Plated E. coli strain DH5-alpha on LB plates made yesterday

  • one plate was plated using the hockey puck method for maximum growth
  • one plate was plated using the 4-way streak method to isolate colonies

Plates were placed in a 37C incubator for 5 hours then transfered to a 4C incubator for storage.

Preparation for making competant cells

Grace, Margaret, & Norman

Made SOB media for growing E. coli DH5-alpha

Made 20mM glucose solution


Discussion

Grace, Margaret, and Norman will come in on Sunday at 3pm to grow up E. coli into exponential phase in preparation for inducing chemical competency.
