in Dam+ve and Dam-ve Strains
  • An experiment investigating the effects of methylation on the amount of cleavage by varying concentrations of restriction enzymes.

Diauxic Growth

Growth in the presence of Glucose only

Testing the effects of glucose concentration on cell growth: This experiment will be linked to diauxic growth.
Rationale: A cell culture in the presence of glucose grows exponentially. Once it uses up its resource, it stops growing and the population density saturates.
