had a go at making wells as in the diagram (UPLOAD DIAGRAM), needs diff glue. then put a blue dye in 0.3% agar (to represent aspartate) and an orange dye in 0.1% agar to represent the bacteria. took pictures at 30minute intervals. this was to see how long a chemotatic gradient would take to set up, however after 3 hours no gradient was obious so left iovernight.

Made SOC medium in preparation for Biobrick transformation this consisted of

Trypton 2g
Yeast Extract0.5g
NaCl0.05g

in 95ml of water, then autoclaved. after this add this:

MgCl2 0.5ml 2M solution
Glucose2ml 1M

then freeze at -20oC. this solution is from Molecular Cloning 3 A.2 SOB/SOC Medium.
