Chris and James grew up competent E. coli XL1-Blue cells for use in cloning Biobricks and assembling constructs.
B.subtilis strain 168 and E.coil DH5α containing plasmids pDR110 and pDR111 picked up from Dr. Gründling
Debrief
Laboratory induction tomorrow at 11am.
Wiki coming along but needs to be cut down in size. Tom will do this tomorrow and on the weekend.
Parts were all sent off; now that constructs ordered are finalised, we can use these and the test constructs to work out our critical pathway for cloning. Tom and Chris will make a cloning strategy tomorrow after the lab induction.
Dry lab team continues through tutorials...
Microscope training organised. Associated parties will need to fill out forms and training should take about an hour (2 on 1).
