I posted tube-loading maps from the R script from @derekseveri.bsky.social by our centrifuges. My undergrad of >1 year recently had to use a balance tube for the first time ever. github.com/derekLS1/Bal...

Do you want a recA- strain? I primarily used AGL1 (C58[pTiBo542ΔT] recA::bla/CarbR+RifR) until I started doing tobacco leaf infiltrations with mixed strains. (Old plasmids were already in GV3101.)

I just returned from vacation to find my smoke alarm chirping (sorry neighbors!). Unfortunately, it is 16 feet up & I didn't have a ladder, so I had to try to sleep that night with "beep-beep-beep" every 60 seconds.
