Team Sorbitol:

Purified the PCR product from yesterday - not enough DNA for a digestion
Re-ran the PCR reaction from yesterday to get more product - however the reaction failed (no bands)
In the meantime designed a digestion reaction to use once we get enough product.
Ran model simulations of knockouts in program. Interesting knockout: TpiA~Triosephosphate isomerase E.coli K12 MG1655, locus tag b3919, GeneID 948409, EC 5.3.1.1 Obtained TpiA knockout from Keio Collection plated on LB+Kan Determined best media formulation C Media supplemented with glycerol

Worked on Wiki site
Worked on sponsorship
Made overnight cultures of: BL21 (x2), pBad33, pMcSG7, pet28a, pet28b, DH1 (x2), pBad21
Made and autoclaved more LB solution for future use
