We need to replicate Dr. Eckdahl’s 20-clone experiment twice on both campuses and mathematically analyze the data. Continue adding arabinose to induce the chaperones.
We need to grow the surviving clones on individual plates: no antibiotic, amp, amp+chlor. This will enable us to determine whether both plasmids (CDM+amp, chaperone+chlor) are still present and being transcribed.
Depending on the survivorship of the clones in the previous step, set up plates to run head-to-head competition between two surviving clones, and determine which strain is most competent. This will confirm the results of the 20-clone experiment, in a more controlled environment than a plate with all 20 clones.
