Keep it up, I pretty much modify and grow E.Coli for a living.

ooh cool you grow escherichia coli?! We grew some too. we kept it B-2. What kinda strain do you guys work with and do you modify them so you can create like antibiotics for people that catch e. coli?

We use them as a production factory to kick out modified antibodies and to make Mab's and Fab's.

Ah yes. I remember the first time I modified E.coli. It was cool, but at the same time, a lot less magical than I had imagined. Haha. And yeah, I grow E.coli at home too...but I don't quite do it for a living...yeah, you know where.

Haha,
I messed around with some e. coli at a BioChem summer camp that I did this year. We infused it with the DNA of a bioluminescent (sp?) jellyfish, and it glowed neon green under UV lights. It was awesome, but this looks even cooler!
