Biology
Remade new batch of spectinomycin 50ug/uL plates after the last batch of 10ug/uL plates failed.
Plated Top10 cells to test for efficiency -- image is after ~36 hours of incubation. Left side is plain TB, right side is the new spect plate.
Also attempted to pour some agar plugs which didn't work out very well.
