5/15/13

- Completed 5.9 T7+ Liquid Culture Phage Concentration Test #2 by doing the spot test

- Performed 5.15 Titer Test on 5.3 T7 new Phage Stock to determine phage concentration and estimate dilution for applying mutagen

- Sorted LB plates made on May 8 and threw away the ones with obvious contamination


5/16/13

- Took plates from 5.15 out of incubation at around 4:00pm
