10/19/13

JL, LP

• Ran a low melt gel for Cloning T7 Capsid Protein into iGEM Registry.

10/8/13

JL

• Started 10.8 Characterization of Mutant Phage by propagating the mutants.

10/9/13

JL, LP

• Purified the propagated mutant from 10.8 Characterization of Mutant Phage.

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

10/10/13

LP

• Performed spot tests to estimate the mutant phage titer in 10.8 Characterization of Mutant Phage.

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

JL
