Lab Session 13/08/09

Sporulation Tuning/Chassis Team

Summary

Yesterday's germination attempt seems to have worked, but results are not yet clear. This may have been due to a calculation error for the lysozyme, where instead of adding 40ul of stock lysozyme per ml of buffer solution, 4ul of stock lysozyme was added instead.

Therefore, on Monday, we intend to redo the experiment. See Monday, 17th August for more details.

Today we are trying to transform Bacillus subtilis with gfp-rrnb integration vector using the Transformation Protocol as well as following changes which the Metal Sensor Team implemented. Metal sensor team kindly inoculated B. subtilis cells into flask tubes and placed them into the shaking incubator. The overnight cultures were labelled 1, 2 and 3, while the control was labelled as 4. Our team used overnight culture tube 3 and control tube 4.
