Munima, Christa, John
Objective: To set up chemotaxis spatial localization assay
Made and autoclaved media to make LB + amp plates to be used in the assay.
Recipe:
- Peptone 5g - Yeast Extract 2.5 g - NaCl 5 g - Agar (0.25 %) 1.25 g - dH2O 500 mL

Objective: To set up chemotaxis spatail locatization assay
Media made on October 2 looked funny.
Poured 23 plates (LB + amp 100ug/mL) anyway. Stored in iGEM 4 C fridge.

Christa, Alix
Objective: Make more solutions for future chemical competency experiments.
Made 500 mL of 100 mM CaCl2 solution and 500 mL of 80mM MgCl2-20mM CaCl2 solution. They are stored on the counter under the iGEM glass cabinet in 1 L media bottles.

Objective: Create motility media stab tubes controls for motility assay.
Inoculated two 5 mL LB media tubes, one with E. coli K12 (wild-type), the other with Staphylococcus epidermis and let incubate at 37 C for ~8 hours.
Stabbed motility media (no theophylline) with subcultures of either cell type, using inoculating loops (teeny loop part, essentially a rod).
-Positive control: E. coli K12 (wild-type) -Negative control: Staphylococcus epidermis
Incubated for 48 hours at 37 C.
