Characterizing growth in broth Planning for August 2014 and onward
Current Project Status • Interesting results from summer experiments • Goal: grow cells that convert caffeine to theophylline in tetracycline broth • August: replicate Shannon Doherty’s growth of JM109 #23 in broth • One day @ 37°C and three days @ room temperature • Pilot study for incubation only at RT • Control for tetracycline function • Characterize growth of ΔNEP1:#23 cells Shannon Doherty, Erika Keffeler, Jon Lim
Looking forward • Goal: expand knowledge on growth in tetracycline broth • Continue growing cells in various concentrations of caffeine • Grow cells exclusively at RT • Investigate growth of ΔNEP1 with other genotype combinations Shannon Doherty, Erika Keffeler, Jon Lim
