+ | =====Monday===== | ||
+ | *Track 20 cells | ||
+ | *Determine the segmentation of the data: | ||
+ | **plotting velocity to exp(i*theta) | ||
+ | **where theta is the difference between the angle of rotation of the cell's tip to its centroid and the angle of the centroid displacement | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Tuesday===== | ||
+ | *Track 20 cells | ||
+ | *Prepare for meeting with supervisors | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Wednesday===== | ||
+ | *Acquire longer microscope videos of swimming B. Subtilis | ||
+ | *Track at least 20 cells manually | ||
+ | *Adjust matlab code according to the segmentation of the data | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Thursday===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Hopefully extract run_time, tumble_time,run velocity and tumble angle using our matlab code | ||
+ | *Plot their distributions and compare to model | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Friday===== | ||
+ | *Acquire more data by tracking cells manually | ||
+ | *In theory we would need to track about 100 cells to 150 cells | ||

+ | *Prepare Lb agar plates and LB media for the week ahead. | ||
+ | *Check PCR from friday on a 1% agarose gel. | ||
+ | *Innoculate 20ml of LB agar for overnight culture | ||
+ | =====Tuesday===== | ||
+ | *Carry out the final protocol for the O.D.<sub>600</sub> vs cell number. From previous trials it is clear that it is better to base the data collection on the O.D.<sub>600</sub> as oppose to regular time intervals. In addition it is clear a greater spread of dilutions are required for an increased data collection. | ||

+ | =====Wednesday===== | ||
+ | *Microscope from 11-2 to collect wild-type movement of ''B.subtilis'' | ||
+ | *Count the cells from the O.D.<sub>600</sub> vs cell number experiment. | ||
