- Perform site-directed mutagenesis when unwanted mutations are detected in your constructs.
- Perform transformations of delicate algal specimens using biolistics, carbon nanotubes, injections, or bacterial vectors, and screen for transformants at single micron resolution using confocal microscropy and FLIM microscopy.
- Use reverse transcriptase PCR & Western Blot to check for transformation success.
- Perform library preparation.
- Make stocks and solutions, including artificial seawater.
- Maintain colonies of algae, and responsibly dispose of algal waste.
