June 21-25

This week I learned how to settle Lugol water samples on a microscope slide and count M. rubra. There was none found, however, the bloom has not started yet. I was also able to see crytophytes and M. rubra under the microscope so that  I can locate them in the samples that I will settle later. I also did more extractions this week. I was able to obtain positive results on my 16S and Rbc PCRs, which means that my project is going along well, after some trial and error PCRs.
