Housekeeping (incubator status)

  • Removed
    • All flasks from upper shelf
      • Bleach was added to the flasks and poured down the drain
    • PCC 7942 flask w/o thiosulfate
  • Added
    • Inoculated a new flask (100 mL BG-11 w/thiosulfate) with a colony from PCC 7942 streak #1 plate
    • Inoculated a new flask (100 mL BG-11 w/thiosulfate) with 2 mL of liquid culture from the PCC 7942 flask w/thiosulfate (from 2006-7-7)
    • Control (100 mL BG-11 w/thiosulfate)

Gel Electrophoresis

  • Ran two gels of the PCR products from Friday
    • 1% Agarose Gel: for larger segments
    • 2% Agarose Gel: for smaller segments
  • The gels were hot to the touch and one of the gels crumbled (melted).
  • The other gel displayed nothing (not even the ladder)
  • Ran two gels again, repeat of the first gel electrophoresis
    • 1% Agarose Gel: for larger segments
    • 1.5% Agarose Gel: for smaller segments
