-
            <li>DH5a auto-fluorescence vs. [Arabinose]

October 14, 2006

Charles, Jovan:

  • Mini-prepped UT2 2/4 and UT3 7
  • Transform UT2 2/4 and UT3 7 into DH5a-z1 and DH5a cells
  • Continue with the IPTG test for the rest of the colonies that we weren’t able to test yesterday

To-Do List:

  • Measure absorbance spectrum of Arabinose
  • Make o/n of working UT2/UT3 for repeat of IPTG test.
  • Look into using tetR and tet pL instead of cI and Prm+
