Lab Notebook
Week 1
6/6/18
Our first day in lab! After some training earlier in the week, we began our work in the actual lab. We learned how to make different broths and agars, and made Luria broth (LB) plates with chloramphenicol and LB plates with ampicillin.

We calibrated the plate reader using serial dilutions of fluorescein for InterLab. The table below represents the plate wells and all values are measured in μM.

Week 7
7/16/18
We diluted primers for plasmid 1 to 100x and used those primers to amplify our plasmid 1 parts. We also made more chloramphenicol plates, transformed the plasmids for InterLab into competent NEB5Alpha cells, replated cells for InterLab onto chloramphenicol plates, and created a glycerol stock for our InterLab cells.

Events
Ampacet Visit - 7/3/18
On July 3rd, two members of our team spoke with a representative from Ampacet in Terre Haute about our project. As a plastics expert, Dr. Jared Tatum explained the processes that are done at Ampacet. While discussing our project, Dr. Tatum offered the team PET plastic samples for our experiments. He will be giving us pure PET bottles, PET pellets, and PET powder. After explaining our experimental protocol ideas, Dr. Tatum advised us to change our procedures. Our original idea had been to let the bacteria eat the pellets as their only carbon source and observe the change. However, Dr. Tatum advised that we use the powder instead of the pellets because of the greater surface area to volume ratio. Additionally, he informed the team about the effect that humidity plays on the characteristics of pure PET. He encouraged us to monitor the humidity during our experiments and note any change in results based on a difference in humidity. Because pure PET is so susceptible to changes based on humidity, PET used in disposable water bottles contain a great amount of additives to stabilize the plastic and ensure long shelf life. Based on this new information, we began designing an experiment that would determine the effects of these additives on the ability of the bacteria to breakdown the PET.
