growth time courses

In a few weeks I'll be headed for the Maritimes, for the final part of my sabbatical work on Gene Transfer Agent.  But before I leave here I want to run some detailed growth time courses on GTA-producing strains, taking advantage of the BioScreen machine belonging to the lab next door.

I'll first do a trial run with all the strains I have,  to check the basic growth kinetics under the Bioscreen growth conditions.  Then I'll see if I can combine the growth measurements with testing for the amounts of GTA produced.
