After 4 hours induction, we used fluorescence microscope to exam the inocula and find out that the control group, which should not be of a dark view, have fluorescence too. That means the lac promoter can trigger the expression of its downstream genes without induction. Then we want to transfer our genes onto another plasmid, pET28a, whose promoter lied between the restriction sites of BamHI and BglII.
