1/26
on 1/26 I finally did a gram stain of gobi that is clearly gobi. It's been a while since I got a good look of gobi without burning it during the heat fix.
Really pretty purple grapes. Soon, we'll be growing biofilm from this.
3/24 Lab
3/24/18 was my first day in the STEM lab and in a biology lab, so sorry if this post is a bit confusing or does not make sense because my concept of biology is fairly weak. In this picture, it shows a putative lactonase sample. On line 2, there was no DNA; it was clean. On lines 3 and 4, it shows the bands seen at approximately 800 bpm, and in line 5 there was no band present. In this lab, I learned a lot about the micro-pipets and which ones to use during specific steps of this process. I am still very new to all of this, so hopefully my future posts will be more understandable.
I’ve also been working with a biofilm forming bacteria. I’m examining something different, but I can’t wait to see how your experiment turns out! We’re actually using two different types of media to grow ours, and they both have different salts and amounts of salt, and I always wonder what different things about the bacteria might be effected.
