Afternoon,
Today, myself and Jo removed the plugs from the molds into a universal, added lysozyme and mutanolysin and incubated the plugs for 4 hours at 37ºC. During that time we began filming interviews with other students in the lab, discussing their projects/work, positives, negatives and what they had enjoyed and found challenging. We then removed the lysozyme and mutanolsyin and added proteinase K, leaving the plugs to incubate overnight at 50ºC.
Tomorrow we will be washing the plugs, hopefully running a PFGE gel with non restriction enzyme plugs and treating other plugs with the restriction enzyme, Spe1. We will also hopefully be filming another interview in the lab! 🙂
