  • Cultured a 250ml conical flask using 100 ml BG-11 and 5 loopfuls of .6803 WT.
  • Cultured 5 streak plates of .6803 on solid BG-11

    • All were placed on the windowsill in our lab in natural light

    02/07/15

  • Three new 250ml conical flasks were set up on the shaker (42rpm). Each contained 5 loopfuls of .6803 WT and 100ml of BG-11. They were exposed to 24hr light by the overhead lights in the lab.

    • 07/07/15

  • Flask 5 cultured containing 10ul .6803 WT in 100ml BG-11. This flask will be used for preliminary growth curve measurements. The flask was placed on the shaker with flasks 2,3 and 4.

    Estimating the Cells per ml for the flask from 29/06 1a.u at 750nm = 1.6x108

  • OD750 = 0.028
    • So
  • 0.028x1.6x108 = 4.48x106 cells per ml
