Week 9

Wrapping up. One of our Bacillus strains carrying the Fnr-1-deletion narG promoter showed no aerobic lacZ activity (what we expected), while the other strain did show aerobic activity.  Two more strains we tested showed the same results.  Unfortunately I won't have time to do everything required to determine why this happened-I'll be performing another lac assay monday and tuesday to test the hypothesis that nucleotide spacing is responsible for anaerobic narG transcription, finishing my presentation, and that's about it.
