Biofilm Track: OD Growth Curve
Obtained ON cultures from ambl at 10:30 am (18.5 hours aerated in 32.5C, 180rpm)
- Prepared culture mix: 25ml B2 broth + 1ml ON culture for growth curve test
Errors:
- Didn't do 0 time reading: Measurement right after inoculating 1 ml staph into 25ml B2 broth
- Didn't have growth control while swirling culture flask (B2+staph) in 37 shaker
- All values are way to high than normal: For OD 600; We want reading around 0.4 for last reading point (3-5 hours after)
Next Step: Redo Growth Curve Experiment
- Prepared new ON cultures from glycerol stock: (3ml LB + staph), (3ml B2 +staph), (3ml B2 growth control), (3ml LB growth control)
- Placed new ON tubes into 37 shaker (90rpm) at 4:30pm; To be removed by 10:30pm (Saturday, July 3rd)
