Week 10

Monday

As a team, we fixed a few of the protocols to add positive controls and more replicates at different concentrations for the xylose and eucalyptol procedures. We also recieved our order of xylose, eucalyptol, and our gene block parts. However, we discovered that we didn't have the Gibson Assembly master mix, which we will have to look into purchasing.

Tuesday

We began the procedure for making competent cells of the BL21 type. We also found a Gibson Assembly kit that we are planning on ordering to assemble our gene blocks. The kit also contains super competent cells, which will be very useful in our future protocols. We also worked on some housekeeping activities, like updating our website, the safety information, and organizing our current materials.
