The first characterizing run will be for our "good mutants" #1-6 at 0% arabinose. The four levels of IPTG that we have decided to start with are 0 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, and 1 mM. | The first characterizing run will be for our "good mutants" #1-6 at 0% arabinose.

+ | We are starting to gather data at a very fast pace. The current schedule is to let each plate incubate for either 6 hours at 37 °C or 18 hours overnight at room temperature, and then to run each plate for 6 hours in the Tecan at 37 °C. This allows us to get in three runs a day: one at 8:00 am, one at 2:00 pm, and one at 8:00 pm. Thankfully we have a hardworking team that is dedicated to keeping the Tecan running 24/7! |

Today marked the beginning of our characterization of R0010 mutants. We plan on characterizing six mutants at a time by running many 96-well plates (8 rows, 12 columns) through the Tecan. We will have six rows for mutants, one row for wild type, and a final row for our controls. Each plate will have a constant arabinose level in all wells (except the controls) and will have 4 levels of IPTG induction across each row. Not only will we be able to get a lot of data about how each mutant responds to various repressor concentrations, but we will determine a good range of arabinose and IPTG levels to test over in the upcoming weeks.
The first characterizing run will be for our "good mutants" #1-6 at 0% arabinose. The four levels of IPTG that we have decided to start with are 0 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, and 1 mM.
