Week 7

Bacterial Lab

15th July - The team is introduced to the laboratories which will be used during the summer for both bacterial and mammalian experiments.

16th July - 5X M9 salts, minimal agar, 1.4% molten agar solution and 0.1M CaCl2/15% glycerol were prepared for the generation of competent cells. Minimal agar plates were poured and streaked with W3110 Escherichia coli cells and left overnight to incubate at 37C.

17th July - Very little colony growth was observed from W3110 ''E.coli'' streaked plates. Plates were therefore left to incubate for a further 17 hours.

18th July - Sufficient colony growth allowed for the selection of a single colony from each plate. This was then inoculated in 5ul LB media + 100ul 1M MgSO4 and left to incu-shake overnight at 37C.

19th July - Cultures re-suspended in new LB media and 100µl aliquots placed into individual eppendorf tubes for placement at -80C.

Mammalian Lab

17th July - Mammalian cell culture and maintenance training by Mrs. Ludmilla Ruban. Passaged primary MEF (mouse embryonic fibroblast) cells. Passage 3.

18th July - MEF passage 4

19th July - MEF passage 5
