Tuesday, August 9th

Tasks:

Paul

  • Plate with Patrick’s Cam cells grew ~50 colonies, only in the first couple streaks
  • Ran Gel salt test: Added X uL of 50 mM NaCl
    • Lane 1-4: Ladder: 4 uL, 2 uL, 1 uL, 4 uL diH2O; our blue dye
    • Lanes 5-7: Ladder: 4 uL, 2 uL, 1 uL; Jewett’s “blue” dye
    • Lanes 8-10: GFP 4: 4 uL, 2 uL, 1 uL,
  • Plated Patrick’s cells on different antibiotic plates
    • Prepared 30 ug/mL, 25 ug/mL, 20 ug/mL, and 12.5 ug/mL concentrations of Cam

Sara
