Supernatant transfer:
Spun down 4ml of culture in 2-2ml tubes for each sender. Poured supernatant into round bottom tubes. Dropped some supernatant onto pH strip. Added 1ml of receiver cells to a 2ml centrifuge tube. Added 20ul of Amp and shook. Added 100ul of Receivers + (~4ul) Amp to each 4ml volume of Sender cells in round bottom tubes. Added 1ml of LB+Amp to add nutrients and lower the pH a little. Same Sender-Receiver pairs as above. Started shaking ~10:30.

Entry title

9AM

BL21 sender cultures grew in 6mls and 2mls. RhlR-GFP still didn't grow.
Shook LuxR, TraI, and TraR that had been in the fridge for a few minutes.

Co-cultures: Add 100ul of Sender, 100ul of Receiver to 3ml LB+Amp (except for TraI culture, which will not have antibiotic). Started shaking at 10AM.

Supernatant transfer: Spun down 4ml of culture in 2-2ml tubes for each sender. Poured supernatant into round bottom tubes. Dropped some supernatant onto pH strip. Added 1ml of receiver cells to a 2ml centrifuge tube. Added 20ul of Amp and shook. Added 100ul of Receivers + (~4ul) Amp to each 4ml volume of Sender cells in round bottom tubes. Added 1ml of LB+Amp to add nutrients and lower the pH a little. Same Sender-Receiver pairs as above. Started shaking ~10:30AM.
Determine pH using test strips:

Sender pH
Plain LB 6-7
LuxI 7-8
LasI 7-8
RhlI 7-8
TraI 7-8
TraR ctrl 7-8
