Growth Curve
TB43, TB43 HU-mCherry, TB43 GFP and TB43 HU-mCherry GFP were cultivated in LB and M9 minimal medium and grown to an OD of 0.5. No minicells could be detected by flow cytometry.
Preparation of ONC
5 mL LB were inoculated from colonies of the first plate (TB43 and TB43 HU-mCherry) and incubated at 37 °C and 200 rpm.
15/09/06
Growth Curve
The procedure from 15/09/05 was repeated with the same result. The calibration of the side scatter sensor of the flow cytometer appeared to be wrong.
15/09/07
Preparation of ONC
5 mL LB were inoculated with the violacein and β-carotene plasmid containing strains and incubated at 37 °C and 200 rpm.
