ObjectivePrepare a phosphate buffer, add bacteria to the LB broth to make the bacteria starter culture, and calculate how much protein needs to be added to each hydrogel DescriptionPhosphate buffer preparation
Sterile techniques were used to add a swab of bacteria to the broth that had been autoclaved on Monday. The bacteria were placed on a shaker overnight at 37°C
