2020 experiment

Bacterial plasmids:

  • ecadherinGFP (Addgene 28009) (Amp resistant) (Labeled B) GROWS SLOWLY! ALLOW EXTRA TIME!
for Th lab for Tu lab prep
Monday 9/13 same streak each strain onto LB Amp plate; incubate ON
Tues 9/14 same plates to fridge; re-streak if necessary
Wed 9/15 Mon 9/20 pick colony, start liquid ON culture in 100 mL LB-Amp (one of each strain)
Th 9/16 Tu 9/21 Concentrate cells (max speed >10 min), then aliquot ~1 mL per pair of each strain
