The strain of E. coli with the copy of super-folded GFP that was incubated the previous night has shown limited/no growth in the prepared LB broth. This could have been caused by:<br>
+
-
-No innoculation<br>
+
-
-Kanamycin concentration in LB broth was too high. We had used 85μg/ml.<br><br>
+
-
<b>New protocol:</b><br>
+
-
50μg/ml is the recommended concentration. We will use 35-40μg/ml of kanamycin to speed up growth.</html>
