Plated cheZ knockout strain from glycerol on LB + amp and Plain LB to assess viability and antibiotic resistance at 37 C overnight.

cheZ knockout strain viable on LB, no growth on LB + amp - Good

Nathan Puhl, Christa, Munima

plated RP1616 and pTopp cells from glycerol stocks onto LB and LB + amp, respectively

Nathan Puhl

Subcultured RP1616 into liquid LB and pTopp cells into liquid LB + amp

Plasma mini prepped pTopp cells

Attempted to make RP1616 cells competent using the open wet ware protocol. 100 uL aliquots of cells were froxen in liquid nitrogen and stored in the -80 freezer.

Ran CheZ in pUC19 plasmid and pUC19 plasmid from last year with high range ladder. The pUC19 plasmid seems weird, I don't think it should have two bands; I will have to ask someone about that. The CheZ plasmid appears to be the right size (2600 + 620 = 3220 bp)
