Analyse on a 1% TBE agarose gel.

Plasmid prep of RBS-GFP-DT vector. Glycerol stock had been made and plasmids were purified. Although, the centrifuge went down,
so the samples stood longer than is normally required. After measurements with the ND-1000 Nanodrop, the DNA concentration was
little lower than usual: 30.8 ng/μL and 10.5ng/μL.

Cloning PBAD-RBS-GFP
Calculations were made with the Ligation calculator based on DNA concentrations according to the nanodrop
Digestion:

2μl FD buffer

Digestion:
RBS GFP PCR product
5μl insert (PBADaraC)
1μl XbaI
1μl PstI

Incubate the samples for 30 to 40 minutes at roomtemperature

Transformation
Add to 40μl competent cells 10μl ligation mixture
Incubate for 30 min on ice
Heat shock: 45s at 42 degrees
Incubate cells on ice for 2 min
Add 1ml LB medium+ 25mM glucose
Incubate cells for 1h/1.5h at 37 degrees
Spin the cells down, resuspend them in 100μl LB medium and plate 90μl and 10μl out on the plates
Put the plates in the stove at 37 degrees overnight

Grow colonies: PBAD-LasR-LVA and PBAD-pSB1A3DT and LasR-LVA in vector
