- First trial of nebulized Sol-Gel
- Coated bottom of petri dish w/ media (alpha-MEM)
- Sprayed for 45s
- Added 4 mL media and 1 mL LB afterwards
- Wait to see if the cells grow
- Got visual confirmation via microscope
- GFP E. coli are alive
- Sol-Gel is flaking off
- Next time attempt with bottom layer of gelatin so Sol-Gel doesn't flake/leak/etc.
Side note: We were mistaken about the sam8 gene--it is the LacZ gene that encodes Beta-gal which cleaves X-gal to make a blue color. The sam8 is irrelevant. LacZ can be found as part I732005, and is available in the 2008 shipment of DNA.
