Cell no.10 is really starting to push.  At 9:09am it was reading 257mv 0.91ma 18.5degC, that's 10mv on yesterday's recorded high of 247mv 0.88ma 21degC.  It's presently bouncing off of 258&.92.

No.9 continues to lead with a cell temp of 12.5degC, only loosely wrapped with insulation.  It has a mature microbe colony capable of exceeding 300mv in 20degC temps.  

The next phase for no.10 will commence once the output peaks and has leveld out.  Then I will begin lowering the incubation temp a few degrees a day over the course of several days, ultimately removing it from the heat.  At which point it hopefully will have developed a microbe colony that behaves similarly to no.9 in that the output will be proportional to temp., and not inversely so as it still seems to be.
