Wetlab

 * Today a Midi prep of CAT and the B.subtilis vectors pDR110 and pDR111 were performed. Validation of the DNA was carried out by running a gel electrophoresis of the DNA.


 * Both the plasmids and the CAT insert appear to be the correct size and contamination appears to be fairly negligible

Dry Lab

 * Obtained a second better quality microscope video of B. Subtilis swimming (better contrast, better focus...)
 * Failed to track the cells using Spot Tracker plugin in ImageJ. More investigation needed.
