Protocol
1. Obtain 10 different concentrations of the G418 antibiotic and sterile water. Make sure to have 1 extra concentration of sterile water as a control growth curve of the wild type yeast.
2. Set up 11 wells shown in the "Well Components".
3. Put the well plate to the reader and read for 24 hours.
4. Observe the the growth curves.
5. Determine which concentration should be used on the knockout yeast.

Protocol
1. Obtain the concentration of the G418 antibiotic and sterile water from the calibration protocol.
2. Set up 12 wells.
3. In the well plates there will be 2 of the same components. (There are 5 KO yeasts and 1 wild type)
4. Put the well plate to the reader and read for 24 hours.
5. Observe the the growth curves.
