16th July - 5X M9 salts [link to protocol], minimal agar [link to protocol], 1.4% molten agar solution [link to protocol] and 0.1M CaCl2/15% glycerol [link to protocol] were prepared for the generation of competent cells. Minimal agar plates were poured and streaked [link to streaking protocol] with W3110 Escherichia coli cells and left overnight to incubate at 37C.

17th July - Very little colony growth was observed from W3110 E.coli streaked plates. Plates were therefore left to incubate for a further 17 hours.

18th July - Sufficient colony growth allowed for the selection of a single colony from each plate. This was then inoculated in 5ul LB media [link to LB recipe] + 100ul 1M MgSO4 and left to incu-shake overnight at 37C.

This indicated that the pSecTag2A cells are acceptable to use for glycerol stock [protocol for generating glycerol stocks] generation and also for plasmid purification. Miniprep was performed on the two incubated Falcon tubes from yesterday.

The results concerning pSB1C3 indicated that the chloramphenicol did not work, and the glycerol stock is dead. Therefore a new glycerol stock was sought after and chloramphenicol was remade.
+
-
Amp & Cmp were remade and pSB1C3 was located in the 2012 distribution kit. Amp & Cmp were both tested by producing 1x positive and 1x negative plate for each antibiotic streaked with W3110 cells ->left to incubate o/n at 37C.

Glycerol stock of pSecTag2A was grown, and a miniprep was carried out. PCR could not be carried out as the primers for pSecTag2A had not arrived.
