---5 min at 42ºC
---2 min on ice
---add 500 µL LB and incubate at 37ºC for 1 hr
---Plate on LB/Amp plates and incubate overnight


Wednesday, June 19
RFP and KillerRed plates have many colonies EGFP has about 10 colonies.

Colony PCR for 4 EGFP, 4 KillerRed and 1 control of the plasmid DNA
---Use VF2/VR primers
---PCR ends at 4:50pm
---Top Row (left to right): eGFP in pSC103 x4, KillerRed in psc103 plasmid x4, pSC103, ladder

Use gel to confirm the sequence
pSC103 is smaller than pSC103 with KR insert-transformation verified


Thursday, June 20
KR cells cultured in tubes covered in aluminum foil
Observations:
---Streaked plates grew successfully. Several colonies to choose from
---KR cultures are very turbid (no color)
---RFP cultures are bright red
---EGFP culture is turbid (no color)
---Negative control (VCS257) has no growth
---Phage strains are all turbid
Digestion of EcoKR
Find tube of KR from 6/13
Digestion started: 10:40
Digestion started RFP 11:33
End digestion around 1:30

---Inactivation of KillerRed tubes were irradiated for 5 minutes at 100% light
---All tube were plated (100µL) without dilution. KillerRed should have lower viable cell counts.


Saturday

Rfp light, induced
Some uneven spreading but basically a lawn, fairly red

Rfp light, uninduced
More evenly spread, very small individual colonies observable near edges of plate. Both pink and non pink colonies

Rfp no light uninduced
Some uneven spreading, lawn that is quite pink.

Kr no light uninduced
Complete lawn, no color

Kr light, induced
More or less a lawn (a few individual colonies observable), no observable color.
Kr light, uninduced
More uneven spreading than other two kr plates, some individual colonies observable, but it's basically a lawn. No color.
