July 30th

Digestion

I tried to digest the plasmid extraction products again, and after Ethanol precipitation, we did electrophoresis.

Transformation

I think that the E. coli which we used transformation is BL21(DE3)pLysS. So, the E. coli could grow on LBC plate.
I'm going to do transformation into DH5α.


Transformation plasmid DNA ligated at 25th (pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1K3) into DH5α.

  1. Added 2 ul of plasmid DNA to 50 ul of thawed competent cells on ice.
  2. Incubated on ice for 30 min.
  3. Added 200 ul of LB then incubated the cells for 2 hrs at 37C.
  4. Prepared and Labeled two petri dishes with LBK.
  5. Plate 200 ul of the transformation onto first dish and spread.
  6. Added 450 ul of LB to 50 ul of the transformation and spread 200 ul of it onto second dish.
  7. Incubated the plates at 37C for 14 hrs.

Liquid culture

Liquid culture for pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1K3.

  1. Added 2 ml of LBK into culture tubes.
  2. Resuspended colonies.
  3. Incubated the tubes at 37C for 18 hrs.
