Week 4
Inoculation and revival of frozen stocks.
June
Week 1
Determined the optical density (OD) of the previously revived cultures.
Week 2
Restriction digestion, purification, and ligation of pMEV4 and PCR products (C1 and C2).
Transformation by heat shock, plated the cells, made an agarose gel and ran the products on it.
Picked colonies from the previous day of plating.
Plasmid extraction, digestion, gel electrophoresis, and verification.

Prepared the revived cultures for fluorescence microscopy.
Fluorescence microscopy training.
Anaerobic transformation of RBS libraries 1-12 into M. maripaludis.
Puromycin enrichment of transformants.
Made glycerol stocks of original transformants.
Fluorescent microscopy of transformants/pAW50-mCherry/S0001.
July
Week 1
Took ODs of the native RBS and library 1 and 2 (12; L-1; L-2 respectively).
Plated the 12, L-1, and L-2 cultures.
Dispensed media to test tubes.
Picked colonies form the plates.
Week 2
ODs from last weeks picked colonies were taken.
Made frozen stocks of RBS colonies,
Sub-cultured parent strains.
