- | ===June 17===
| + | |
- | Tranformation:
| + | |
- | *Due to the presence of ampicillin on the plates, we expected no colonies on the control plates, but colonies should grow on the Leu2 and Ura3 plates because they should have antibiotic resistance against ampicillin, if the transformation succeeded. Colonies grew on all plates, even the negative controls; we assume it must have been caused by deficient or faulty amipicillin. Because of this, we cannot determine whether the transformation proceeded correctly or not.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | *We are performing a test of our amicillin stock as well as our new ampicillin stock.
| + | |
- | **Three culture tubes each with 4 mL of LB. One tube is a positive control (No AMP), one has 4 uL of our old AMP stock, and one has 4 uL of our new AMP stock.
| + | |
- | **Cells that do not contain a plasmid are placed in each culture tube.
| + | |
- | **Began shaking at 240rpm at 37 degrees Celsius at 10:30 am.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | *We will be making new plates with new ampicillin, following the same procedures as described before:
| + | |
- | **Made plates with LB agar
| + | |
- | ***Added ~300 mL H2O to graduated cylinder
| + | |
- | ***Added 12.5 g LB broth, 7.5 g Bacto Agar, and aforementioned water to Erlenmeyer flask
| + | |
- | ***Stirred on hot plate to boiling
| + | |
- | ***Added water until total volume was 500 mL
| + | |
- | ***Autoclaved
| + | |
- | ***Returned to stir plate for 15 minutes to cool
| + | |
- | ***Added 0.05 g ampicillin (for antibiotic resistance marker) to flask
| + | |
- | ***Poured into 20 plates
| + | |
- | ****3 plates discarded because the agar had solidified by the time they were poured
| + | |
- | **Transformed E. coli again
| + | |
- | ***Thawed 50 uL cells in ice bath
| + | |
- | ***Added 10 uL sterile ddH2O into biobrick wells 11A and 11C in plate 3
