July 1st
- We prepared some glycerol stock from the four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains we received from Eduardo Rial.
- We calibrated our calorimeters with hot water.
July 2nd
- We prepared our first SD medium.
- We calibrated our calorimeters with hot water.
July 4th
- We prepared some plates for inoculum.
July 7th
- We prepared some inoculum.
July 8th
- We carried out the pilot experiment.
July 9th
- We characterized culture growth in our calorimeters.
july 10th
- Trying to see if there is basal rate of UCP1...
july 11th
- It looks like our Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains have a basal rate of UCP1... We'll have to repeat the experiment to be sure.
july 12th
- We obtained the same results.
july 14th
- The plate is completely dry,the water evaporeted...WHY???? the first unsolved mystery of valencia iGEM 2008.
july 15th
- We prepared inoculum.
july 16th
- Trying to find out which is the best moment for activating UCP1...
july 17th
- Our lab electricity went of during the night. How many experiments will have ruined?
july 18th
- we carried out the pilot experiment. We see weird oscillations.
july 20th
- we stopped the shaking and carried out the experiment again to see whether the oscillations were related to the shaking.
july 21st
- We carried out the pilot experiment again. Weird results, we need to repeat it.
july 22nd
- We repaired our calorimeters. They were the reason for yesterday weird results.
july 23rd
- We repeated the pilot experiment.
july 24th
- Our male group members decided to carried out their own particular experiment involving parafilm, plasticine and teeth filling paste...
july 25th
- Another curious experiment was carried out: one thermocouple was covered with plasticine while the others weren't.
july 26th
- We obtain good results.
july 28th
microcalorimeter isn't OK, we try to repair and now.....calibrate once again!!!!
