**'''Methods:''' Added the 15 Bacto agar to 1000 mL of LB media and autoclave [121°C, 15 min, standard liquid cycle]. Add 1000µl of Chloroamphenicol (25 mg/mL), Ampicillin (50 mg/mL) or Kanamycin (30 mg/mL) and mixed well before plating out and setting agar. After cooling and antibiotic addition, the LB agar was plated out using aseptic technique. In total, 31 Ampicillin LB agar plates, 33 Chloramphenicol LB agar plates & 32 Kanamycin LB Agar plates resulted. All plates were aseptically sealed using parafilm and stored in a refrigerator. Ultimately, this procedure resulted in three 1L LB agar solutions with an different antibiotic in each.

Then, MnCl2-4H2O, was dissolved in 300 mL of water, mixed and solution adjusted to 1 L. Sterilisation via filtration followed through a pre-rinsed 0.45 µm filter unit and stored at 4°C.


EDTA Buffer:
Ingredients: 37.22 g EDTA solid, 180 mL of water and pH adjusted to 8.0 using 10M NaOH.
Methods: Components were combined then pH adjusted.


TAE Buffer:
Ingredients: 121.2 g Tris base (dissolved in water) with 28.55 mL of glacial acetic acid & 50 mL 0.5M EDTA (pH 8.0)
