=Redo of J45120/J45181 3-Hour Pulse=

1. Add the following in a 2-L flask:


 * 275 mL LB AMP/TET


 * 27.5 uL grown J45120 culture

2. Grow the culture up for 20 mins at 220 RPM at 37C

3. Add the following in a 2-L baffled flask:


 * 275 mL LB AMP/TET


 * 27.5 uL grown J45181 culture

4. Grow the culture up for 20 mins at 220 RPM at 37C

5. Lower the RPM for both cultures to 110 RPM at 37C. The start of this step is Time Zero.

6. After x hours (for x=4 to x=12), extract 25 mL culture from master culture, pour into 125-mL flask, and add 0.5 mL .1 M salicylic acid to it for both J45120 and J45181 (grow up at 110 RPM)

7. At hour x+3 for hour x, GC extract culture

=Fluorescence=

Also set up 3 LCs of each J45995, J45996, R0040.E0840, and B0015 at 8:50 PM and made reservations for the plate reader (5 PM Saturday to 5 PM Sunday)

Weird, huh?

For the time being, will try repeating 3-hour pulse experiment
