  • We prepared 0.5 l of LB + Amp for liquid cultures.
  • We infected 9 ml of LB + Amp with 30 µl of Lig.30(3), Lig.31, Lig.22, Lig.13 and two falcon tubes for Lig.a.
  • We received 3OC6HSL from Sigma! we resuspended it in ddH2O, we prepared some stocks (2 mM) and stored them at -20°C.

09/9/08

  • Glycerol stocks/miniprep for Lig.30(3), Lig.31, Lig.22 and Lig.13.
  • Plasmid digestion for:
