Materials required:
- Two days before lab, streak out the following strains:
- ABX(8?) = pEDL3/pCph8/pPLPCB, on Amp/Cam/Kan plate
- ABX(22?) = pED-IPTG-INS, on Amp plate
- One day before lab, prepare O/N cultures of same
- AB8? is for edge detection plates
- AB22? is for first liquid culture experiment
Below are at set up at teaching bench:
- 2 boxes of cuvettes
Day of Lab (T/R):
