Took the PEMS inactivation plates out of the incubator. The TSB plate showed contamination and growth in quarter #2, so it will be excluded from MALDI-TOF analyzation. The other plates showed expected growth in the "live" side and no growth in the "inactivated" side.

Today I arranged the images I took from each step into documents so that I could more easily see the progression of color, clarity, and biofilm production of the flasks through the experiment. I did the same with the plate colony images to be able to contrast and compare them.

I thought back on the experiment and made notes:
- I would like to repeat the experiment with D. aquaticus along with 2-3 other Deinococcus species per discussion with Stacy.
- The timeline needs to be significantly tightened up.
- I need to make sure to ALWAYS get gram stains, particularly for bacterial growth in broth.
- We need to determine if there should be any changes to the media selection.
- Plan to do a serial dilution in order to get quantitative results on growth in the various medias.
