I’m forgoing future measurements. I have some data to post (in a few minutes) that may reveal potential contamination. And so to verify if the samples are contaminated or if a cool new phenomenon is occurring, I’m growing the D2O adapted yeast in DDW, to see if they revert back. Although, I don’t think that will reveal much either way.

In lieu of the daily measurements I’ll be taking microscope images of the cells as they grow.

Every day I will inoculate a few colonies from the previous generation (similar to what I have been doing, with an inoculating loop) into 10ml of fresh YPD (both D2O and DDW).
