bacteria grown – let’s activate the DNA

The bacteria we put out in plates all grew out today – which was kind of expected. We grew them on plates without arabinose, so the DNA that was put into them would not be expressed. This is to make sure the bacteria are in their best form (the alien DNA may interfere with it somewhat), so can we can used these specimens for long term deep-freeze storage.

But to verify that these really are the ones we need, today we’ve put them on plates with arabinose as well. We’ll see if they glow tomorrow (or, actually Friday.)
