Overview
March-April
May-June
July-August
September-October

8/17/13

- Started characterizing post-CsCl phage in 8.14 Mutagen Concentration Test - Seventh Protocol.

- Started approximately 10mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.

- Streaked out E coli B.


8/18/13

- Continued characterization of post-CsCl phage in 8.14 Mutagen Concentration Test - Seventh Protocol.

- Started approximately 20mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/19/13

- Plaque test of post-CsCl phage in 8.14 Mutagen Concentration Test - Seventh Protocol.

- Discussed modeling result of 8.16 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Experiment One with Dr. Grose -> need to repeat for T1 and T2 starting from dilution series and spot test.

- Started approximately 30 mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.



8/4/13

- Started E coli liquid culture over night


8/5/13

- Performed Phage viability/infection test for 8.2 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Preliminary Experiments.

- Discussed ideas for modeling phage plaque sizes


8/6/13

- Check up on the phage viability/infection test for 8.2 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Preliminary Experiments.

- Started 5mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/7/13

- Performed spot test to estimate phage titerfor 8.2 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Preliminary Experiments.

- Phage Purification Group started the purification process with CsCl gradient.


8/8/13

- Started approximately 15mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/9/13

- Performed Preliminary Titer for 8.2 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Preliminary Experiments.


8/11/13

- Started approximately 20mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/12/13

- Performed titer - repeat for 8.2 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Preliminary Experiments based on the results from 8.10 preliminary titer test.

- Started T1 propagation.

- Made accurate x2 top agar as preparation for 8.16 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Experiment One.


8/13/13

- Started approximately 20mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/14/13

- Performed mutagenesis and spot test for 8.14 Mutagen Concentration Test - Seventh Protocol.

- Performed spot test for T1 propagation. Spotted 5uL of -2 through -7 dilutions.


8/15/13

- T1 propagation revealed plaques on each of the tested dilutions, suggesting that this propagated T1 phage stock has a titer of at least 109 pfu/mL -> more accurate spot test / titer needed to determine the exact phage concentration.

- Started approximately 30mL of E coli B liquid culture overnight.


8/16/13

- Started 8.16 Modeling Phage Plaque Sizes - Experiment One.

- Phage Purification team performed the CsCl gradient for 8.14 Mutagen Concentration Test - Seventh Protocol.
